We should just talk about Sam Alman sexing with chat GPT. Basically Sam said specifically they're going to allow people to make erotica with chat GPT. People had a lot of thoughts about this and then Sam went on X to clarify this. This was uh I believe Wednesday and he gave this long you know response about how for young people particularly teenagers they're prioritizing safety over privacy and freedom. And that was the phrase he used and that they're also trying to be very careful about mental health. But ...

You think the Pixel Watch right now is better than the Apple Watch. It is more interesting. It is.That's not what I asked. It's almost on par. Okay.In some ways, it's not, but it almost is. Uh the fact that it has Fitbit integration and Fitbit does health in a way that is smarter. Okay.Workout Buddy, it's fine, but they are coming out with an AI coach where the the look that I got beforehand truly left me sitting there going like, if they can pull this off, this is major. I actually think there is a real ca ...

the Pixel Watch 2. I woke up one morning and it was scratched to hell and back. You can look at our Pixel Watch 2 review to see the damage that was done.It was so bad that when I texted the picture to Google, they sent people to my house to pick up the watch and they were like, "We must investigate what happened to this.

Affordable mechanical keyboards ASMR review. First up, the Toyota Corolla of keyboards. The Keyron V1 Max.Great features, nice typing feel, but the plastic case feels a little cheap compared to other metal boards. The Wob Key Rainy 75 Pro. The raindrops on a window board.Beloved on Tik Tok. Oh, so satisfying when it comes to typing, feel, and sound. My personal Epomaker P75.This thing only cost me 80 bucks when I got it. It's a crisp but poppy sounding beast of a budget aluminum board. Chili ND75 LP.Great l ...

2005 was the year instant messaging as a whole became like a mainstream thing.
