We are witnessing the reign of a GOD!! Wbho knew? Nobody better, of course, than Mr Omniscience.

America what have you done to yourselves?

I have a question. The US is part of the "5 Eyes" intelligence sharing community, which is part of the "9 Eyes" intelligence community,which is part of the "14 Eyes" intelligence sharing community. So, how can the US refuse to share intelligence with Ukraine? What are the other 13 Eyes doing?

This is most insightful. Perhaps all bitcoin should be renamed after 17th century varieties of tulips like 'Lac Van Rijn’ or β€˜Duc van Tol'

I think I actually defeated CoPilot today. I asked if there were any special arrangements for sewage in buildings over 50 floors high, or if it was just a very long drop! CoPilot "thought" for 5 minutes and then just gave up! 5min is a MASSIVE amount of time for an AI system! Did it break?
