I am surrounded by people who are outsourcing their own thinking to ChatGPT and they are quickly and obviously becoming dependent on it for even the most banal tasks. Once again, the "figuring it out" is the important part. Yes, you can use a crane to lift weights but you will not get stronger

Hi, I’m Zarich, and I made an original #OFMD cosplay, fondly known as The Coat. It’s an 18th century suit covered in embroidery and appliqué that represents every character, theme and main plot point of Season One. No, it’s not finished. Yes, the captains’ cabins are in the cuffs 😁

"May I have your name?" the faerie said. "William," she said with a smile. "Ah ah!" The faerie gave a wicked laugh. "I have your name! Now no-one will call you by it!" "Thank you," she said. "To win it back, you must- what?" "I will find me a new one," she said, "one that suits me better."
