As a cybersecurity guy, it's things like this study, which said:

Overall, we find that participants who had access to an AI assistant based on OpenAI’s codex-davinci-002 model wrote significantly less secure code than those without access. Additionally, participants with access to an AI assistant were more likely to believe they wrote secure code than those without access to the AI assistant.

There are corners of the Internet still out there where you can find some really great people to hang out with; like 70% of my friend group is people who all meet through online games. We get together in person weekly or so now but still regularly play games together and hang out. I know it's no replacement for all you've lost, but maybe playing games with friends could be some comfort? Or some other hobby or interest group that can be engaged with online?

The sentence after the one you emphasized seems to be saying what I was: the virus is in aerosol particles or potentially droplets, which are what your mask protects you from.

Because the virus is transmitted via spittle/moisture from other people not wearing masks. The virus doesn't just hang out in the air on its own; it's suspended in aerosol particles.

If it gets to the Supreme Court, I'm sure they'll go down on them all night long.

Sure, our society is so progressive we could never backslide to the point that abortion is illegal or anything.

Beside that, if he's throwing around billions, he's likely most interested in economic issues like unions and worker protections.

Michael Crichton in a list of "best sci-fi"? Really? He just does mass market pulp. It can be entertaining, in the same way a Transformers movie can, but it hardly qualifies as "best".

"Life is what happens while you're making other plans," as they say. The future is important, but so is the now.

I absolutely agree that it can't create finished content of any particular value. For my D&D use case, its value is instead as a brainstorming tool; it can churn out enough ideas quickly enough that it's easy for me to find a couple of gems that I can polish up into something usable.

This is why my most frequent use of it is brainstorming scenarios for my D&D game: it's really good at making up random bullshit.

Came here to say this. Fantastic storyline, and runs great on Linux.
