On stackoverflow you get your answer in days, if at all. With GPT you get it in seconds. It’s better in that sense.

I’m not a big fan of his super app idea, but on the other hand the Twitter changes are quite interesting to look at. I suspect a lot of businesses dogma these days is to some extent bullshit, which nevertheless keeps repeating itself because no-one is willing to put their money or career on the line to test it. Well Musk just did. You think that these changes will end Twitter. Now what if they don’t? Should we then concede that "brand value" is not a real thing, at least to the extent it is assumed to be, and that it’s all just the network effect all the way down?
As a casual Twitter user, I noticed the new logo today in the app, and found that I didn’t care in the slightest about how it looks like. Are all (most of?) the users like that? We’ll see.

You might say: "Well, I don't care about anti-Putin Russians, unfortunate pro-Putin Russians who became victims of the regime, neutral Russians, Ukrainians, Uighurs, Tibetans, Taiwanese, ... all I care is that my children don't get castrated and turned into trannies". Fair enough. But then please don't take a high moral ground. You are just as evil as "elites".
I’d say letting your children get castrated so that someone somewhere might be saved from some kind of oppression (real or perceived), is a pretty cucked choice.

You can't have infinite growth on a finite planet.
The assumption here is that we are approaching the growth limit, while in reality we’re nowhere close to depleting the resources especially considering the possible technological advances. The current population was thought to be unsustainable pre-green revolution.
The decline in the standards of living, the cost disease, etc. is essentially artificial and caused by the nature of the modern regulatory state.
For millenia people somehow managed to have multiple children, without having access to the modern technology — no washing machines, no diapers, no microwaves, no medicine, no agricultural machines that allow us to grow food on massive scale, no nothing — yet they somehow did that through wars, famines, plagues to this day; and somehow the modern western people fail to do that becase children are "expensive", despite that not a single thing related to raising children should be expensive given the capabilities of modernity.

Well was the meaning carried across in the OP post?
It seems to me that the word "barbarian" usually evokes a different meaning in modern culture, more in spirit of what @FirmWeird suggests. Books, movies, video games seem to have reformed the "barbarian" label into a somewhat high-status designation; a "noble savage" archetype of sorts.

Yeah, all the biological stuff is besides the point. Gametes, chromosomes, whatever… I can tell a man from a woman without sampling his DNA.

ChatGPT unlike a human is not inherently capable of discerning what it does or doesnt know. By filtering out low confidence answers, you’d be trading away something it’s really good at — suggesting ideas for solving hard problems without flinching, for something that it’s not going to do well anyway. Just double-check the answers.

As a heavy ChatGPT user, I don’t want it to ever say "I don’t know". I want it to produce the best answer it’s capable of, and then I’ll sanity check the answer anyway.
Risking your life for women and children is not the same as risking your life for idiots.
That said, I’d pick the blue.
