I'm not completely sold yet, but there's definitely enough to keep me watching. I'd love a Better Call Saul-style spin off show starring just the scientists at the radio telescope station.

Six people died from tampered Tylenol and the company pulled 30 million bottles off the market. ChatGPT is accused of urging seven people towards suicide, and OpenAI just assures us they’re still working out the kinks. Billions in investment, zero accountability.

If it makes you feel any better, imagine how annoyed Parisians will be when you tell them that their place in the world is measured in relation to the Thames.

I see we've reached the point where news organs are putting out deeply harrowing, and incredibly reported, stories like this every single day, without it making even the slightest dent in ChatGPT's constant fellation by all other sections of the press.

Homo Sapiens emerged about 300,000 years ago.

Imagine you gave an early Sapiens $9,000. And they looked at you and said “the fuck is this?”

But anyway, you piled up $9,000 Every Single Day since the first Sapiens walked the Earth.

You still wouldn’t have a trillion dollars.

Capitalism is fucked
