Which came first though?

My Hisense got worse in some ways after an update, support provided a file to get the previous firmware back and told me to disable updates. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Who?

What a convoluted way to tell someone that you can’t counter their argument.

Let me give you a different starting point: why would it be better if the collapse/downfall of the USA happened more slowly?

It’s the lesser evil in this case.

most of the proofs ChatGPT 5 has given me are plain incorrect, despite OpenSlop’s claims that it is vastly superior to previous models

Both of those can be true.

It would be easy to fork and rename it. Just keep pulling the updates to keep it current and don’t change anything else. Wouldn’t be surprised if that took off.

Perhaps too close of a friend to mention in something like this.

This George Carlin quote comes to mind:

Now, if you think you do have rights, I have one last assignment for ya. Next time you’re at the computer get on the Internet, go to Wikipedia. When you get to Wikipedia, in the search field for Wikipedia, i want to type in, “Japanese-Americans 1942” and you’ll find out all about your precious fucking rights. Alright. You know about it.

In 1942 there were 110,000 Japanese-American citizens, in good standing, law abiding people, who were thrown into internment camps simply because their parents were born in the wrong country. That’s all they did wrong. They had no right to a lawyer, no right to a fair trial, no right to a jury of their peers, no right to due process of any kind. The only right they had was…right this way! Into the internment camps.

Just when these American citizens needed their rights the most…their government took them away. and rights aren’t rights if someone can take em away. They’re priveledges. That’s all we’ve ever had in this country is a bill of TEMPORARY priviledges; and if you read the news, even badly, you know the list get’s shorter, and shorter, and shorter.
