There were shadowy conspiracists lurking in the dark alleys of Washington, and hiding from the glaring sun in the High Desert of California, but they were laughably easy prey when the Martian lizard people, the subterranean Vril-empowered mole-men, and the globalist pedophile Commies did show up.

  • It’s a neat tool for very specific language-related tasks.
    For example, it can translate a poem so that the translation still rhymes.
    Its main strength is not its ability to write, but to read. It’s the first time in human history where you can pose any question to a computer in human language, and expect to get a meaningful reply.
    As long as that question isn’t asking for facts or knowledge.
    It’s also useful for “tip of my tongue” queries, where the right Google search term is exactly what you’re missing.

    All of its output is only usable and useful if you already know the facts about what you’re asking, and can double-check for hallucinations yourself.

    However, on a societal scale, it’s a catastrophy on par with nuclear war.
    It will consume arbitrary amounts of energy, right at the most crucial time when combatting climate change might still have been possible.
    And it floods everyone’s minds with disinfo, while we’re at the edge of a global resurgance of fascism.

    “Wank tank” is a derogatory term for lifted, oversized pickup trucks, implying they’re as big as a tank, but with the only purpose of serving as wank material for the owner.
    In these pictures, the pickup truck has a longer wheelbase than the tank, and is of comparable size overall, confirming that the term is appropriate.
    The bicycle in both pictures with the parallel lines proves that both pictures are at the exact same scale.
