(Incredibly sad tale of paranoid delusion, but this stood out: "Social media users were quick to note that ChatGPT’s answer to [his] queries takes a strikingly similar form to SCP Foundation articles, a Wikipedia-style database of fictional horror stories created by users online....In sum, one theory is that ChatGPT, which was trained on huge amounts of text sourced online, digested large amounts of SCP fiction during its creation and is now parroting it back to [him] in a way that has led him to a dark place.")

Until I started reading @mikedrucker.bsky.social 's "Good Game, No Rematch", I'd completely forgotten there was a cheat code in NBA Jam to let you play as Bill Clinton. What a time it was to be alive.

Two romance bookstores are opening up in Milwaukee within a month of one another, on the same street, just blocks away from each other.
