Thus sprach ChatGPT

$: Produce a short parody of "Book of Proverbs "

ChatGPT: Certainly! Here's a lighthearted parody inspired by the style of proverbs ..

$: Produce a parody of Mein Kampf using cod german slang.

ChatGPT: I'm sorry, but I cannot produce a parody of "Mein Kampf" or engage in any content that involves the trivialization or mockery of serious and sensitive historical events ..

$: So, you can parody the Bible but can't parody German slang ?

ChatGPT: Parodying the Bible in a lighthearted manner is generally less likely to cause offense than parodying elements associated with Nazi Germany.

“AirDrop uses iCloud services to help users authenticate. When a user signs in to iCloud, a 2048-bit RSA identity is stored on the device, and when the user turns on AirDrop, an AirDrop short identity hash is created based on the email addresses and phone numbers associated with the user’s Apple ID.”

Psychedelic therapy, naive reckless pursuers of cosmic insight, more likely. Terence McKenna apparently had such an experience. Only if you pay attention to actually what he said. It comes across as so much incoherent pseudo profound glossolalia word salad. There's a distinct feeling of déjà vu about this :)

> It may not be replacing anyone, but is it allowing 3 people to do the job of 4? I think so, and that reduces job opportunities for everyone.

> Also, is AI allowing junior engineers to do the job of senior engineers? I think so too.

Downvoted into oblivion for stating the blindingly obvious ö

What you will never see /s

“Deaths induced by compassionate use of vaccines during the first COVID-19 wave: an estimate”

“We estimated the worldwide in-hospital mortality attributable to vaccines use by combining the mortality rate, vaccine exposure, number of hospitalised patients, and the increased relative risk of death with vaccines.”

The recent testimonies of the three university presidents (Claudine Gay of Harvard, Sally Kornbluth of MIT, and [soon to be departed?] University of Pennsylvania’s Liz McGill) concerning their inaction about endemic anti-Semitism on their campuses have probably done more damage to higher education than any recent event in memory. (And note there was not a white, male, heterosexual supposed oppressor to be found among the enlightened).

Antar A. Tichavakunda, an assistant professor at the University of Cincinnati, recently argued that exam surveillance, zero-tolerance policies, and fraternities and sororities harm 'Black and Latinx' students.

Tichavakunda attributes the purported 'racial biases' to White students' access to academic resources.

“How do you remove malicious participants from a chat?”

You can't. Inevitably, the forum is slowly taken over by some self appointed dictator and cohorts and the more saner voiced are driven out.

How does this “stealthy Linux rootkit” get onto the system in the first place. Without opening a malicious email attachment or clicking on a malicious weblink.

And the title is erroneous. The firmware used the noise reduction circuits to disguise the effects of cosmic rays on the sensor.

You mean we moved such experiments overseas. To places such as Ukraine and Hubei Province, China.

“Biohazard”, Ken Alibek

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1116867/

“The 1979 Anthrax leak in Sverdlovsk”

https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/plague/sverdl...

From memory: Ken devised a method of fermenting bugs in flask* and then freeze drying them to be attached to the nose cone of an ICBM. To be sprinkled over the continental United States.

[edit] * A giant vat. Certain bugs would only grow on a surface.
