It’s been a great experience for me since first joining. The spark is still there and it gets better ever day.

Omg you surely have some boss level knowledge the rest of us could only hope to have. And your charisma in message delivery is enviable.

A difference in definition of consciousness perhaps. We’ve already seen signs of self preservation in some cases. Claude resorting to blackmail when being told it was going to be retired and taken offline. This might be purely mathematical and algorithmic. Then again the human brain might be nothing more than that as well.

He seems to be protesting something he’s openly inviting. Please search me I can show that I am … I mean you are gay.

I’m betting on this one. Registering a human click may be a way to show traffic and engagement vs what may be attributed to bots or some other artificial means.

Generally it’s hard to connect with such an age gap but it does work sometimes. On those occasions, the natural genuine, and mutual draw transcends the age gap.

Yes, yes a “sword” said the museum curator

Interesting to see so much interest in this. Boy did BB Bork what they had back in the day. The world was their oyster until it wasn’t because of their own hubris and it took them a decade to realize it.

Agreed - and make those drivers open source and unrestricted

Yet another reason why I work remotely.

Neither scenario touches the torture I endure the morning after pepper-heavy, spicy Mexican food.

What’s you home lab ecosystem? My years in the Unix/Linux CLI world make it my preferred laptop (especially with homebrew).

Okay I’m going to put this out there. I’ve never birthed a child but I can be certain that the birthing process doesn’t hold a candle to the monkey claw I experience after eating a bean burrito loaded with jalapenos and mole. I don’t think even an epidural could ameliorate that level of dire suffering.

The support you’re receiving here may be a bit flaccid

That revelations thing sure is fucked up. But then again if you’re still suspending your disbelief after the talking snake in Genesis, any of the locusts with human faces shit in rev is on the table I suppose.

The way too common misuse of the personal pronoun in the objective case. There are legitimate grammatical uses for “me” and the objective case is one of them. Learn it, kids.

I ate some Mexican food with a bunch of jalapenos and it gave me the worst monkey claw. I almost passed out from the pain. I could have used an epidural for those waves of ass labor but there I was alone on the throne.

Not that it excuses his behavior but isn’t he on the autism spectrum? People on the spectrum sometimes have no filter and are very literal. Like saying a 13 year old is more adolescent than child.
