• 20-200x faster
• 40-400x cheaper (w/ output tokens free)

I’ve heard people say so many times that deities and spirituality and religion were invented first to explain things that previous civilizations cannot explain
What if it wasn’t invented and it’s just a core part of how healthy human brains see the world, what makes people happy

Unpopular (gen z) opinion: I wish everyone still used Facebook
Where else can you find a single platform for all your friends, photos, events, groups, life updates, messages, birthday reminders, free & for sale, memes, etc. Social media peaked in 2011-2016 /-:

You want to fix policing? Remove their immunity so that they can be sued, and if you win, damages come out of the department's pension fund instead of from taxpayers.
They'll clean house on their own. Quickly.

There's a big narrative in the self-help space that wherever you go, there you are, but sometimes the new job or new place or whatever major life change you've been putting off will really make you a lot happier.

A friend asked how to get into a creative state. If you’re breathing, there is no uncreative state. You’re creating reality right now. There’s a method to alchemizing an artwork but it’s available in every moment. The biggest trick of all is to know it’s here right now

The WSJ's revelation of internal reports that showed the harm of Facebook's VIP profile program and the negative effect of Instagram on teens reveal a core truth about FB: people inside the company document and articulate the problems but they really struggle to affect change

I get it now. Ted and Heidi Cruz wanted their children to be safe, to have basic sanitary services like heat and running water, to leave behind a third-world apocalyptic nightmare for a safer place. Like so many parents before them, they decided to cross the Mexican border.

Why does it feel like when the republicans have the majority the democratic minority has no power and when the republicans are in the minority the democratic majority has no power?

Steve Bannon is getting a pardon from Trump after defrauding Trump’s own supporters into paying for a wall that Trump promised Mexico would pay for.
And if that all sounds crazy, that’s because it is.
Thank God we have only 12 more hours of this den of thieves.
Breaking News: President Trump pardoned Steve Bannon, the former White House chief strategist who was charged with defrauding people. The pardon was described as a pre-emptive move that would effectively wipe away the charges if Bannon was convicted.
