I haven’t watched it at least 10 years. I recall that when I first saw it, writing like this came across as facile and cartoonish.
US politics have a way of lowering your expectations it seems.

Good to have you here! Having said that, I’m going to be “that guy” and suggest that you:
- should use the domain as username, given the inevitable increase in crypto scams in here, and;
- may want to post more native content, instead of a link to a page full of Twitter links.

Am I remembering correctly that Apple’s introduction did not mention OpenAI?
I remember it from press releases, but not from the massive Apple Intelligence presentation.

My favorite trivia about Dr. Strangelove is that Slim Pickens was never told it was a comedy - that’s him acting straight.
It’s more and more looking like Kubrick didn’t think it was one either.

This looks like someone clicked Randomize on a character generator until they hit on the most unsettling, likely-to-cause-sartorial-seizures image possible, and then pasted a head over it.
I'm going to tag @dieworkwear.bsky.social just because I'm mean.

Fixing it is cheaper than a charge back, and most companies have come to understand that.
Some still don't. Which is where virtual cards with strict limits work as prophylactic.

I only had him at rampaging, pro-fascist dick, but yeah, seems he might be too if he's surprised at grifters grifting.
