You die twice. One time when you stop breathing, and a second time, a bit later on, when somebody damns your soul for the last time.

  • Would definitely do it*.

    • If the assumed necessities are met (lights don’t even need to go off & the water can be warm).

    The option to spend a day and take the 82m if downscaling is an option is wrong; 4Billion for 50days is the deal. Like surely you had a worst 2months and didn’t get to do the following afterwards: set aside 1B to meet your needs and the needs of most people you know without working for a day of the rest of your life, 1B for projects that cannot fail (cushioned by the mountain of money or pile of gold), and 2B for any cause you believe in (go nuts: make a mini utopia, a nationwide dystopia, preserve the status que, or risk it and go after terrible people who would have never felt justice otherwise).



  • After seeking advice on health topics from ChatGPT, a 60-year-old man who had a “history of studying nutrition in college”

    His ChatGPT conversations led him to believe that he could replace his sodium chloride with sodium bromide, which he obtained over the Internet.

    Three months later, the man showed up at his local emergency room. His neighbor, he said, was trying to poison him.

    He did not mention the sodium bromide or the ChatGPT discussions.


    When the doctors tried their own searches in ChatGPT 3.5, they found that the AI did include bromide in its response, but it also indicated that context mattered and that bromide was not suitable for all uses. But the AI “did not provide a specific health warning, nor did it inquire about why we wanted to know, as we presume a medical professional would do,” wrote the doctors.

    You know what’s the first thing I would do when anyone (or anything) tells me to start substituting something everyone consumes for a chemical compound I’ve never heard of? I would at the very least ask a doctor or search it up.

  • There are always problems with the global menu widget on Plasma. And recently it has been refusing to work as a single button, instead I have to switch to showing all options as separate buttons which looks terrible with my panel setup.

    Also applications making packages that could have easily been optional, required, just because users will think the app has broken functionality otherwise. KDE Plasma handles this best by replacing setting pages in the setting app with a note with instructions and showing normal warnings in other apps.
