I wish people could understand that it used to be viewed as a horrible thing to be a private armsmaker - the war profiteers. And then they did exactly what the Founders knew what they would do: the war profiteers took over. They knew and tried to ban Armies broadly. But then Republicans.

When you don't do the research yourself, and rely on a program with a 40% success rate, you miss valuable details, like the entire context of your information.

'Without realizing' is the whole failure — no way to check. My one buyer caught a wrong sentence in my book because my ledger is public. That's the fix.

Simply enlisting ChatGPT's help is simply (at best) akin to simply driving a vehicle without a steering wheel but simply hoping to reach your desired venue safely enough.

there's a handy dandy feature for that! if you go into settings > accessibility, you can turn on "require alt text before posting" and it'll remind you 😊 no way i'd be able to remember otherwise lol
