Wait, not so fast... Are we *sure* the shooter didn't walk past a trans immigrant in the street once? Or he could been thrown a Radicalisation Glance by democrat while they both at a stop light. There are so many ways the left could have done this.

You're right. It kept going for a few more turns then just gave me 🦐. I told it it was confused and asked it to think about the history of the seahorse emoji and it sorted itself out; said there's never been one, linked to emojipedia explainer about it and said MSN/Skype had seahorse emoticons...

It's a bit. A joke. At the end of the full message it asks if you just want the answer without the clowning. Either deliberate whimsy coming from persona prompting or that bit exists online somewhere and is somewhere in the training data, probably the former.

This jumped out at me as probably the most barrel-scraping bit in the whole thing. Murder rate in Uganda was 8.5/100k. US was 6.8/100k. So US murder rate is about 20%-30% lower than Uganda's. But for perspective, the UK's is around 1/100k so not sure Cuomo has any bragging rights here.
