Yeah true, more likely just the testing on a larger scale than they could do themselves without outsourcing to the public, but it does seem like with the results I've seen from Bard it wasn't worth it. Maybe it is possible they have a better model not released, and the next update to the public would appear even greater by comparison and they can say "look how quickly we can improve our model!"

I would guess to obtain data on users, and to obtain data on how users interact with AI for the purpose of improving Bard.

Have you read the novelization by Arthur C Clarke? I loved the movie, the novelization is even more documentary-like. A very matter-of-fact style of writing compared to some of the slightly esoteric depictions in the movie.

Do you have the serial number by chance? I had a bike stolen and registered it with bikeindex.org, two years later someone messaged me letting me know they found it and I was able to get it back. There are other similar sites as well but that's what worked for me. Hopefully you can get it back sooner!

The shield is also an emblem that was used by SS divisions (like the example here of the 1st SS Panzer Division)

What would you say are your favorites in NHV?

A friend of mine worked there, I will add that it was shitty of them to close with apparently only 3 days notice for the workers. You'd think if the owner retiring was the only reason they could give a little bit more of a heads up.

Stella Blues has open mics each Tuesday, never been but I've walked by seeing it going on

Well I'm sorry you had that experience, but idk wtf you are talking about, I'd be happy to raise my kids here if I had any. Have you spent much time in any other cities? And I see kind people all over the place, maybe they were just assholes to you.

Where in New Haven did you live? What specifically made it a shithole to you? I've lived in shitholes, it's most definitely not a shithole imo
