    Well, I don't think any of these things are legally required, so call it whatever you want.

    It's wild ChatGPT doesn't let you use MCP properly (only really works without a useless developer mode thing in Codex, and Claude it works fine).

    Slavery was about racism and power and control, not economics. Slavery is bad for the economy! https://www.nber.org/papers/w31758 https://www.noahpinion.blog/p/nations-dont-get-ric…

    Making things up is only really a common issue on the non-thinking models which nobody should be using. The regular chatbots are Autogooglers and are very useful for research. This…
