The obsequious default tone is annoying, but you can always prepend your requests with something like "You are a machine. You do not have emotions. You respond to exactly my questions, no fluff, just answers. Do not pretend to be a hum

Aseprite is free if you compile it yourself [0], and can still be used for commercial purposes if compiled this way [1]. But I recommend buying it anyway to support the project. [0]: https://github.com/aseprite/aseprite

How do you know which way the red sphere is facing? A fun experiment would be to write two prompts for "a person in the middle, a dog to their left, and a cat to their right", and have the person either facing towards or away from

Wasn't this the whole point of the Bill of Rights? Without it, some states wouldn't have ratified the Constitution. This was a concession (a weakening of federal power) made for a non-dominant political arm that nevertheless neede

I agree that it should be just as easy to suspend your account as it was to sign up, but irretrievable deletion should be harder. Companies ideally want to stop fraud at both ends, but I would be more upset if, for example, my Airbnb accoun

I'm just going to copy pattpass' response to a similar comment here, because the decision to use Chromium makes more sense with this context: What benefit does Microsoft have by using Mozilla instead? Earnest question. Electron,
