Thank you sir, I didn’t know the way to fix ailing welfare states was to make ChatGPT available to all.

It is truly the ultimate technofix.

I love the way these idiots keep incrementing the number on their ChatGPT fantasy as if it's a sufficient image of the future and it's going to get everyone on board. Complete failure of imagination, don't try to picture any actual use for it or anything, just make it... more.

Just wait til they figure out what number comes after 7. IOS is up to like what, 20? There's a lot of numbers they have to learn before they can compete with the big boys.

The greatest version number war of our age is between Chrome and Firefox, nowadays both of which get a major version bump around once a month. Firefox is on 125 and Chrome is on 124.

Seems ridiculous since a full version updates used to mean something
