Claims, predictions , circle-jerk financials and personal experience are simple ...  generating net profit to shareholders  is hard.  Post-modern *.ai companies are ( expensively ) packaging guessed text-completion  very like 2008 banks packaged insured mortgages.  Results will be the same, tho I pray  gub'mnt lets GOOG/FBOOK/AZON etc go broke rather than refinance their "exuberance". Fetterman ( I assume the next president ) seems quite unlike the Bush family.

The M.E. has a way of driving everyone crazy; you are damned if you do and damned if you don't.

Put HAZMAT tape around the area and warn everybody away. Leave them on their own, giving them no food nor weapons; if they bonk each other to oblivion, it's their problem, not ours. I think it's God's Insane Asylum.

Non-nuts have migrated somewhere quieter, leaving mostly nuts in place, a Sanity Filter. I'm just the messenger.

You may have more music than me, but how much of it do you actually listen to? I keep that flash drive mounted in my car at all times unless I'm adding more to it and I've got a a wide variety that keeps it from getting dull. Various classical pieces going back to Bach, various arias, show tunes, TV themes and even different versions of a few songs, set so that they're not together. How much variety is in that 80 Gig of yours?

For some things you don't even need ChatGPT. If you're having the flu, it would be really nice if you just call the doctor to get the prescription instead of having to pay a visit where the doctors says "Yeah here is the prescription, bye and come back if it doesn't get better". Sometimes you really don't need a long diagnosis.

What meds for the flu?

I mean, there is Tamiflu (sp?)...but that's really only effective if you catch it at the beginning.....but the best diagnosis is generally, treat the symptoms, plenty of fluids, rest and let it run its course...

Flu is viral....so NO ANTI-BIOTICS....no matter how much the patient bitches and asks for them....

Not just driving. The argument is:  excepting medications, all possible human  value has already been created for all useful human  products. Thus, only ornaments (like smartphones ) or emo-panders ( like ads )  are worth trying to newly generate. No surprise ...  if you got Sirius ( ornament ) you get the pander (ads).
