I have used it for aggregating content, summarizing it and offering recommended actions. It is most powerful when combined with other tools (BPA and BA, for example). I use copilot, which can commect to other Microsoft products pretty well (my clients use them).

I love this quote about the breakdown of obligations in America. It’s not a direction I want to go, but it does seem to be the direction we are headed:

In America, everyone does whatever they want, society did break down, it’s terrible, and it’s great!

It’s the perfect system!

I mean, they tried to enshrine what they believed to be inherent into law. It is literally the opening of the declaration of independence:

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

It is a philosophical debate that continues to this day. But most philophies think there are some obligations somewhere. There’s even a whole Tav show dedicated to the discussion (the Good Place).

I’m extatic to report that my highschool German is finally being used.
