Talking heads spewing Chinese spy conspiracies, but I’m living in rural Virginia so I know the real truth about who’s coming for us…

Any time somebody posts about how great ChatGPT is and how it’s going to power their next system (or powers their current system), I feel like asking “And do you know that ChatGPT is a liar and is delusional?” 😛 (Disclaimer: Just a turn of phrase, I do not believe that ChatGPT is conscious …)

Newbie here! A friend told me that she couldn't see my bunny artwork (I forgot to post it at first!) so I'm reposting this...

It makes it all those hours waiting in the cold worthwhile when you get the flight shot & they are looking straight at you. 😛 😀
