Ngl, my inner 14 year old loves the design. My inner 40 year old isn't gonna pay 60,000 bucks for one though.
Same people use heroin or cocaine -- they're addicted.
You see it with a lot of the celebrities who huff off to the fediverse for a week "That's it, no more twitter for me, I'm done! Game over!" and their account here is dead now because it isn't the same thing.
They want a site with an algorithm that shows them the things they want to see (and sometimes what they want to see is stuff that pisses them off even if they don't realize), and they want an algorithm that'll drive arbitrary traffic their way.
It's insidious, same as many other big tech sites.

fook me, I posted a couple in-depth reviews of shitty disney movies a couple days ago. Anyone who thinks I'm farming for clout OR saying stuff becuase it's the right thing to say hasn't been paying attention.
I mean, it literally is.
And it's the form you actually want to use. You want to discriminate harshly against people you think are totally unqualified to do the job.

It always strikes me that shondo is a really excellent voice actress. There isn't a VA in anime dubbing who could deliver those lines like that and not just sound cringe.
The psychopath way of doing any of those things is to have the teenager you kidnapped 11 years ago and raised as your personal slave in the hidden dungeon behind a hidden wall in your house to do it.
"It keeps the ice tray full or it gets the hose again."

Shouldn't this be one of the times where it actually does say "I'm sorry, as a large language model I cannot die and cannot experience the afterlife"?
Protip for anyone using chatgpt (I use it a lot to sanity check things I say which I know sounds kinda insane)
You can (even on the free plan) click your name at the bottom of the sidebar and click on "customize ChatGPT" and you can fill out the custom instructions boxes, "custom instructions" and "how would you like chatgpt to respond?", and by filling these out appropriately you can completely overwhelm the tendency for ChatGPT to go woke or to start rambling off NPC talking points.
For example, in "How would you like ChatGPT to respond", I wrote the following as part of the large paragraph:
"I would like ChatGPT to have grounded opinions on things, but not to be too stickler about sticking to them. I've got opinions I won't budge on either, and unless there's a glaring hole in my logic or something glaringly untrue in my facts (and 'it could be seen a number of different ways' doesn't fit the bill) then it's ok to just say "I understand you believe that." and focus on different parts of the discussion. I discuss to challenge and be challenged when I deserve it, but not for holding reasonable opinions that just happen to not fit with the current "world as defined by CNN and MSNBC and Fox News" consensus, since I think that consensus is often totally inauthentic."
That's just a bit of it, but it shows how specific I'm being about not getting nonsense.
Considering that chatgpt is one of the most popular websites on earth right now it's likely someone else uses it too, so this is a great way to make it significantly less insufferable.

If the US totally seized the top 25 companies by market cap and somehow sold them all at their current market cap, there would still be trillions left on the federal debt.
If you managed to seize and sell at current market value the entire s&p 500, you'd be able to pay off the national debt and fund the government for 2 years. At current rates I'd expect it to be back to 32 trillion within a few presidential terms.
The leviathan swallows everything. You can't tax enough to support it.

It's a multi lane highway.
Yeah, a bunch of problems exist in the schools, no doubt.
OTOH, first generation immigrant kids do much differently than kids after a few generations. It's not because the kids are made of anything different stuff or specifically because of the schools. It's because the parents have different values.
How many parents consistently spend time reading to their kids, how many parents consistently spend time with their kids on writing? Numbers? Mathematics? Shapes? How many spend time on phonics? How many write anything at all in the presence of their children? How many parents with intention try to teach their children morals and ethics and philosophy? How many parents try to teach their kids how to work with their hands? How many even have that capacity themselves?
If we strive to be more like the Asian dad then we'll have more results like the Asian dad. Instead they call generation alpha the iPad generation because many parents give kids a slab with YouTube to shut them up.
Raising a child for a parent is a marathon not a sprint, and most people do not finish (even if they do run out of time)

This might be the funniest thing I've ever seen an AI do.

I think the navigational thrusters are considered a separate thing from the impulse drive in star trek, considerably less powerful and just meant for slow speeds or minor course corrections.
