Why should I (as a taxpayer) have to pay for a luxury item like art? If you want to pay for that, you are free to do so.

I agree with your axioms but not your conclusion. People do value human creativity, but why do you think that comes from the degree mills and monocultures of the humanities departments? I don't agree that these departments foster creat

Dumb cars are like dumb TVs; you arent going to find any on the consumer market. All modern connected cars can be controlled remotely. Ford has even filed patents for remote shutoff for reposession purposes. Its just how it is.

This is unrealistic hopium, and deep down you probably know it. There's no such thing as models that are "good enough". There are models that are better and models that are worse and OS models will always be worse. Businesses

Sounds like someone needs to come up with VibesBench. Maybe it could just be a distilled scoring of social media sentiment the day after announcement? The more positive hype, the higher the VibeScore.

If you think the correct API is not going to be in its weights (or if there are different versions in current use), you ask nicely for it to "please look at the latest API documentation before answering". Sometimes it ignores you

OpenAI is currently getting dunked on, on all major platforms. It is incompetent.
