severalcatslater.com
My latest oddly shaped thought: after a week with ChatGPT Atlas, I have some thoughts on how to make it less of a curiosity & more of a companion — smarter tabs, better translations, & a search bar that listens.

This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else.
