Recent hype is that o3 solved AI web search.
But so far I've tried using it for two "hard" search problems (meaning I first tried searching manually and didn't find much). Both times it hallucinated a ton, making claims that weren't actually in the sources.
On the other hand, both times, I did ultimately find nuggets of useful information after picking through all the hallucinations. So I'm glad I used it?

Now for some theology. Since Eve was created by God from Adam's rib, she/he/they had a Y chromosome, therefore she/he/they was biologically male -- not just the first woman but also the fist trans. Her/his/their three children with Adam must have been created by cloning and thus were all male. Were it not for daughters born from Adam's affair with Lilith, the human species would have ended there, since when the couple left Eden they lost access to free health care including furthe…

Just wondering how many barbeques are cooking right now...
I've never written a novel or any other intensely-plotted work of fiction, but anyone who has read or watched it played a lot of stories can probably also recognize that some authors just aren't good at endings. They're great at setting things in motion, at keeping the twists and turns coming, at the soap opera style of drama. But they just don't have the craft necessary to tie things together into a satisfying conclusion. I imagine it's much harder than the process of getting things going out keeping them moving, since you both have to wind down all the various threads you've spun up and balance satisfaction with believability.
I just finished Girl Gone Viral by Arvin Ahmadi, and it has a bad ending. The beginning is fine, the middle has plenty of drama to keep you wanting to see what happens, but the ending is murky, unsatisfying, and manages neither veracity nor satisfaction (even discounting the biggest next step that might reasonably have been left there to make room for a sequel).
Given the other issues with the book, from poor politics, to inauthentic characters, to a techno-optimism that feels as bitter in this moment as it is far from the mark in its predictions, I can't recommended it, despite having read through to the end.

By opposing the 2% minimum wealth tax on the 1,800 French people whose net worth exceeds €100 million, after the measure was adopted by France's Assemblée nationale (lower house of Parliament), the upper house, the Sénat, has shown just how disconnected it is from the issues of our time.

It’s infuriating that every Substack email comes with a “read in app” link but it just takes you to the App Store, even if you have the app installed already. If you then tap “Open”, it just opens the app; it doesn’t take you to the specific post you were trying to read.
Yes, websites can’t tell which apps you have installed. Which is why Substack should link to the web version with a Smart App Banner. Not rocket science, but I guess that would make it too easy to avoid the app??
I'm so searchable, everything is searchable, why shouldn't it be like that?

We have low overall unemployment, only slightly above historic lows, but unemployment among college graduates between 22 and 27 at recession-like levels.
This has never happened before.❞
