    Idk about sold. But it’s loaded on all the windows machines in a fairly big company that solves a real world problem. It allows us to apply custom ACLs to AI agents and the child p…

    It’s fairly silly to work at Amazon if you don’t like data centers. And also stupid for Amazon to employ you if you don’t like data center and are actively making efforts in your f…

    Your company might fail then. Because I won’t be fighting to work at your company, I’ll just compete with your company and get paid what I deserve. We already have CEOs is vendors …

    This. We don’t have a housing problem. We have a “I want to live here problem.” And if we could snap our fingers and everybody in the world who wanted to live in NY could, it would…

    Wtf. I use OpenAI for all my shopping now. How to match clothing and finding things I have seen. ChatGPT has helped me with all the wired social things I have no clue about. Like h…

    I use eat. So far it’s been the best one. But I did have to fix a few bugs, and add kkp support to it. It’s not the fastest but it gets the job done.
