I honestly don’t get the value of this company. They hoover up energy and water. Their product constantly gets things wrong and, in extreme cases, coaches people into suicide.
And it’s all built on what seems to be malicious and vast intellectual property theft.
What does OpenAI offer the world?

Keeping up with the UCP government's democratic transgressions can be difficult.
But not impossible.

During one visit to Toronto in 2024, I stumbled upon arguably one of my favourite fountains ever.
It features 27 dog sculptures each spraying water from its mouth, along with one cat.
This is the story of the dog fountain and the good puppers who surround it.

Halloween! Time to stock up on my favourite candy for the trick-or-treaters, then turn out the lights and pretend I'm not home so I can eat all the candy myself.

Don't we all wish to be an author of mild esteem who lives in a small coastal town and solves minor mysteries that befuddle the local authorities using our wits, charm, and strong whiskey?

Do something nice for yourself every day.
Enjoy some tea, take a little nap, or shamble through the catacombs beneath crumbling castles and find the bones of ancient kings to snack on.

Do not fear the night.
You and your tattered slippers, weary bones, blurry vision, and deep desire for cheese snacks belong to the darkness.

For Alberta folks, the Forever-Canadian petition has attracted some trolls. Just heard that some creeps are going around with a laptop to con seniors into thinking they can sign online. Please remind folks they must sign the petition in person and doublecheck the canvasser's credentials.
