It's kinda true, but less exciting than the person made it sound.

gargoyle (n.)

"grotesque carved waterspout," connected to the gutter of a building to throw down water clear of the wall ... from Old French gargole

gargle (v.)

1520s, from French gargouiller "to gurgle, bubble" (14c.), from Old French gargole "throat, waterspout"

Even if it does, you just set it back up again the same way you did the first time.

It's not like they could have practiced beforehand, but I get what you mean.

You still get to use it as normal, so long as you have service. That said, I personal stick to physical SIM just to minimize any problems, but you do you.

Honestly, if I were to choose suicide, I'd go for a nitrogen slumber. Seems like a painless way to go.

This makes sense to me, actually. Letters are usually taught with false sounds, and N and K could phonetically be taught as "nuh" and "kuh" by a teacher.

AI is basically just "heuristically, sentences usually look like this, and when this word is used in this context, the next word is usually..." And so on.

There is no "thinking" behind ChatGPT, no real understanding of the topics it's provided. Just a computer that provides sentences in a way that make humans attempt to humanize it.

It's possible to change anything, the main question is the cost of doing so.

Google has already created something called Fuchsia which is reportedly very fast and potentially more secure than Android. But Google already has nearly 20 years of an existing ecosystem in Android that they would effectively be giving up because app manufacturers would have to make new apps for the new system.

They've probably ran the numbers to see how much it would cost to perform the new roll-out vs how much income it would bring, and I would guess that making such a massive change just wouldn't be worth it.
