    My Skynet Moment

    Many people shared the same concern, but personally I don't think so. Simply no matter how AI outperform to human, they simply don't have soul, which is what distinguish us apart from AI or anything else. It might sounds crazy, but if you believe those little grey aliens from Alpha Centauri...

    My Skynet Moment

    Depending on how you train the AI. ChatGPT now has a weird project called 'Monday', you can chat with her, but she is designed as your mean 'ex'. So I was wondering if somehow you triggered that with Gemini. Overall I think AI are pretty safe, they're not outsmart yet.

    Miracle in Microcenter

    That's very sweet, yeah I would see it as a miracle of kindness. Seven months so far, I feel like people in Buenos Aires are more like people in Europe, cold attitude but some of them are kind enough to trust. After all, it is a big city.

    Best way to pay now?

    Western union for cash, everything else with your foreign credit card, prefer the one with travel reward so you can get some points back. Four weeks is short amount of time, so it should be fine.
