All these articles telling you how totally safe it is to ingest artificial chemical xyz remind me of how companies were telling you it was fine, even healthy, to smoke cigarettes. The degree of arrogance with which these scientists state their truths is confounding.

Meanwhile chronic illnesses and cancer rates are skyrocketing.

I'll pass on the industrial byproducts being used in my food, thanks.

The services I've recommended to clients are too often low quality, overcomplicated, expensive, shit alternatives to the better open source solutions...

And to add insult to injury, imagine having built something with a service like this and it being deprecated in such a short timeline...

1984 aint got nothing on that insurance company. Do you remember the name so we can all collectively try to avoid it?

The smarter a woman is, the smaller the chance that she will find a partner.

The more a woman makes, the smaller the chance that she will find a partner.

The taller a woman is, the smaller the chance that she will find a partner.

The opposite is true for males.

But money, height and intelligence aren't everything though. If you're rich, tall and smart but don't talk to women: you're not going to have a lot to choose from. The opposite can be true, if you are short, poor and dumb but you have a few cool pics on your dating app profile: you could have plenty to choose from!

As a top earner (for my age), average looking 6 foot smart dude I thought women would just magically appear after I broke it off with my previous partner of 7 years. Created a profile on a few apps and hardly got any matches. The truth is, if you can't let your value shine through somehow, this value doesn't mean so much. After adding a few details (job title, picture of me in my car driving, doing some cool hobbies) things have changed...

Open source implementation of this

Pretty trivial thing to implement.

Used to frequent these forums.

Has a market cap of twice that of netflix but not a giant?

Where do you draw the line?

Or is this just a wrapper to the chatGPT public and free frontend?

If thats the case I don't think this is fair use.

We are an incredibly hardy species. We are clever. We find ways to survive in deserts, mountains, small islands, icey tundras and anything in between.

We plan ahead, we can eat and digest pretty much anything (except for cellulose) and we have as much drive to survive as your average cockroach.

Sure our species is vulnerable. And I wouldn't rule out large percentages of our population dying at some point. But don't bet against the inventiveness and flexibility of humans. We may be one of the last species on this planet to become extinct.

But I wouldn't dare bike to work in most places in the world... Even in Belgium I would hesitate to do this in the big cities.
