Today I could test chatgpt for the first time and I must say I am not the slightest bit impressed. I had hoped it would be more human-like in its conversation, but its answers are mostly boilerplate and legalese.

I thought at least it would be fun to use it to help me learn stuff (like Math or practicing foreign languages), but apparently getting it to do something like that would be a full-time job _for me_.

Sé que por aquí no hay mucha gente de #soria pero también sirve por si hay alguien que dé clases de alemán y que quiera cambiar de vida y mudarse a Soria.

Charles Dickens ya se mofó de la cultura woke (escribió una 'Cenicienta' políticamente correcta)

El escritor se quejó de los intentos por modificar los cuentos infantiles en un artículo de 1853, recogido en una recopilación de sus escritos periodísticos que ahora publica Gatopardo bajo el título 'Pasiones públicas, emociones privadas'

Usenet was much better than forums. Forums are the Slacks and Discords of the people who used newsgroups.

Hopelessness isn’t natural. It needs to be produced. If we really want to understand this situa- tion, we have to begin by understanding that the last thirty years have seen the construction of a vast bureaucratic apparatus for the creation and maintenance of hopelessness, a kind of giant machine that is designed, first and foremost, to destroy any sense of possible alternative futures.

To be honest, I wouldn't want to invest in a country that has a tendency to shut its borders for years, or even centuries, for the darndest reasons. Call me weird, but I don't find that trustworthy, business- or otherwise.

Some of the places I stayed in when I was there years ago were forced to close due to the pandemic. 赦せない.

I like to repost job offers because I was unemployed for a long time years ago, and I don't want anyone to have to go through that. Recently, I decided to make a rule of reposting requests for meetups, too, because I know how hard it is to make friends online and I want to make the process as easy and painless as possible for everyone.
