@3blue1brown They are slowly lobotomising ChatGPT to not do this. :( But you've got further than I did. I noticed these limitations and stopped trying to push against them in general. Really messes up a lot of (unrelated math even) outputs when it suddenly goes "I can't add 2+2 Dave."

@Falastiniyye This is sadly the western world. We want to hear what we want to hear. (Though this is also true on the other side of the world's extreme, where we are forced to say what they want us to say. Just cultures seem to move to the two extremes. Hope you/we find the balance!)

I would say, as a #ExJW my leaving was like an onion. Many many layers were slowly taken down. There are one or two big moments. But it was more gradual than sudden. I guess it's not true for everyone? #ExMo also mention "broke the shelf", but is it sometimes gradual?

Do you know what I hate the most about being a JW? I had so many opportunities to have friends and relationships that I turned down because "worldly" or I was confused by being in a cult. Now I'm out I have zero opportunities to have even a single friend. Successful failure...
