Exactly. LLM makes you do the same stupid shit, but faster and with more intensity.

Its not AIs fault, its advertising based SEOs fault. Search has been broken for years for many topics.

The ball on the bottom right, is the earth’s core leaving.

BTW, the book Seveneves is worth a read/listen. It covers a scenario of something very very dense passing through the moon.

This was in early 2000 New York and Washington DC. Spent about a month there and saw it daily.

How difficult it is to find fresh produce in small shops (food deserts)

How much fat is in all the meat.

How old and badly maintained many of the roads and bridges are (I am from Africa, so that says something)
