There is a Chatbot AI product called character.ai that has suffered a marked decline in quality since its launch as they battle their users to maintain the AI’s safety protocols (similar to chatGPT “jailbreaks”). I wonder if something similar could be happening here.

I'm concerned about becoming dependent on medications I don't need.

I'm worried that if I go to any sort of medical professional they will succumb to "if the only tool you have is a hammer, to treat everything as if it were a nail" and I will end up on some sort of meds that I don't need.

I just have this impression that 80% of people could walk into any psychiatrist's office, describe their experiences, and walk out with a prescription or three.

I'd like it if someone could convince me that these are not legitimate concerns.

I was just thinking, why don't they install a steel beam at the same height as the maximum allowed, like 11foot8?

Obviously it would be set much farther back than theirs.

'Bethesda Softworks' is the publisher for both, but ESO was made by a different studio -- 'ZeniMax Online Studios'. 'Bethesda Game Studios' is responsible for the mainline Fallout and Elder Scrolls games, including now Fallout 76. I think this is their first multiplayer title.

Yes, we also have these screens in our office elevators. They show the weather, pictures of office views better than yours, and ads. I find the brand name "Captivate" depressingly accurate since you are trapped in a box with it.

My new card from Citi doesn't even have raised numbers. You could probably still write it down manually I suppose.
