We have hit 18% on our #GoFundMe to leave a nightmare apartment situation and get set up away from DC. Hitting 50% gets us so much closer to getting our pets to a place where they can be safe as well as ourselves.

"AI will revolutionize our lives."
And OpenAI will train it on this specific case, and tomorrow will be right back to insisting "it's a genius! It reasons!"
Until somebody comes up with the next thing that it wasn't trained on. Rinse, repeat.

Over 2,000 senior staff set to leave NASA under agency push
