Clearly because it's cheaper than having a lot of people violating the rule a little.

Think of all the savings!

ChatGPT can be super useful, but I'm kind of worried about people learning to use it exclusively.

I tried helping a PhD student assemble a set up for measuring transistors. He used ChatGPT to do all the code for the software control (python), which is fine, even if he relied on it to fix every single part of his code when a quick trip to the reference manuals of the equipments would solve the problem instantly.

At a certain point I realized I maybe had misunderstood his set up design and asked him "wait, which device do you want to connect to your gate? Which terminal even is the gate?"

And I kid you not, the dude asked ChatGPT which terminal in his device was the gate

(he also reeked of weed so there's that)

I bet all the people who said "chess is a solved game" are feeling really silly right now

I've always said that the worst thing that 9 did was completely destroy any excitement for Star Wars in an instant.

Prior to 9 releasing, people didn't like 8 and were already souring on 7, but there was still discourse, people caught up on Star Wars news, people were excited for the new content.

After 9, the excitement dropped like a brick. It was the closure of a trilogy in one of the most profitable IPs in the world. There was still more content planned to come out soon iirc (the shows, and I think there was talk of more movies), so it's not like people stopped caring due to the lack of content. Nobody I knew was interested in discussing fan theories or analyzing the movies (except to rag on them, I suppose). It was as if millions of voices cried out in terror... And were suddenly silenced.

Luckily it's an alligator, so the tears are genuine. If it were a crocodile, on the other hand...

Earl is a real name. However, for this one, they explain in the series that he was supposed to be named Carl like his father, but due to sloppy handwriting he ended up being named Earl

Children of Time, not Earth! Also gets my highest recommendation.

I guess that analogy was the coelacanth of lemmy comments. Extinct.

That is still worrisome. Thank you!

Wait, what do you mean only 50 living members remain? A quick (admittedly too quick) Google search yields the number 50000, did you forget a "thousand"? Or is the situation even more dire?
