Can google please use AI to find bugs then? Software is in such a state now, Gmail is full of bugs around sharing attachments to the position that I have to tell my dad to turn his phone off and on again in order to attach a document

Super cool, the design and branding really scratches a nerd itch But there’s so many combinations available but only like 5 pictures? You should be able to see every combination example easily in order to make a decision

Of course not in half a century, but it's not like the earth just stops getting hotter after 2100 rolls around. What about 2200? Humanity at 2300? It's the same planet with the same feedback loops after all.

Sorry, even worse then I got confused because a journal referenced them > The experiment’s reach has now spread into the published medical literature. The bixonimania research has been cited by a handful of researchers, including a study
