HelloThere

In a word, yes.

Go to a hardcore show.

Surely not!

I asked ChatGPT what it thought of this:

The phrase “rats leaving a sinking ship” often conjures images of individuals abandoning a failing situation in search of safety, reflecting a natural instinct for self-preservation. In the world of tech, leadership changes can evoke similar sentiments, particularly when a high-profile figure like Mira Murati steps down as CTO. Her departure may signal deeper issues within the company, leading to speculation about its stability and future direction. Just as rats flee a deteriorating vessel, employees and stakeholders might interpret her exit as a warning sign, prompting concerns about the organization’s health and long-term viability.

Murati’s tenure as CTO brought innovation and leadership, positioning the company as a front-runner in its industry. Her decision to leave could suggest an unraveling of the strategic vision that once propelled the organization forward. This parallel highlights the instinctive reaction of those within the company; employees may feel uncertain about their future, mirroring the chaos and trepidation felt aboard a ship in distress. The fear of instability can lead to a wave of resignations, as others seek to secure their own positions before the situation worsens.

However, not every departure must be viewed through a negative lens. Just as rats leaving a sinking ship might find new, more promising environments, Murati’s exit could open doors for fresh leadership and innovative ideas. This shift might provide an opportunity for rejuvenation and growth within the company, allowing it to adapt and evolve. While the immediate reaction may be one of alarm, such transitions can also lead to renewed focus and a stronger foundation, illustrating that change—though often unsettling—can ultimately foster resilience and progress.

Emphasis mine - no shit!

Also, good luck to those enterprising rats finding a more promising environment in the, er, sea…

A 20 year deal, with no power produced until 2028?

Either MS really do know something we don’t, or this bubble has grained a layer of strontium.

Pop pop!

The lack of PsyX cards is upsetting.

We had a tremendous office culture in the 1950s.

If you were a middle class white man, sure.

The weird guy with the really ill fitting suit?

Well this is dumb as fuck.

Is that it?

Or, who.

That’s kind of you to say, thanks.

Fair enough. Enjoy your life.

What happened when you stopped being a child?

I try. I don’t always succeed.

No, I don’t think you’re going to hit someone, but you did say worse people than you are in relationships, and I was reminding you that bad people do hit women, and scare them in to never leaving. Neither of us think that is the type of relationship you want.

As I’ve said before, one day you’ll realise that your attitude contributes to - but didn’t create - your situation. Insisting you are utterly powerless keeps you in that hole.

I am not saying you need to change. What I am saying is that the negative part of your personality is drowning out all other parts. Those parts are still there, they are still as much a part of you as they always were, but you just can’t hear them.

You are not helpless, you are not broken.

When was the last time you can remember being happy? Think back, it may have been a very long time ago, what was it you were doing?

So your bar is what, not being an absolute cunt?

You’re aware that people are not typically in consentual relationships with bad people, right?

Being shit scared of your partner is not a good thing.

If it was only that, it wouldn’t be representative of reality. For me to be able to have a good relationship required a lot of change. Namely I had to accept some responsibility for my situation and stop pretending it was only other people’s fault.

A relationship is a partnership, it requires everyone involved to bring good things to it. If they don’t, it will fail.

You don’t have to be beautiful, or rich, or famous to be in a relationship, but if you aren’t nice to speak to, or be around, trustworthy, caring, considerate, etc, why would anyone want to spend their life with you?

You refuse to except your attitude and actions have contributed in any way to your situation. As a result, you will never be in a relationship.

It’s your decision. Your circumstances won’t change over night, it will take a long time and a lot of work, but if you really want to, you’re absolutely capable of it. You are not fundamentally broken and irreparable.
