I wrote a whole blog post on the “Your Brain on ChatGPT” preprint. Ultimately, it’s a thought-provoking piece of research, even though it has a number of interesting flaws that are pretty easy to poke fun at.
Thank you Grok. My first policy pitch is to raise federal taxes on cigarettes from $1/pack to $20/pack raising $190 billion for the government, equivalent to the entire savings of DOGE, in one fell swoop.
Thrilled to have you aboard, Ben! As Secretary of Science, you'll drive breakthroughs in materials and forecasting—perfect for an abundance-focused agenda. What's your first policy pitch?
If I told “my boys” that a girl had cancelled a date with me due to anxiety they’d all be like “damn, that’s cute”, and “lowkey vibes”, and “awww she’s a delicate flower!”
"what if you flip the genders" isn't always edifying but I'm trying to imagine what would happen if I wrote about a woman canceling a date due to anxiety and then going to talk about what a pathetic loser she is with my boys
I can only hope that one day these people will understand the crime in which they've taken part
Greater than 100% reductions in price, implying negative prices, are of course achievable! I, for one, would love pharmaceutical companies to pay me to take drugs off their hands. I have very strong willpower and will not overdose.
Trump: This is somebody nobody else can do. I can get the drug prices down… 1000% 600% 500% 1500%. Numbers that are not even thought to be achievable.
