Ouch. Take that &#%* pin out of me!

I don’t do X much these days, but I felt this should be brought to everyone’s attention. I was asking ChatGPT a question about Lexis (I’m a Westlaw guy) & this is how it responded in part. I had always suspected these AIs were human brains strung together in vats of half blood, half sodium solicilate*. This proves it. AI are PEOPLE! @elon I hope you look seriously into the “hardware” the competition is using. * classic reference to a 1960s Bill Cosby comedy routine. Too soon?

Just remember: The pellet with the poison's in the flagon with the dragon; the vessel with the pestle has the brew that is true.

I hope to see a lot more black ICE on the roads this winter.

Why are you making this about the Trump admin? Or are you saying, “Why hasn’t Trump changed everything in America in 10 months so everyone is always taken care of?” I’m so sorry for your loss. It is always a tragedy when a husband & father dies too young. You don’t give details so it is unclear what benefits your husband was receiving. If you have children, did he have life insurance? That wouldn’t be affected (& life insurance for young non-smokers is pretty cheap). Was he on disability? Was he active duty or reserve? Benefits that were paid to him directly would stop but if his death was service related there are a number of things that you can do. Again, blaming Trump if your husband didn’t have insurance is not reasonable. The same thing would have happened in 1930 or 1942 or 2009 under prior administrations. What do you want the government to do? What plans did you & your husband make in case of such tragedy? There are a number of options open to you depending on what your husband was receiving, his rate or rank, his status. Most do require you to do something, as millions of spouses have done over the millennia. Losing the breadwinner has always presented challenges. It ALWAYS brings great change. If your husband didn’t make provisions for his family, you can probably turn to your church or synagogue. The landlord or lender on your house may be of help under the circumstances. Same with credit card companies. But you have to take responsibility to find out what is available. Again, depending on the variables of your husband’s service, you may immediately be eligible for a variety of things like Dependency and Indemnity Compensation (DIC), Survivors’ Pension, health care/insurance programs for survivors like the Civilian Health and Medical Program of the Department of Veterans Affairs (CHAMPVA), Educational benefits, burial benefits, home loan guaranties, & accrued benefits. Depending again on your husband’s status you may retain commissary/exchange privileges. You actually have more available benefits than the widow & kids of a civilian husband. Without knowing more about your husband’s status, retirement, disability, active/reserve, how he died, etc., it is impossible to evaluate. Every VA regional office has a VA Survivors Benefits Coordinator. This would be where you start. I get the impression you think the government should be coming to you to smooth things out but that depends on factors you don’t disclose. If your husband died in a service-related accident or combat it will be different than if he put in his 4 years 10 years ago & was a car salesman who died of a heart attack. There are many people who can help you through this. Blaming a politician who is not responsible for anything that is happening to you & your kids online is probably not the best use of your time.

I tried, @elon, to look at “For you” in my feed but it was simply filled with ignorant leftist twaddle. Why would that be “for me?” I get enough leftist garbage in my “Following” feed. Fix the algorithm.

How dare Trump add on to the East Wing which was added on by FDR in 1942 to provide offices for Eleanor’s staff! It is SACRED! @grok Did Trump lie when he said the construction of the ballroom as part of the White House East Wing would be privately funded? @grok is Jim Acosta either misinformed or telling a deliberate lie in this post about funding for the ballroom?

She is so amazing. Best one is “Janet, where are my balls?” as trans with Alzheimer’s.

I see many videos that have realistic faces of public figures in either photorealistic or cartoon format. What software are they using? I can’t get @grok or ChatGPT to even give me a realistic image of the Burger King mascot for parody use.
