Input: I shat this morning.

Output: I started my day by prioritizing a critical release and streamlining my internal processes for peak performance. It’s all about consistency and maintaining a healthy flow to ensure I’m operating at my full potential. #Efficiency #MorningRoutine #Optimization

That feature speaks volumes about what's wrong with Linkedin. Nice touch.

Clicking the link with a prejudice in my mind, I found the definitions cleverly clean and easy to understand. I would be pleased to see a German version of it, just to have a good laugh.

Ok, it can create a long-lived complex codebase for a product that is extensible and scalable over the long term, but it doesn't have cool tattoos and can't fancy a matcha

Mubi can be a slightly cheaper alternative. They now provide one movie-theater ticket per week in some countries, which is a good deal if you enjoy watching films on a slightly bigger screen with slightly louder speakers.

Why do you think the shelf life is short?

Without knowing the cumulative amount of energy consumption it is not a fair comparison. If there are one billion llm sessions every day, it is still a lot of energy.
