A person from Earth. Definitely not an elder god in disguise. Nope.
The sixteenth century called and said it had a think about it, but it's pretty sure the answer is no.

Do all your writing in notebooks. That way you could be a pen tester.

Ah, another member of the high blood pressure club, though I'll admit my eyes have never exploded. I'm on ramipril, but from what I've read, both types of drugs work equally well. Can't say I've noticed them making me any chiller though.

I can report that my primary school had the only known copy of Granny's Garden on their BBC Micro that had a machinegun in it that you could use to "solve" some of the problems. I have no idea how that happened and any insinuations otherwise will be strenuously denied.

Being honest, they wouldn't need that long. The headline I saw for that story started off with "Chatgpt teddy bear..." and that was all I needed to realise I knew where the story was going. I'd started laughing before the fourth word.

AI "safety" and "alignment" are a joke. All they can do is either tweak the system prompt (which will never be 'safe', it just goes in the soup with the rest of the input) or pattern-match on input/output, the kind of the 9-year-olds figure out ways around in kids games.

If you were in the UK, I'd be dragging you straight down to A&E to get examined if I saw you with eyes like that.

The big question is, was the food truck hired by the hospital to increase their patient count, or did the food truck owners just think "Hmm... where are we going to find a lot of fans of deep fried food?"

On the plus side, if you need to find a border crossing to get your contraband out of the country, it'd be easier if you were smuggling maps than bottles of hooch.

The pillow manufactures have read a bit of Heisenberg. They suspect that the velocity of your head will be practically zero while sleeping, so since they can't know it's exact position, they've produced a larger pillow to cover more of the possible locations that your head might occupy.
