Convince me that the kid in the first photo clears the entire line of kids before landing.
Right, he’s definitely at the apex and not halfway over the line!

Shame. This is a poorly made case for an important phenomenon.
> “the first thing car ads highlighted was their longevity.“
This is table stakes now for cars so it would be weird for a car company to highlight it. So in the case for cars the baseline quality expectation has significantly increased.
The case is much easier to make for fashionable items like clothes and interiors.
I’m curious what you’re asking ChatGPT to get verbatim NYT articles in the response that you then want to delete? If ChatGPT has being doing this, the default is to keep every chat, so I doubt NYT lawyers need the small portion of deleted info to find evidence if it exists.
Ofcourse if OpenAI was scanning your chat history for verbatim NYT text and editing and deleting that would be another thing, but that itself would also get noticed.

When the northeast blackout hit in 2003 in NYC I dont remember any panic. We still had house phones and they still worked in the blackout thanks to telcos being legally obligated to give a shit about reliability.
I stopped by a friends house and we then went on a walk. Some stores were open and cash was accepted. We hung out later that night and had a few beers. The sky was amazing as there was next to no light pollution. Next day was totally in the dark as well and again, no panic. More beers were enjoyed.
The choice to move to electronic everything without having to give a shit about reliability is a failure of modern government. Move fast and break society for a dollar.
2003 was over two decades ago. Most people didn’t have mobile phones let alone smart phones. I’ve been in Lisbon today and it’s surreal being 100% cut off from friends and family back home and a big relief power is back on, we’ve become very used to and reliant on seamless instant connection. Our mindsets and how we live our lives with that instant communication is totally different to 22 years ago.
Bad time to do it during what turned out to be very emotionally charged election where traditional news turns in to social media style instantaneous reporting and is inescapable. I’d also suggest 6 weeks is not long enough to fully recover. In fact in that time frame you may still be experiencing FOMO type symptoms. Would have been interesting to see how the participants faired after a year/two years.
Also fb and instagram are just two of many social media platforms, so this study doesn’t sound like a full cold turkey test.
