Belgium's not there either, and that's definitely in the EU.

What is sentience? If you are so certain that ChatGPT cannot ever be sentient you must have a really good definition for that term.

It's not good at making ASCII art. This, for example, is when I ask it for a realistic depiction of the Eiffel tower on fire:

                       .
                      .'.
                      |o|
                     .'o'.
                     |.-.|
                     '   '
                    /     \

Only about 18% of which is actually owned by Russia. The rest is money that happened to be in transit between private persons at an unfortunate time. Do we really think it's fair that a lady who happened to be selling her house at exactly the time the war started... should have that money donated to Ukraine's war effort?

really nice. Unfortunately once I spotted the score tells you you've hit the correct rotation, I just looped over all the squares clicking each one until my points went up.

Barbara Kingsolver - Demon Copperhead. It took me a while before it clicked that the book's title was meant to rhyme with David Copperfield. It's really well written coming-of-age story of a life lived under modern-day poverty. It's well written with clever and subtle phrases and a really good pace. The book stays with you a while after you've finished it (which in my case was fast as I couldn't stop reading). Afterwards I got to reading more about opiods and their nasty origins.

His name is Bowser, which I must admit I found somewhat amusing.
