The most important servers are in super-secure bunkers behind a thousand various security systems including sophisticated anti-fire systems. Assuming an employee manages to disable the security systems and manages to destroy the servers, it would cause a lot of damage, but there would be several backups in even more secure places.

In an online demonstration, OpenAI President Greg Brockman showed GPT-4 creating a real website based on a hand-drawn mock-up.

OpenAI said the update is able to pass the bar exam for prospective lawyers with a score in the top 10 percent of applicants, compared with the bottom 10 percent of test-takers previously.

The chatbot can also beat 90 percent of humans who take the evidence-based reading and writing section of the Scholastic Assessment Test and the verbal section of the Graduate Record Examination used for admission to postgraduate education, OpenAI said.

We're in deep shit

It should be important emphasise not ruling, but in the most radical circles (including anarchists) there are the most sneaky forms of government.
With those who do not want to rule it makes sense to emphasise not ruling, why would I want to rule over a cow or an oak tree? So I try my best not to rule over other animals and wild.
But in the midst of people who think only on ruling (anarchists included), the only thing to do is to become ungovernable. They will never stop trying to rule.

As for me, when I want to break my solitude, I prefer to go and seek my comrades, elsewhere, among the thieves of fire, the revilers of public authority, the walking dreamers, ........................... ...... the polishers of the stars, the lone wolves who feed on the Golden Fleece, the drunkards of the absolute

The best I've been able to track down are a couple of crappy heroin addicts....
And the communities i found are even worse even without heroin

With the first warm weather so many plants are growing much better than I expected both cultivated and wild. Maybe in the future I will give a more in-depth report, now I will reassure:

The chickpeas(cicer) have also survived the winter and are growing well, whereas the Lathyrus sativus despite its reputation as the hardiest legume of all I think has failed.

On the wild ones: There is some wild lentil that might prove interesting, and I found a type of wild oat (I don't know the name) that has already made seeds that could be very interesting in terms of its ability to avoid drought

Emotionally I feel like shit, as usual my trust on people is very low, plus yesterday I recalled traumas from when I was little, that is my father (recently died) beating my mother, and these memories from a long time ago add up to all the current concrete issues including precisely the problematic relationship with my mother, how terrible the family dynamics were (and still are) during during the death of my father who died of cancer about 2 years ago and... And it's not just the family, everything else sucks a lot too....

Thank goodness that there is beautiful nature to always fill me with joy

I cannot count them, I catagorize just the few plants that particularly intrigue me.
Except for a couple of plants that I consider too poisonous I eat everything else that comes in front me.
So if I have to, I have an easier time counting the poisonous plants I know, since I eat everything else.
Also, should very similar plants in the same family be counted separately? What about subspecies of the same species?

For me the line between edible and poisonous is also very blurred.
I usually ingest plants that are not even considered "god to eat" by people in the area.

However, most of them I eat very few of them, are actually few the plants (or fruits, seeds...) that I am able to eat in "large" quantities.
Still less the plants that are caloric enough to satiate me

Little story: Once I found very small and tasty berries after eating about 20 berries, I search on internet and read "European mistletoe is potentially fatal, in a concentrated form, and people can become seriously ill from eating the berries" but they didn't do anything to me and I continued to eat them in moderation Even today.

It still makes a lot of sense to create "forest" areas even in the middle of the savanna to still create oases of biodiversity, but I find it reductive to say "everything in nature tends to form a forest"

Most of the legumes that I had sown are now lying under the snow, I think most of them are dead, even the broad beans that should be cold-hardy with the abnormally warm weather a few weeks ago have blossomed and I think most of them will die since they are bent under the snow. Fuck it, I guess horticulture is not for me, thank goodness that the woods always gives me so many good things.
