Wow, nothing quite like solving the big issues in life.

I think it was Guy Kawasaki in 1997 who introduced me to the idea of eating your own dog food. In other words, use your own product.

Given how much Altman is pushing this dog and pony show, I'm happy to trust ChatGPT with his medical fate, which will no doubt reveal just how much this AI is Assumed Intelligence, or in less technical terms, snake oil.

Is this Worker Satisfaction .. or Hotel California?

It's an interesting stance, but ask yourself, where is the line between advertising and promotion or sponsorship.

I think that requiring that advertising is factual might be a better way to address the issue.

Ultimately as a society we haven't come up with a better way to communicate the existence of products and services to each other, and we've been using advertising for 5,000 years or so.

A till.

And an accounting package.

No hosting required.

Here's the thing .. as crazy as a notebook with passwords sounds, it's not accessible to someone across the internet.

Do we have a nomination for this year's Darwin Award?

The $18.6 million in cash and 225 gold bars in two boxes that belonged to the late Mr. Jimmy Lemi Milla.

Watching the various motorcycle touring series that Ewan McGregor and Charlie Boorman made hints at some of the realities of this intersection between life and acting.

There's several references to skills that Ewan picked up to make one or other movie and how those skills are now part of "life".

I do seem to recall that Ewan also pointed out that these skills were incomplete, pretending to be a chef convincingly requires some actual skills, but not decades of background training.

I doubt that it's substantially any different from learning a new hobby and moving on to the next one and starting again. You don't forget the first hobby and are likely to use some of it in the next one. Other than being taught by an actual expert, which seems like a potential unexpected perk of acting.

In short, the journey of life is peppered with things you learn, regardless of your chosen profession.

Because nothing protects children more than uploading their selfie or government id to a random company who "promises" to delete the information seven days later .. because of course it will and everyone will be able to check and see the pink unicorn in person.

This is not NSFW and tagging it thus makes it less effective, eventually meaningless.
