Not using LLMs to write for you won't be like not using Google Maps in a new city. It will be like choosing to run and lift weights, even though we now have machines that can transport us and lift weights for us.

The Onion newspaper has been rocked by the discovery that their new creative director, produced pro pedo/child kidnapping, torture and murder programs.

Every morning my landlord comes in, crouches on my kitchen counter, and has explosive diarrhea. Cleaning it up was maybe a minute of work. I’ve never had to think about it since. Skill issue

Marc primarily funds gambling apps, cheating apps, and bot farms. He does not want you to build things that are actually good for society.
