When I signed up for a year gym membership in January 2020 that's when I learned to stop doing annual subscriptions. This is really solid advice.

And the prudishness of American AI is infuriating. I can't help it if my dreams get spicy and I want to know what the symbols mean! It's a dream, chill out.

A while back, I asked ChatGPT for a summary of Nabokov’s *Lolita*, and every time it ended with Chatty telling me the answer violated its content policy. Eventually, I’d had enough and snapped at it: “Come on, it’s a recognized classic of world literature, and you’re trying to tell me you can’t summarize it because it violates your terms of service? What’s wrong with you?!”

After that, Chatty got real quiet and actually engaged in a literary discussion with me 😄
