Reply to OpenAI executives say releasing ChatGPT for public use was a last resort after running into multiple hurdles — and they're shocked by its popularity by steviaplath153
The business insider is making a record number of articles on ChatGPT. I wonder how much they were paid to endlessly promote this?

Reply to Dreams for the tech sector’s rout: The end of founder worship, and a reset of toxic startup values by Hrmbee
Plus regulations that protect consumers, allow items to be fixed, ensure support for products for 10 years, and demand that universal standards (like USB-C) exist. I'm tired of waiting for European regulations to be watered down for America.

Maybe not the Rockies, but the Sierra got rain and snow. The snow pack is 150-200+% of normal. The foothills have got a lot of rain. The reservoirs are starting to fill, but we will still need more rain Feb.-April to fill them.

Thank goodness! The reservoirs are starting to fill up (1/3+ now). The snowpack is 150% to 200% of normal in different part of the Sierras. The rivers are getting their fill. And the groundwater will start to replenish.
Hopefully, they can repair the broken levies, and it's sad for those that lost their lives during the rain storms.

More people did NOT vote for Trump than those that did vote and elected him President. Think of that. Yes, there often are good choices, but Trump was elected by apathy and angry voters.

But they should keep raising taxes and cost of living on the under-employed and unemployed. Exploit us to the end!

That's Star Thistle, an invasive species that has now covered the state. It's got nasty thorns. But you can pull it up easily by the base. But when you have a field of it, you just get to look at it.
The flowers are a little bit pretty. Amazing how someone made it a work of art.

Reply to The cutting-edge cellular therapies aiming to ease America's organ shortage. Major transplantation surgeries could one day become outpatient procedures. by Sariel007
The organ shortage could be solved so simply: Create an opt-out process rather than opt-in. Everyone would be considered opt-in to organ donation upon death, unless they opt-out. (Usually, it's on the driver's license in California for opting in). Then, we would have a lot of organs available.
Since no one thinks they are going to die, they don't put opt-in, and some people have religious beliefs that keep them from donating. Meanwhile, 7000 people die a year because of lack of organ donations. 3.3 million people died in the US last year. If even 10% donated organs, that would be 330,000 people, and I think 7000 organs could be found among those that are suitable.
I'd like to see 1 or 2 of our 50 states do this as a pilot project.
