I know they mean it as slur but I think it may backfire. I mean, doesn't "Reactionary Centrist" sound kinda badass? Like we could get our own motorcycle jackets and ride into town to scare the Vox staff.

There are cities that build lots of housing and where housing is cheap (green).
There are cities that build little housing and are expensive (purple).
There is no city in America that builds lots of housing and is also expensive. That giant red box is completely empty.

This was a great move on OpenAI's part (and good for Kenya!).
But it unfortunately prevented me from getting ChatGPT to speculate on how we might go about creating a horde of 2-foot-tall gonad-chomping robots.

I’ve never made it a secret that I’m not a big fan of our prime minister, but this is a powerful interview about our support of Ukraine.
Tapper: ‘Will there be at any point a limit..?’
Rutte: ‘No. We will continue doing this. (…) He cannot win.’

Scale of the new Texas green hydrogen megaplant is insane. Consumes more energy than the city of Austin. Will produce enough fuel to meet 0.1% of daily U.S. diesel demand.
