A Computer Can Now Write Your College Essay — Maybe Better Than You Can

We fed ChatGPT, OpenAI’s new natural language tool, college essay questions for the 2022-2023 academic year. Here’s what it wrote.

OpenAI debuted its latest language model, called ChatGPT, to the public last week. With a simple log in, anyone can talk to the AI for free, and, unlike its predecessor InstructGPT, ChatGPT can answer follow-up questions, admit mistakes, reject inappropriate requests and challenge inaccuracies. The buzzy new AI has already inspired a flurry of articles about what it can—and can’t—do, from creating a new language for slime beings called Glorp, to detecting vulnerabilities in code, to writing a biblical verse about how to remove a peanut butter sandwich from a VCR.

FTX fraudster Sam Bankman-Fried BEGS Bahamas judge to grant him bail because he’s too ‘depressed and vegan for jail’

A Bahamian judge is allowing Sam Bankman-Fried’s parents to leave court in the middle of his arraignment hearing to retrieve anti-depressants, Adderall and Zyrtec.

Bankman-Fried is accused of one of the ‘biggest financial frauds in American history’ – defrauding investors out of $1.8billion by convincing them his trading platform FTX was safe to use.

He is begging for mercy – asking for $250,000 cash bond – and claiming he can’t be thrown in jail because he is depressed and follows a vegan diet.

Cambridge Dictionary has updated its definition of ‘woman’ to include anyone who “identifies as female” regardless of their sex at birth.

RCMP offers $100,000 reward after 10 months with no leads on violent Coastal GasLink attack

After 10 months without any leads as to who led a violent, coordinated attack on a pipeline work camp last February, the RCMP is hoping that the promise of a $100,000 reward will loosen some local tongues.

“I do believe there are people out there who know something, and I do believe this reward will entice those people,” B.C. RCMP superintendent Jim Elliott said at a Monday press conference.

If this was the work of white supremacist truckers the RCMP would have arrested everyone and have commenced sorting out their undercover agents and informants from the guilty guy.

It happened recently in the Italian town of Sora. As workers were putting up Christmas lights in the town center, a man ventured by and began screaming, “Allahu akbar.” Everyone present was terrified, contravening the American media dictum that “Allahu akbar” is an entirely benign phrase that shouldn’t worry anyone.

Canadian Disabled Man’s Euthanasia Request Due to Poverty Approved

Death is increasingly seen as the answer to a variety of woes in Canada, with its euthanasia libertinism running truly amuck. This includes veterans being offered euthanasia for PTSD and a nursing home patient lethally injected because she did not want to be isolated during a COVID lockdown. There are also cases in which people ask to die because they can’t access prompt medical care from Canada’s socialized healthcare system, and one in which death was offered to a disabled woman rather than a stairs chair lift.

The Trudeau legacy…
