An NFT is a way to attribute authorship in a mathematically guaranteed way. If Taylor Swift signs ownership of a picture of her, you can know it is what she presents as real. If Elon musk signs a YouTube video of him offering crypto doublin

It seems to me that this would validate the practice of sarcophagizing Egyptian pharaohs such that they can be reborn in the afterlife. As far as I understand it, we now have the technological capacity to do so, and simply lack the moral an

Depends on the model honestly. If you include gpt model in your unit tests, be prepared to run them over and over again until you get a pass, or chase your own shadow debugging non-errors.
