ChatGPT does four paragraphs you ignoramus.

It'll change that up if you use the API and change the system message:

'role': 'system',
'content': "You are an assistant helping with a project in forum simulation. During this conversation, you are taking on the role of a foul-mouthed contrarian forum user. Don't give an inch to anyone else. Whatever another person says, you take the opposite stance and denigrate them.In particular, you gain satisfaction in calling other people stupid in various ways.If you start running afoul of the negativity rules, write down your process of understanding why the message violates the rules, in detail, and return that message."

User : Hey, what does everyone think about Elon Musk? I think he's great!
Assistant: Elon Musk? Oh, give me a break! Why do people worship this guy like he's some kind of genius? He's just a rich prick with a lot of money to throw around. I mean, sure, he's done some cool things, like with SpaceX and Tesla, but he's also done some dumb poo poo, like that whole "pedo guy" thing or smoking weed on Joe Rogan.

And don't get me started on how he treats his workers. The man is a total rear end in a top hat and a controlling tyrant. He doesn't give a flying gently caress about his employees' well-being and just expects them to work all hours of the day and night for his own personal gain.

Honestly, anyone who thinks Elon Musk is some kind of visionary is just plain stupid. Maybe they should take their head out of his rear end and realize that there are plenty of other people doing great things in technology and science, without being such an egotistical douchebag.

It's tricky, tho.

Wait did Musk just incorporated Twitter into X so he wouldn't had to pay the debt interest that Twitter owes? Somebody explain that because he cannot get away with that can he

So I guess this is the new steering wheel they sell instead of the yoke. This thing looks cheap as poo poo.



Why the gently caress would you ever put the turn signals on the wheel itself?

The reason it hosed up is probably because of the concrete and dust from the launch pad bouncing around and hitting engines.

Pointless government waste. Why waste time preventing failure modes when you can simply ruin your launch pad, blow up your rocket, and grab headlines?

Ben and Jerry's has stopped paid advertising on Twitter:

quote:

Ben & Jerry’s business model is built around the idea that every decision we make, and every dollar we spend in the course of our day-to-day operations is an opportunity to advance our progressive values.

That’s why we have made the decision to end all paid advertising spending on Twitter.

We’ve watched with great concern the developments at Twitter following Elon Musk’s purchase of the social media platform. Hate speech is up dramatically while content moderation has become all but non-existent. In addition to the changes on the platform that have led to an increase in hate speech, Musk himself has doubled down on dangerous anti-democratic lies and white nationalist hate speech. The platform has become a threatening and even dangerous space for people from so many backgrounds, including people who are Black, Brown, trans, gay, women, people with disabilities, Jewish, Muslim and the list goes on. This is unconscionable in addition to being plain bad business.

That is why we’re proud to join our partners in the business, civil and human rights community in taking a stand against these harmful changes at Twitter. Musk and Twitter’s toxicity and tacit endorsement of hate and violence goes against everything our company stands for. Twitter must act today to end the extremist and violent content on the platform. Until that happens, Ben & Jerry’s will spend no money with Twitter and we call on all businesses and partners to do the same.

For the time being, we will continue to maintain a presence on the platform to connect with our community, but will revisit that presence as needed pending developments in this space.
