What is a single thing about Twitter that has gotten better? Selling my Tesla for an electric Mustang was the best choice I've made in a while.

I don't give really a shit about him, but from the dropoff in Twitter's usage and value to production and publicity issues at Tesla and cutting off the Ukraine army's access to Starlink, it seems there's, well, a lot to hate about him. And like he might not be that good at his job.

The recent Dungeons and Dragons does something similar well. Independence Day is a classic in that vein. Many/most superhero movies follow that formula as well.

A different scale, but a lot of sports movies have a similarly satisfying underdog/comeback story.

Yes, the internet is much bigger than it was in 2003, and it needs more complex protective tools. The fact that you haven't noticed cloudflare when it is working is a sign that it is, well, working.

And the fact that your favorite sites aren't down more often is yet another sign. Downtime due to DDOS attacks alone would be so much greater without cloudflare than downtime due to cloudflare currently is. Your perspective is a pure lack of knowledge and an excess of confirmation bias.

Even as a homophone, I don't want the word phlegm associated with my salty snacks.

Don't call me homophonobic though, I support phonemes of all stars, stripes, and identities.

As someone who works in content marketing, this is already untrue at the current quality of LLMs. It still requires a LOT of human oversight, which obviously it was not given in this example, but a good writer paired with knowledgeable use of LLMs is already significantly better than a good content writer alone.

Some examples are writing outside of a person's subject expertise at a relatively basic level. This used to take hours or days of entirely self-directed research on a given topic, even if the ultimate article was going to be written for beginners and therefore in broad strokes. With diligent fact-checking and ChatGPT alone, the whole process, including final copy, takes maybe 4 hours.

It's also an enormously useful research tool. Rather than poring over research journals, you can ask LLMs with academic plug-ins to give a list of studies that fit very specific criteria and link to full texts. Sometimes it misfires, of course, hence the need for a good writer still, but on average this can cut hours from journalistic and review pieces without harming (often improving) quality.

All the time writers save by having AI do legwork is then time they can instead spend improving the actual prose and content of an article, post, whatever it is. The folks I know who were hired as writers because they love writing and have incredible commitment to quality are actually happier now using AI and being more "productive" because it deals mostly with the shittiest parts of writing to a deadline and leaves the rest to the human.

An important note about this as an average--some hospitals have incredibly low hospital-acquired infection rates, and others are shockingly high. A HUGE factor is just how nice the facilities are and how well-trained the doctors are, which is why there are 3rd parties that evaluate as much for hospitals each year. Do your research and know where to go in your area that has scored highest on quality of care investigations!

Thank you I am glad it's clear

Yeah, the commenter considers himself a legend, but he doesn't get the joke in the image. It's funny because his comment is unexpected as a response to the original poster's caption.

True if sealed, I meant the type of kool-ade you mix yourself, which gets gross after not very long. With this wrapped in paper, I'm doubting it's air tight.
