Me to ChatGPT: "Can you express things in a blunt and straightforward manner? Please make your answer itself as blunt and straightforward as possible."

ChatGPT: "Yes. I can write in a blunt, straightforward style.

Example of what that means:

* Short sentences.
* No fluff.
* No unnecessary politeness or hedging.
* Clear statements.

If you want, you can tell me:

* **Always be blunt**, or
* **Be blunt only when I ask**."

This is like someone answering a question at a Congressional Hearing, ffs.

If you don't understand how ChatGPT's response is fucking hilarious, you might be part of the problem.

Me to ChatGPT: "Are you able to express something blunt and straightforward?"

ChatGPT: "Yes can be blunt and straightforward when that's what you want.
If you ask for it, I can:
Give direct opinions without sugarcoating Point out flaws or mistakes clearly Provide concise, no-nonsense advice Tell you what's likely true rather than what's pleasant still keep things respectful and accurate, butI can absolutely drop the fluff and say things plainly. If you want, you can also tel me a style like: "Brutally honest"
β€’"Straight to the point"
β€’"Blunt but constructive" What do you want me to be blunt about?"

I don't know why we take this so seriously. Both in touring its abilities and in fear of them.

Like, "emailing your boss so he isn't butthurt" is survival writing, but we conflated that with "good writing" long before GenAI. AND GUESS HOW GENAI WRITES.

Splash page for A press release about Sequel Spiral Tampons being available at Yankees Stadium

"We're proud to announce our partnership with the New York Yankees - making us the first tampon company to establish a commercial partnership and full product integration at an MLB venue.
Starting this season, Sequel dispensers will be stocked in women's restrooms throughout Yankee Stadium, offering complimentary tampons to the approximately 1.5 million women who attend games each year. Because no fan should be left without game-day protection. No matter the time of month, we've got you covered."

A lot of folks upset that MLB The Show 26 isn't a big step forward.

Look, if I can play online and strike out thinly veiled Nazis with a battery of Satchel Paige and Josh Gibson, I'm good.

I was just reminded that the Righteous Brothers once sang the lyric: "If you believe in forever, then life is just a one night stand."

Look

Say what you want about LeBron

But I remember, in 2002 and 2003 some very rational points being made about whether his High School hype was justified or even appropriate.

Somehow, he exceeded the hype

I just wanna point out that the Mayor of New York City is younger than Tommy Pickles. Like, when Rugrats premiered, the current Mayor of New York City was not born yet.

We told students for decades that they couldn't sound like humans when they write. That polished style has to matter as much as conveying information and reasoning. We told students their essays were products, not expressions.

So we shouldn't be shocked that they're using AI.

Everyone is always in their baseball era and Baja Blast era; most just don't know it yet.

This is the singularity. We did it!

I love Baja Blast. I think it's one of two perfect sodas along with Coke+Cream Soda from the freestyle machine.

I did have regular Dew a few days ago for the first time in a long time. Not great. Oh, sure the taste was fine and I didn't get ill. But the memories...being a teen male in the W-Era...

Tweet from the MLB: "Mountain Dew Baja Blast is now the official soft drink of Major League Baseball ⚾️

Mountain Dew will roll out a season-long promotion tied to the biggest home runs in the game. The "Get a Baja for a Blast" program will turn long-distance home runs into product rewards, with more details coming soon"

Where do I turn in my socialist card because I'm excited for this.

Honestly? Could they actually fill them? Do our concentration camps need to be this big?

This is merely a show of power. Showing the Xenophobes how big the dick is. ALSO it make people believe "they NEED this, so it must be a big problem."

Look, I think Juan Soto might thrive at 1st base. His 30 SB shows some sneaky athleticism and that might translate at first...even for the long haul.

I can imagine it, but only after I make believe I can't experience joy and also I can't understand value in life without referring to domination.

They have a Life Leaderboard in their heads and the dopamine doesn't flow until they believe they are defeating others below them on it.

-Second QB drafted by the Jets SB champ

Seems like that's Sheehan's, too. Googling it now, it is popular for pitchers, which makes total sense.
