Regarding the introduction to this essay..

Isn't some of the magic of being an agent in this world taken away when you are following a set of instructions to a T?

Unable to make decisions for yourself without consulting your "virtual assistant" about something as trivial as if you can use y milk in place of x milk seems like a sad reality to me

> We are a company that promotes openness and transparency, both in the world at large and here internally at Facebook.

The irony of these two statements being separated by three paragraphs made me lol

Unfortunately I am a noob and even after googling I don't really understand the connection. Could you enlighten me?

Apple is the undisputed king of never putting actual benchmarks in their info-graphs
I'm unsure if it is running as good as before. I have noticed more issues over the past week than I ever have using Twit.

Particularly, a nasty bug that keeps the timeline refreshing while scrolling and is constantly moving content around on the screen.

Curious if anyone else has run into something similar.

Over these last couple quarters in school I have consistently put some of my homework questions into GPT-3. Actually cancelled my Chegg (boooooo) subscription because of it.

All i could think of while looking at this was having to tell Siri where every comma and period should go while texting with it.

"insert curly brace", "insert semicolon", "insert insertion", etc. does not sound to fun.

Great idea, but wow the background on the website is SO unbelievably annoying
They surveyed "more than 200 hospital registered nurses based in the U.S.". Does this small of a sample size truly reflect the feelings of the ~2.4 million (2019) registered RN's in the US?

That is 0.00008 % of all RN's in the US.

The vast expanses of text with no formatting rules always makes it hard for me to follow along. Added some simple rules that make it much easier to read.

p { maxwidth: 1000px, text-align: center, margin-left: auto, margin-right: auto }

body { text-align: center }

MUCH easier (code snippets = toast)
