We went to a theatre show this week, and during intermission, I saw enough actual cigarettes to rival the 90s.

We speculated that the area had money and so the elite set smoked cigarettes instead of vaping. But you’ve offered new perspective.

Test it on topics you’re going to dig into already (to minimize work), and you’ll quickly find how horrifying this practice is.

My favorite is when the bot “infers an answer based on what information is available”, in other words, makes shit up, instead of saying “I don’t know.”

It won’t tell you it’s doing this unless you demand source material. Spoiler: what is linked below the answers as source material can be completely unrelated to the response. Like cited sources in an Ann Coulter book.

There’s no white knight. Only you and me. Which is why they probably will get away with it.

In a way, it makes sense. Same donors. Why wouldn’t some of them get bought off post election? The money in legislators is the entire game.

I’m not defending it, I’m pointing out how obvious it is that this would happen since most elections are oligarch influenced. Oh, the oligarch lost? Money just gets more direct now. Probably. To make sure each vote goes their way. No other reason for these anti-American assholes to switch party lines.

It’s probably why they’re so rabid about people like AOC, Bernie, and Mamdani. They can’t buy them off.

That depends. Did they ever kick out the US drilling company that showed up without permission.

Talk is cheap. What did they do about it?

In am offshore Trump family account, probably.

Piracy keeps the poors occupied and busy so they don’t riot. There’s no blood left to squeeze from that rock, they’re not going to buy streaming. Games are in decline as systems die of go outdated, and corporate erodes the quality of development.

They’re idiots if they push this bill in earnest.

Look what happened the last time people had too much time on their hands (Covid). And everyone has a lot more to pissed about, now.

This makes sense. A whole currency system of cheese would make more sense than the modern economics of voodoo, magic, and make believe.
