It's funny you say that because there was a 'hack' for chatgpt where you could ask it something like how to build a bomb and it would refuse. But when you added TLDR it would do it.

Is it? Because when you build a bot and just scrape Reddit I don't think you can just use the content to train AI, just like the New York Times. The API change was definitely to sell more ads and get a higher IPO, but I don't think it was because of AI.

It's not even that simple, because paying can be done with money, but you can also send troops, or have troops ready to protect other countries, send equipment, etc.

So it's not that black and white who pays what.

Also I think the biggest think Trump did to NATO for the EU, is that for the first time people actually realized the US isn't always the allie we thought. It really depends on who's president, something before Trump most people never thought about. It also really pushed the point of having an European army and other changes like that.

In the Netherlands you pay a road tax every 3 months. The amount is based on weight (because a heavier car does more damage to a road) but also on eco label. So an electric car that has the best eco label can have less tax than an old (but much lighter) diesel car.

This is just the lastest thing, it used to be the old IT guys and the ones with a beard, long hair and a metal shirt.

I don't think time doesn't have meaning with a system like the beats system. It's just that the meaning is more personal. For you 600 beats is dinnertime and for me it's the moment the alarm clock wakes me up.

Dinner is still at 600 for you and your entire city or country or state (depending on how big your country is).

But for larger countries it can be that most stores close at 600 but some open earlier and close at 550 or something.

At this moment we have a system that also can be pretty confusing. Like when you have a meeting with people in different timezones. Oh we meet at 14:30? Like our 14:30 or yours? Or when you do stuff with computer systems and 2 servers are in different timezones, it's a nightmare

Actually it's not that difficult, as you can see on the wiki page time is shown in

@392.51

So yeah there are fractions.

Also I don't really see the problem without timezones, so if it's @451 maybe that is night for you and morning for me.

It would actually make traveling easier, because you will immediately see what time it is for your family at home.

Instead of the hours at a place being the same (like 19:20 is in the evening for everyone), now we keep the time the same but we have different experiences at certain beats.

I like that example, everytime you hear about some discovery that x kills 100% of cancer cells in a petri dish. You always have to think, so does bleach.
