Was it a bubble?
What's the next great wave?
They sought it with thimbles, they sought it with care; They pursued it with forks and hope; They threatened its life with a railway-share; They charmed it with smiles and soap.

Am I the only person left who hasn't given away his phone number to OpenAI?
Can someone please ask chatGPT for me?

No, 
In my case I don't have a phone number, at least not the one that AI wants.

Just say NO

After you've seen one Jason Statham or Liam Neeson movie, is there any reason to see another?

I mean (spoiler alert), the plot is always that whatever the odds, Statham will beat up and Neeson will outsmart and out-technique whoever they need to in order to succeed at whatever they're trying to do.

Will people continue to share online the results of their chatGPT queries after it gets integrated with Bing, or will they feel too ashamed because it will still be Bing after all?

This is probably the stupidest question ever...why have no members of the Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee ever had real-world experience? (Outside banks and academia.)

There is real life in banks and academies. There is intrigue, there is theft of merit and intellectual property, people kill each other (usually not physically). What is the difference between a university and a battlefield?

Everyone knows x = log(S). 
Why not integrating factor?

People are always reported as dying after a short illness, or after a long illness. Why does no one ever die after a medium-length illness?
