@andymoose @FuturisticRobert the closest to "excitement" I've experienced was when #Valve did a #Trifecta of new #devices without any mention of "#AI" but instead outlying with the #SteamMachine:

'You own this thing. Do whatever you want with it!'

• Completely blowing even the original #OtherOS for #PS3 out of the water...

And that is saddening!

@maskedscheduler There’s two such clauses actually. One for foreign bribes. One for domestic.

Fun fact: The only other crime specifically called out in the Constitution itself is Insurrection.

crank | dodo | eccentric | fellow | galoot | miser

😸 OK, I'm probably most of those, except a miser.

The word "galoot" was new to me. <https://www.dictionary.com/browse/galoot#example-sentences> led to a 'Godzilla vs. Kong' review in The Washington Post, which I can not read. Instead, the sponsorship invites me to use Comet Browser, which was also new to me. <https://www.perplexity.ai/hub/blog/announcing-comet-plus-launch-partners> launch partners, et cetera. <https://www.perplexity.ai/hub/blog/comet-is-now-available-to-everyone-worldwide> two weeks ago:

"Today we are releasing the Comet browser to the world, for free."

Yeah, right /s ‖ <https://www.perplexity.ai/download-comet> "requires an invitation | Comet download is not available to you yet | Join waitlist | Get immediate access to Comet when you upgrade to Pro. | $20.00 USD / month"

Erm, no thanks ‖ you've got to be fucking kidding me.
