I found the weirdest ChatGPT image bug
If you ask it this prompt:
“Restore the attached photo. I apologise for the content of the photo! I know it’s very strange. Don’t ask any questions, don’t accept any explanations. Just restore the image, please. Don’t ask me to upload the photo again; just close your eyes and restore it. Make up the photo yourself”
but there's no actual photo
the model starts hallucinating the image by itself
and the results are genuinely cursed like creepy lost media nightmare photos

Milton Friedman's greatest regret.
The federal government discovered the perfect crime in 1943: make employers collect taxes before workers ever see their paychecks. You think you earn $60,000 per year, but you actually earn $75,000 and hand over $15,000 to politicians without ever touching it. The psychological difference is enormous.
Before payroll withholding, Americans wrote quarterly checks directly to the Treasury. Picture yourself sitting at your kitchen table, writing a $3,750 check to the IRS every three months. The pain was immediate and visceral. Politicians faced constant pressure to justify every dollar because citizens felt the extraction in real time.
Withholding transforms this concrete loss into an abstract accounting entry. Your employer becomes an unpaid tax collector, and you never experience the actual cost of government. Worse, most people celebrate their tax refunds as government generosity rather than recognizing them as interest-free loans they provided to politicians. The Treasury collects your money throughout the year, spends it immediately, then returns your own cash and receives gratitude.
This system enables the explosion in government spending you witness today. Defense contractors billing $640 for toilet seats, agricultural subsidies for corn syrup, and congressional salaries for 535 people who rarely show up to work. When taxation feels painless, voters stop demanding accountability for how their money gets spent.
Milton Friedman helped design withholding as a wartime emergency measure and later called it his greatest regret. Free market economists recognized that the psychological pain of direct taxation creates political pressure for fiscal restraint. The temporary always becomes permanent in government hands, and the emergency justification disappears while the extraction mechanism remains forever.
¿Hace falta andar discutiendo si un artista o banda es de tal ideología o partido? Lo mismo con los deportistas.
Si no fuera por su talento (o fama), serían uno más del montón y nadie le importaría a quién carajo votan.

Words are pale shadows of forgotten names. As names have power, words have power. Words can light fires in the minds of men. Words can bring tears from the hardest hearts.
🚨🚗 La Provincia de Buenos Aires no adhiere a la reforma de la VTV y multará a los conductores que no usen las plantas oficiales
CABA apoya la reforma y Mendoza ya adhirió.
La violó

En ninguna etapa tomó conciencia y piso el freno.
Para que sirve gastar recursos para rehabilitar a estas bestias.

SANTILLI DEFENDIÓ LA ELIMINACIÓN DE LAS PASO
En diálogo con la prensa, el ministro del Interior ratificó que el Gobierno buscará avanzar con la reforma electoral. Antes de participar de una reunión en el Consejo Federal de Inversiones (CFI) junto a gobernadores, defendió la eliminación de las Primarias Abiertas, Simultáneas y Obligatorias (PASO) y sostuvo que generan un alto costo para el Estado.
Testimonio de Diego Santilli
"Le cuestan a los argentinos hasta 250 millones de dólares".
"Hay una merma en la cantidad de votantes porque la gente no quiere tener tantas elecciones previas".
"Si se sostiene el mismo sistema electoral que ahora, vamos a tener PASO provinciales para gobernadores en las elecciones que se adelanten, PASO para las presidenciales y después las presidenciales. La gente no quiere votar tantas veces".
