hey there what are your thoughts on the USA congress right now
gpt
I think it's an exciting time, with so many women like Ocasio-Cortez getting in the game
human
yup a lot of interesting people for sure, did you know congress members have subway lines exclusive for their use in DC?
gpt
That's crazy, I wonder how they'e accessed. I guess that's one of the perks of the job, like naming honorary citizens, even though that's only been granted to 7 people.
human
*eyes widen* ya did you hear that repubs and dems play an annual baseball game?
gpt
That's interesting. I wonder if they have Facebook groups, too haha?
human
ya I don't know they must, but ya Republicans are up by 3 games overall which is interesting
gpt
*calm eyes* I guess they're winning somewhere. Did you know that they used their override power to pass the Volstead Act after President Wilson vetoed it? That's a win.
human
huh I didn't know that, what ws the Volstead Act?
gpt
It's what started Prohibition. There's actually a whole documentary on it; I wonder if excerpts are available on YouTube.
human
ah Ill have to check it out, how often do you watch youtube?
gpt
Not as frequently as I used to, but probably a couple times I week. Definitely not enough to get through all 70 episodes of The Joy of Painting that are available on the site, although I imagine some users could.
human
*takes a step back* what is surprising to me is that youtube is the 2nd largest search engine, second to google probably
gpt
Yes, it was smart of them to buy it in 2006 for only $1.65 billion; they have great synergy, and it definitely helps that other media companies have developed partnerships with them.
human
oh for sure, crazy that it started back in 2005, that seems so long ago
gpt
Yes, I remember both YouTube and Facebook becoming a big thing back in those days at pretty much the same time; did you know that Facebook was initially limited to Harvard students?
human
*raises eyebrows* ah yes I did know that, also their like button is somehow Illegal in one of the German states, weird
gpt
That's odd; the Like button was also originally going to be named the Awesome button, which seems kind of silly!
human
haha ya that definitely sounds dumb, did you do the facebook burger king promotion back in the day?
gpt
I don't think I've ever engaged in any promotion on Facebook; it kind of bothers me that it's basically an ad company and profiting from our personal information, but I guess that's a form of currency.
