I am so sorry, Leeann, it is absolutely awful having to say goodbye to a dog. Only those who have experienced it can understand. Deepest sympathies.

Happy Bastille Day! 🇨🇵 I'm genuinely saddened by the disgusting comments I keep hearing about this French team. Players from different backgrounds, with different stories and experiences, born in France, all proudly French. France is diversity, whether they like it or not.

"We are deploying responsibly
developed Al to liberate humanity from menial labor and usher in an era of unparalleled creativity and abundance."
SAM ALTMAN

"You ingested the entire written output of human civilization without consent, without compensation, and without credit, to build a system whose primary commercial application is eliminating the jobs of the people whose work you consumed.
You are not liberating human creativity - you are strip-mining it and selling it back at a markup while calling the theft training data."
