I am not American, so my observations on its politics will be limited and often wrong. Apologies. 33 year old male. Have a good day.

You just made me realise that in a way LLMs are a way for us to simulate communicating with an alien who masters English but has none of the basic assumptions we have. As you said, they have no idea what death is. They can describe it, quite eloquently, but they do not have death anxiety.

I wonder if this grows from video game piracy. Among video gamers, the "pirate every game" mindset has become at the very least morally justified due to horrible anti-consumer decisions by gaming companies. Maybe from there the zeal grows uncontrollably to 'pirate everything'?

Question: how widespread are good public libraries in the US? My experience is that when I lived in Indonesia the public libraries doesn't really allow any of that. Thank you.

My assumption on spaceships somehow rely on them being a product of peacetime, and their travel (at least started with) in relatively peaceful age, and it seems your plot is either still during some war or a very new peace? In any case, thank you for answering!

This answer makes me realise my only conception of what an 'author' is is still stuck on 'one person making novels, rarely very rich'. Thank you for broadening my horizons.

That's true! I heard of 'trust fund kid' and I just imagined it's for, like, Richie Rich-level millionaire kid, not normal authors. Thanks for the answer.

Sorry if I sound stupid, but it just never crossed my mind that normal individuals can also have trusts. Turns out my only conception of a trust is only for inheritance stuff like the National Trust!

Wow! Is there like worldbuilding attached to this, or are the designs mostly it?
(I'm not implying a design without worldbuilding is worthless, of course)

Wait, wait wait, genuine question: a trust? Like, a separate legal entity that manages money? Some authors have those?

I just asked it to rewrite and translate and it did that. decently, too! And without internet! Whoa
damn i got (at the very least) a rewording/translating program that's completely offline here! I never knew LLMs can work in this weak laptop of mine. Thanks, Mr. Paulauski!

Probably the only thing I dislike about TLJ is that Finn and Rey, the pair I loved the most in the seventh movie, spends very little time together.

Wait, really? Less than 4GB? I thought LLMs are like hundreds of gigabytes at least, since ChatGPT was like ~400GB last time I checked. It had really improved that much?

Genuine question: with the powers Trump have right now, what kind of punishment will stick? Would disbarring the lawyers involved here stop Trump getting more lawyers to do his bidding in the future?

I was so close to being unaffected by this! I just watched a YouTube video on right wing wellness gurus and the video uses copious clips of RFK speaking, and his tone of voice is now implanted in my brain. Now my brain, the best computer there is, hurts itself.
