CBD products don’t ease pain and are potentially harmful.  Well, well, CBD doesn't really lessen pain, and it may be harmful as well. And everyone was convinced that CBD was beneficial. Power of the placebo, is what it was.

Oh-oh. Now that people have played around with chatbots, they're realizing that chatbots aren't really as accurate and trustworthy as it seemed. They were just really good and imitating coherent speech. But you had to double check their work. And they would hallucinate. I think people haven't learned how to use them. What you prompt them with is critical. But many of the ChatBots refuse to answer questions that might go against the left's narrative. Only Grok answered all questions. The others refused.
NYC's AI Chatboot tells you to break the law. Why not, breaking the law is OK in NYC anyway.

Did you know that the NIH held the patents for the mRNA vax? And you thought it was all the geniuses at BioNTech, Pfizer and Moderna. No it was developed by the DoD, and licensed to the pharmaceutical companies. This is why they wanted everyone to get the jab. See it now? Now they want BioNTech to pay up, and they can't. Even Novavax has to pay $80 million/year until 2028 to Gavi, and no one is even using their product anymore. Womp, womp.

Ah, I remember when McCormick and Schmick's was one of Portland's top seafood restaurants. Now they've closed all their Portland locations, and is only in Tigard. Portland can't have nice things anymore.

Biden wants every federal agency to have an AI chief. Why not just have one to oversee everybody. Now you have a multitude of conflicting policy and an expansion of the government. Just what we need – more government. Here'a an example: Even The Most Well-Meaning Internet Regulations Can Cause Real Harm. You don't need more well-meaning but dumb politicians making life more difficult with their ill-thought out legislation.

The Unintended Consequences of Academic Leniency. Guess what, grade inflation only encouraged truancy. You can't get something for nothing, I guess.

This could come in handy. An AI tool can give you an approximate geographical location of an image. Like a geo-guesser.
