His hair, skin, & scales shine iridescent colors. Her blue dress & hair features ceremonial gold armor bits. Both hold a cup in their other hand, with dichotomic night/light magic swirling out to form the caduceus. The standing mirror is vaguely cup-shaped with a winged lion design at the top. These symbols all refer to the Rider-Waite Smith tarot card, Two of Cups.

OpenAI has started to hire junior software engineers, and it's working great for them.
This comes from me talking with Sulman Choudhry (Head of ChatGPT Engineering). They've started calling them "super juniors" because of the impact they are having newsletter.pragmaticengineer.com/p/san-franci...
I told him that I was born in Russia and was a writer. He showed me a list heβd written of his favourite desserts in the city. It was a sober hobby heβd started during the pandemic, going to restaurants by himself, sampling sweets. He made a lot of lists, he said, most of them food-related. I asked what other kinds he made. βLists of lies liberal white women tell about Donald Trump,β he replied. Suddenly, his leg was shaking. He grabbed the edges of the table and raised his voice: βWhite, liberal women are a plague on our society.β He proceeded to drink 11 iced coffees.
