I am somewhat confused by takes like this. Of course skills are just prompts, this is the whole point. A skill is just a stored prompt you want to put more information into than you're likely to type out every time you intend to do th

eventually you lose most of your friends, your neuroplasticity dies down, you stop trying to look cool, fall out of the zeitgeist, and whatever strange things the kids are saying these days becomes annoying because you've stopped parti

They're easy to find, but not necessarily with stuff from off the shelf. Professionals with the right equipment though have no trouble locating them. The FCC is happy to hand out 5 and 6 digit fines for operating a GPS jammer and has f
