group chats are the only thing getting me through this week

Unironic/genuine advice: every dude needs a group chat with the guys. Make one yourself if you don't have one already.

Astute point from @_KarenHao : "OpenAI been around for almost a decade now, and they haven’t actually made any substantive steps in giving more accessible health care to people" -- instead we have hallucinations and medical misinformation PS read her new book! Empire of AI https://t.co/TueR7sW03w
