Did you know that ChatGPT’s president was the largest donor to Trump’s superPAC - 25M$ last year.

Me in my bubble thinking that the problem is the far-right fascists/racists in their bubble or the leftist anarchists/Marxists in their bubble when the real problem is the people who are creating our bubbles

US trade deficit is $918 Bn. The $ being the intl reserve currency is worth $1 Tn. It’s not a coincidence that these numbers are similar.
If USD wasn’t the reserve currency the dollar would drop and imports would become cheaper.
We should respond to tariffs with a 1% tax on all transactions in USD

Great advice from a superbly written post : “use AI as an assistant, not an expert, and use it judiciously”.

The whole article is worth your time : https://nedbatchelder.com/blog/202503/horseless_intelligence.html

I just installed it and replaced Google maps on my home screen. However on my way home (in Berlin) it looks like some of the public transport options are missing - there is no tram (Straßenbahn) data. I checked the #organicmaps website but there’s no info about transport data sources. Anyone have any ideas about how to add these data?

I just downloaded #organicmaps app - it’s a great replacement for Google maps, and offline maps are built in by default. Stop sharing your data with advertisers and save money by using less mobile data. Thanks @noodlemaz
