For all its faults, ChatGPT “does a pretty good job” responding to customer complaints, Natasha said.
“One [response] was much better than what I would have done,” she said. But “it has to be checked ...you have to read through it.”
Oh yeah, the middle of a mess is what every dream vacation is all about.They might as well just say "come here, gimme all your gelt, now go home."

The same country that put kids in prison for dancing with opposite sex has now given visa to an American porn star, without having her go through the "usual" entry interview that they subject visiting foreign citizens, specially Americans.
It's a height of hypocrisy of the mullahs in Iran to give free entry and access to a porn star who is a vocal critic of Israeli occupation.
It's really really really unbelievable. I have no problem for her doing what ever she wants, but it makes me sick to see the mullahs to make such unbelievable "exception" wheb they have killed scores of Iranian women in the past for much less "questionable moral" acts

De gestroomlijnde wereld (1936)
Boekje uit 1936:
Leonhard Huizinga (1945)
DE GESTROOMLIJNDE WERELD
Vliegtuigen, treinen, auto’s en schepen razen over het aangezicht der aarde, sneller en sneller. Van Amsterdam naar Parijs is maar een stap, naar Stamboel een weekend en naar Melbourne een vacantiereisje.
En daarom, als ge reizen wilt, wacht dan niet langer maar reis nu! Morgen zullen er geen afstanden meer zijn. Dan zal alles, wat vandaag nog onbereikbaar en begeerlijk is, nabij en waardeloos zijn!”
Reis nu, want wat vandaag het doel van een ontdekkingsreis is, zal morgen een halte zijn aan de buslijn, die langs Uw huis loopt!
Wat vandaag Uw bivak is in het land waar geen land meer achter is, zal morgen het golfterrein van het Grand Hôtel wezen!
Wat vandaag een trotsche nomadenstam is, zal morgen een stakende vakvereniging op een petroleumveld zijn!
Reis nu, Voor het te laat is! Morgen zullen de tropen luchtgekoeld, de poolstreken centraal verwarmd en de woestijnen van stroomend water voorzien zijn!
Wacht niet tot de Gobi als bouwterrein wordt verkaveld!
Wacht niet tot de Alpen in werkverschaffing worden geslecht!
Wacht niet tot de golfstroom koud en warm water kan geven naar wensch!
Neen, wacht niet, want ik zeg U, de dag zal komen dat de mensch niets meer te veroveren zal hebben. Hij zal eb en vloed, onweer en aardbeving, dag en nacht hebben onderworpen. En dan zal hij doelloos over de getemde aarde razen en ondergaan, omdat hij niets meer te wenschen heeft!
En daarom, reis nu! Het is al bijna te laat. Grammofoon, bioscoop en radio zult ge nauwelijks meer kunnen ontvluchten. Ge zult Hindemith hooren in het Braziliaansche oerwoud, ge zult Greta Garbo zien in een blokhut aan de Hudsonbaai en ge zult de triomfen van Ajax vernemen in een karavaanserai in Afghanistan!
Haast U daarom! Misschien vindt ge nog een land, waar in plaats van Hindemith, Garbo en Ajax de Goddelijke stilte heerscht, die het begin en het eind der dingen is.
Maar haast U, want morgen zal men de aarde stroomlijnen om haar sneller door het heelal te laten schieten! ….
