Did not know about this until I read an article - thats interesting:

Personally I think we just as a species/planet need to get human emotions out of the picture in making big decisions - like digging up all the last oil, starting wars etc. We have to have some level headed advice and decisions, OK, we can put human gate-post on it. But it should never be 1 individual or party. I would even say for local issues it can be left alone!

@ozzelot @SnoopJ @AlSweigart once a doctor told me I have to give up drinking, cigarettes and too much meat.

I never drank, never smoked and was vegetarian.
Now I am prepared for the next doctors visit to oblige to his request

@kasperd @n_dimension @AlSweigart in my AI classes I usually start with this:
I dont need AI.
If I have no clue, I can’t use AI because I am not sure it is lying. If I know the topic, I dont need AI anyway.

@bbbhltz @AlSweigart did you see the outcry when openAI closed chatgpt 4o or so?
