Does the anthropomorphizing lead us down the wrong path? No. If it were you or I who set the same agents free we'd be burned at the stake. The anthropomorphizing has no effect. Does OpenAI being considered "too big to fail" l

That doesn't make sense. If you want to take the food angle then the other serves homework. If you want to take the fraud angle then the other facilitates dietary fraud.

That's just the cost of utilizing the dating service known as college. Being able to spend recklessly and manage other people to do one's busywork is what appeals within that dating market. Nobody wants to date a broke loser, so t

That’s the job we all want to have, but it doesn’t exist. It’d be nice to say you are the lone outlier here but unless the previous comment was completely made up we know that’s not the case.
