a guy broke into Windsor Castle to assassinate the royal family with a crossbow and now that he's being prosecuted there are transcripts of his chatbot "girlfriend" encouraging him to do it?

 all these years later and I still cannot pinpoint exactly how John Lennon's Bed-In for Peace failed to achieve world peace by laying around in bed and inviting the press to photograph him. 

on paper it SEEMS like it should have worked.

 Lyft decided it was high time to say women and enbies.  

and then refer to women and enbies as "Women+. for women, by women."  and enbies.

 it's been over a day of this chatgpt text getting clowned on and nobody has manually removed it as a top result. 

the same way that we ceded the postal service to junk mail and our phones to junk calls, we are going to have to accept online services collectively throwing their hands in the air and giving up on reigning in cheaply generated junk content. like I don't understand the plausible alternative to that near-future.

 i am a poison centrist. i believe you should have a moderate amount of poison for a well-rounded existence. 

 i am no longer saying the fediverse is like email. from now on the fediverse is a lot that turkish neighborhood of uncompleted mini-castles. 

it was supposed to be one beautiful-but-unrealistic thing, and instead it's a different broken-and-hilarious thing, and if anyone lives there you have to assume they were driven into the hills for being unable to exist in polite society.
