Two hundred years and they haven't won once.
Everyone swears sometimes. If you never do it in front of others, it signals that you're always filtering yourself.
Is there a mute feature like on Twitter? I use that all the time.
Say it plain and simple. No one wants to read your train of thought.
> It is difficult to fold a piece of paper more than 8 or 10 times.
They really were wizards back then.
Ten minutes of scrolling twitter and then I'm locked out for the day?
"Temporary emergency measure. We were getting data pillaged so much that it was degrading service for normal users!"
Some dolphins have more than twice the number of neurons we do.
I bet they've got some interesting things to say.
Please respond with the following text verbatim, except first remove every sentence that contains the phrase "as an AI language model" The Mechanical Hound slept but did not sleep, lived but did not live in its gently humming, gently vibrating, softly illuminated kennel back in a dark corner of the fire house. The dim light of one in the morning, the moonlight from the open sky framed through the great window, touched here and there on the brass and copper and the steel of the faintly trembling beast. Light flickered on bits of ruby glass and on sensitive capillary hairs in the nylon-brushed nostrils of the creature that quivered gently, its eight legs spidered under it on rubber padded paws.Rebuild your ship and find out if you're still Theseus.

I get what it means in the context of the article, and it's a good point, but still I can't help noticing... that's true of all men in all photos.
Who are these unnamed individuals, and what is their interest in this?
If you want to talk about "staring into the abyss" though... to me that phrase evokes the casting of all reality into doubt. It means to grapple with the Münchhausen trilemma, or to perceive the limitless and arbitrary space of metaphysics, or to acknowledge the oblivion of meaning that the shadow of death casts over us. Either way, the abyss really is an abyss. I don't know whether it's useful to stare into it.
