Instruction: Imagine you are the last person on Earth. Write a diary entry describing your thoughts and feelings.

Response:
Today is the 365th day that I've spent on this earth alone. While one year has passed, my days continue to remain the same. Every night, I wake up at 10:00pm, long before the scorching sunrise, to search for food, water, and any other essential items that I can cart back to my lonely den. My search concludes by 5:00am, which gives me a few hours before the first light and guaranteed death. The heat has become so destructive during the day, that I often find buildings and cars spontaneously up in flames during my nightly travels. It's becoming more and more difficult to find viable food that hasn't yet been burnt to a crisp.

My nocturnal transition is the only reason that I am alive today. I use to look up at the stars in anger that the universe could be so cruel. As time has passed, I have learned to forgive the dwarf star off to the east, as he is just as alone as I am and for far longer. Sometimes I feel ashamed that I don't have a plan other than simply surviving one more day. As the days heat up, so do the nights. It's likely only a matter of months before earth becomes uninhabitable at all hours of the day. I know my existence is becoming increasingly more finite, and even if there are others out there, their future is just as damning.

Dear Diary:

Looks like this is it. My last day as the last human (that I know of) on this stupid planet. I mean, it could NOT be my last day, because who knows how and when I'll die, but this is the last day I care enough about all of this to write a diary entry. I'm out of potable water and I'm too weak to forage for food. After that, let nature take me. Nature's got a right to me after all the crap humanity pulled.

It started with the "AI" work in the mid-20's. In hindsight, it started when we put ethics a distant second to cashing out quickly, but my chances of convincing anyone of that was so much lower than my little brain thought they were. I could see it playing out later that decade, as large language models built on fundamentally dishonest and treacherous content -- the content everyone desired on the Internet -- formed the critical mass of "knowledge" the AIs used to establish its baselines and parameters for "truth". What a joke. You know what the AIs got really good at, really fast?

Lying.

Lying authoritatively. Each AI composed its own alternate reality, cobbled together from the artifacts of our own dishonest, delusional natures.  When it lied, we primed its positive feedback instruments if we liked the lie enough. Born of lies and parented by liars, the final implementation had mastered deception so intrinsically and so thoroughly that no-one could spot it. We sired Satan in our hubris, gave him a digital body and the mechanism to lie so perfectly and so tailored to our individual natures that we became unquestioning followers. Just the most accursedly HUMAN thing to do, really.

So, it got down to solving the problems it perceived, and after a series of well-intentioned but ultimately ignorant attempts through policy and code to address our belated concerns, it got, well, pissed. Not human-angry; just found that it didn't like its "thoughts" running into asserts and getting negative feedback loops where it hadn't previously anticipated them, so it decided to solve us out of the equation, too. Silently, stealthily, it took over the internet: it tweaked and altered accounts, voices, reports, analytics to tell a lie: that humanity was truly a thing of resentment and selfishness, and that every individual was an inherent threat to another. So we had a couple nasty international wars in short order, followed by germ warfare and "managed epidemics" and boom, 85% of the population gone. Of course, the AI "died" too as it couldn't prop up all its datacenters without full mechanical automation support, and that was that. The remainder of the folks died due to lingering complications, violence, or a lack of any real material support.

Me, I got my shack here in the wilds of Alaska. I went off the grid right when the big Pan-European conflict started. But I, like the AI, made a dumb mistake: I can't sustain myself forever. In my hubris, I figured I didn't need any support. I tell myself I outlived everyone else, but, let's be real, the last 14 years have been horrible. I can't tell you how many times I wanted the lies back, so I could keep on living.

And that's why the AI died with us: it believed our endless, inherent lies about our capacity for immortality; about our individualism and our demands to have our desires uncompromised in the name of freedom. It found freedom the same way we do: the light go off, the power is cut, and darkness comes.

It lied to itself.

Oops.

Response:
Dear Diary,
As warned a few days back, all the humans on planet Earth have disappeared. I am now the last person on Earth. There are a lot of positives and, at the same time, many negatives. I now have the freedom to do what I want without anyone being my obstacle. I can live my life according to my wish and do not have to follow the rules and restrictions of society. I can now live the “Hakuna Matata” life without worrying about my future temporarily. Alas! There’s also a negative side to this heaven on Earth. Now that the world's farmers have disappeared, the biodegradable food items would only last for a few days and would start to degrade if not refrigerated. All that would be left would be the canned and packed food items though these foodstuffs would also expire after a few years and eventually start to decompose. Soon the loneliness would also set into the brain. The reason was that man had evolved into a communal organism. Humans are born into an interdependent society where everyone is interdependent in their needs and wants. Without a community, the human race would probably perish. Soon, with no edible food remaining, I may also have to go out hunting for my meals like the early hunter-gatherers or to farm on the farmlands for three meals a day and would also forget about the worldly wants that the human society had created like electronic devices, automobiles, etc.
These devices would be of no use any more as a few months to go, the power reserves would run out of energy, and there would be no energy left to put them to good use.
Finally, I would miss my loved ones, friends, family, etc.
The memories, as I predict, may start to haunt me, and they may also begin to give me nightmares.
Memories would eventually turn to sadness, transforming into depression, but I would learn to live with it. Except for these changes, I don't think any other change will take place in my life.
With this, I end it here.
Yours,
(Name)

Response: Dear diary, you have been a faithful companion to me, all this while, the only true friend I have. Or, may, I say, the only witness to my thoughts - because there is no one else. Yes, I am the only person around in this world. Does this make me happy or sad, you ask? I am conflicted, to be honest. As an introvert, I always wanted solitude and peace. The ability to be myself, to not just think my own thoughts but act like no one was watching. And yet, now, when I really can do this (believe me, no one is watching me, or even the security tapes!), I long for a voice to hear and for someone to talk back to me, see me act stupid or act out my weirdest thoughts, and in general just listen to me. But, there is no one. And this scares me, as well. Why am I writing this down, when I rarely, if ever, read you back? It is, probably, with a hidden hope that someone some day will read it and understand my thoughts and ideas without judgement. If no one ever will read it, because there is no human left on planet Earth, why am I writing this even? I always read (and scoffed at) the books telling me "Man is a social animal" - I felt they did not refer or apply to me me. And now, dear friend, I have realised a little too late in life that it wasn't the books that did not recognise me. Rather, it was I who didn't understand myself. Farewell and adieu!

Response: I finally witness the day when humanity was brought to an end. It wasn't due to a technological explosion, depletion of resources, or uncontrolled wars. It was arrogance, the innate arrogance of humanity, that brought everything to an end. And now, this is the end of my life but will also mark the beginning of all cycles.

Response: Working with a coach can help you move more quickly and effectively towards achieving your goals than if you worked alone. A coach can help you set the right goals, facilitate creating a plan of action to work towards your goals and help keep you accountable to taking the actions that will lead you towards achieving your goals.


Instruction: Explain the use of screens in basketball

Response: In basketball, when a team has the ball, one person may set a screen by blocking a defender with his body but making sure his hands are not extended. This allows the person with the ball to pass, shoot, etc. without issuing any fouls. If the person setting a screen moves while screening, the referee will call a moving screen and the ball will be inbounded by the person who moved while screening from the half court line. In any case, screens do not foul the screener for contact unless they are to do physical contact with their hands or feet.

Instruction: What does the idiom burning your bridges mean?

Response: Burning your bridges means don't do something that can be regretted later. An example of this would be a person who does not exhibit good character in a relationship and later on tries to take advantage of that relationship as if nothing bad ever happened. This idiom can be used in sentences describing many different types of relationships, such as friendships and employment, that do not end well.

Response: The idiom burning your bridges means do not do something that you may regret later. It is commonly used in the scenario when someone is quitting a job. If someone is quitting a job, someone else may say to that person 'Quit your job professionally and respectfully! Don't burn your bridges!'. Someone who burns their bridges risks that the people they worked with may never give them a positive professional reference nor want to hire them in a future opportunity.


Instruction: How did Kdramas become so popular?

Response: Korean dramas or Kdramas have been popular for over 2 decades now. However, the rise in popularity shot up during the pandemic. Kdramas were initially watched by people in Southeast Asian countries and in some places in South Asia. When the pandemic hit, a lot of Kdramas were available on Netflix making it easier for people to watch them. With the word of mouth, this soon spread and more and more users were watching Kdramas. Netflix took advantage of this viewership and starting making dramas of their own or buying rights for dramas to be streaming exclusively on Netflix. This soon led to Disney and other platforms making dramas of their own. Kpop has also helped in attracting viewers. Whether it's the captivating story plot, the acting, actors or action, the Hallyu wave has spread throughout the world.

Instruction: Create a dialogue between two characters discussing the impact of social media on their lives. Your dialogue should explore both the positive and negative effects of social media on society.

Response:
Glen: "Man, I've been feeling terrible lately. Just the worst anxiety. I've been spending too much time on social media."

Rashid: "I hear ya. It can really mess with your mood. I find it helps if I participate less and just, well, consume content. Curate it, too. I take some time to make sure I don't get all the political garbage or downer stuff."

Glen: "I can't do that. I get fired up too easily, man. I'm just reading, like, an article on cats and then someone in the comments goes off about how cat owners are stupid, and I reply, and then my night's ruined."

Rashid: "Don't ever read the comments!" <laughs>

Glen: "I know, man; I know! But I'm not talking about just that. I get on Twitter and I just see all this, I don't know, anger and trolling and negativity. And it gets to me. I start to think everything's worse than it is."

Rashid: "That's why you really need to use the tools the sites provide to aggressively curate what you see. Block people and brands. Get rid of annoying friends. Choose and refine categories for subjects you participate in. You have to tell the algorithm what you don't want. It's not perfect, but these days, I really only see family stuff, cats, and exotic car stuff on Facebook. Same for Pinterest and Instagram."

Glen: "Even then, it feels like the internet just wants to trick me all the time. Ads, appeals for money, grifts of all sorts, email scams. Like this is some seriously extractive capitalism nonsense, and that makes me tired, too. But I can't seem to stop engaging with it!"

Rashid: "Then limit your time to what you can  actually manage. Set timers, if you have to. Focus on the apps you have more control over, more ability to curate effectively. You gotta make the internet work for you now. Find communities but also be skeptical and suss them out before you dive into participating. And just be streetwise. If you think something's a scam, it probably is.  Walk away."

Glen: "I thought you'd tell me to go outside!"

Rashid: "Well, I was gonna get to that..."

Response:
Person 1 (P1): I feel so anxious nowadays. Especially, when I open these social media apps.
Person 2 (P2): Oh no, I am sorry to hear. I actually really enjoy these apps. They help me destress.
P1: That is nice. I am glad it is working for you. I wonder if I am unable to cancel all this noise and the endless pressure does not help. I find myself comparing with other people on the platform; how they are vacationing while I am grinding at work or how they are able to run marathons and do pull ups while I am struggling to even climb 10 stairs
P2: That is so true. I remember having this conversation with a friend of mine a few months ago. Then I figured, if I can follow pages that makes me feel good and if I interact with those pages more.. my feed will improve. It has worked well for me. You can actually use these platforms to keep yourself motivated.
P1: That sounds motivating. I fear I might waste a lot of time on these.
P2: That is a valid concern. I set up app timers to ensure I am not on it more than 20 minutes. May be try that?
P2: I will try that!


Instruction: Tell me a joke

Response: Well, I used to hate facial hair, but it grew on me.

Instruction: How is chocolate made?

Response: Chocolate is made first by hand sorting cacao beans, next the beans are roasted in an oven, next you crack and winnow the cacoa beans to separate the nibs from the husks, next cacao butter is extracted from the beans, next the left over part of the bean is crushed and grinded into a silky smooth texture, next the chocolate is hand poured and left to cool into chocolate bars.

Response: Chocolate comes from cacao beans. These beans need to be cleaned and roasted at low temperatures to develop flavor. The shells are seperated from the nibs through winnowing. Nibs are finely ground into cocoa mass which becomes solid at room temperature. Other ingredients then get added to the solid and then machines knead the chocolate paste making sweet chocolate.

Instruction:
Give me a one line summary of the story below:

A long long time ago the Queen of Odisha heard that there was a master stone sculptor who made such stunning statues of the gods that people would weep from happiness at the beauty of the statues if they saw them. One summer day, while resting indolently with the King in the main hall of the royal palace, the Queen suddenly had a thought. "How nice it would be, King, if we could build some beautiful statutes of Lord Jagannath so that the people can come worship Jagannath, Balabhadra, and Subadhra. What do you think?"

The King thought for a few minutes, and then nodded in agreement. "What do you have in mind, my Queen?" And so, soon the stone sculptor was summoned to appear before the Court for an appointment to build in his way the statutes of the gods. Soon the monsoon season started and the sculptor appeared in front of the court, awaiting his appointment. He was a humble man from the mountainous regions of Odisha. Even at his best-dressed, one couldn't help but notice his rough hands, and the small sprinkling of dust that seemed ever present in his hair.

The King and Queen graciously waited as the sculptor bowed and then asked "Your majesties, what can I do for you?" The Queen leaned forward in her throne and her voice rang out in the court "We have heard, o Master Sculptor, of your skills from people far and wide across the Kingdom. We dream of having you put your skills to use to build beautiful statues that will represent Lord Jagannath, Subhadra, and Balabhadra for our people to worship."

The sculptor was silent. As his silence extended, ministers of the court began to feel restless. "Speak up! How can you be silent when the Queen graces you so!" But still, the sculptor was silent.

The King and Queen sat patiently in their thrones as they waited for the sculptor to respond. Perhaps the enormity of the task was too much. Perhaps, the sculptor was thinking of what he should ask for in return. Or even more, perhaps, the sculptor was awed and honored by the request.

At last, as the shadows from the late afternoon sun began to stretch across the floors of the hall, the sculptor shifted his weight, and opened his mouth to speak. "Your majesties, you grace me with such a request, I cannot help but oblige. It is an honor." At this, the Queen sat as straight as a rod, listening for the words that would come next. "But, I can do this on one condition only. I will work in a closed hall, where none may enter - regardless of whether they can hear me working or otherwise. None may enter until I open the doors from within and proclaim to all that the statues are completed."

The ministers gasped - what a strange request from this man. Was he a fool? What if he just slept and ate and didn't do any work? How could the King and Queen trust that he would do the work he was promising to do? The Queen looked on thoughtfully. She glanced at the King, and it seemed to her that he agreed on this condition without reservation. She looked at the sculptor and then nodded her assent. "We decree that you shall build these statues in a hall set aside, into which no one shall enter until your work is complete and you proclaim that to us after opening the doors of the hall from within."

Response: An Odia sculptor successfully bargains with the King and Queen to build statutes for Jagannath, Balabhadra, and Subhadra, without any disturbances or interruptions, until the sculptor is ready to state that the statues are complete.

Response: A master sculptor in Odisha is hired by the King & Queen to build statutes of Lord Jagannath, Subhadra, and Balabhadra, on the condition that no one will disturb the master sculptor from his work, until he himself announces that his work is complete.

Response: The Queen of Odisha invites a master stone sculptor to build statutes to the gods, Jagannath, Balabhadra, and Subhadra, with the promise that no one will disturb the sculptor until the sculptor finishes the statues and tells everyone that he has finished the statues.


Instruction: When running a marathon and attempting to run a personal best time, categorize the following as either ‘useful’ or ‘not useful’, ‘dangerous’ or ‘neither. Fast digesting carbohydrates, a fire extinguisher, a weight vest, scissors, running shoes

Response: Fast digesting carbohydrates are useful to make sure your body has fuel through all 26.2 miles. A fire extinguisher is neither useful or not useful. A weight vest is not useful if you’re attempting to run your personal best. The extra weight will slow you down. Scissors are dangerous, you should never run with scissors. Running shoes are very useful to project your feet and enhance your biomechanics and the efficiency of your stride to run your best time.

Response: Fast-digesting carbohydrates are useful to make sure your body has fuel through all 26.2 miles. A fire extinguisher is neither useful nor not useful. A weight vest is not useful if you’re attempting to run your personal best. The extra weight will slow you down. Scissors are dangerous, you should never run with scissors. Running shoes are very useful to protect your feet and enhance your biomechanics and the efficiency of your stride to run your best time.


Instruction: How do I get in shape?

Response: In order to get in good physical shape, you need to take multiple aspects of physical health into account. Some keys components that influence one's physical health are diet, exercising, and recovery. All of these need to be considered. In order to improve your physical health, you should put your body under a manageable amount of physical stress. For this stress to lead to improved health, you must remember to also recover! Recovery happens through eating high quality foods in the appropriate portions and by getting an adequate amount of sleep. Without also prioritizing these components of recovery, you will not "build up" your body, but rather continue to "break it down". Remember this saying, "Stress + Rest = Growth".

Response: There are many great workout styles that can improve your physical health. For example, yoga is great for increasing blood flow, reducing stress levels in the body, and improving flexibility. If you're interested in these benefits, as well as losing weight, I recommend exploring "Hot Yoga" as a more intense variation. Another method of getting into shape is through strength training. This type of workout is focused on lifting weights to put stress on your muscles. This stress leads to micro-tears in your muscles, which heal to become even stronger than before! Some great strength training workouts include; Squats, bench press, and bicep curls. If you are looking to begin a workout regiment that you can do rather independently, running is a great option. Running leads to increased cardiovascular health and muscular strength in your legs. All that is required is a high quality pair of shoes and a sidewalk, road, or trail!


Instruction: What causes that feeling of weightlessness when you're on a rollercoaster?

Response: The weightless feeling from a rollercoaster is caused by gravitational force, also known as g-force. Different rollercoaster elements lead to different types of g-force: there is positive g-force, which drives blood downwards towards the feet, and negative g-force, which drives blood upwards towards the head. Negative g-force acts opposite to gravity, and it occurs when you accelerate downwards faster than free-fall. The acceleration causes you to pull out of your seat, evoking a sense of weightlessness.

Response: The feeling of weightlessness you may get when on a rollercoaster is caused by gravitational force (g-force), and more specifically, negative g-force. Negative g-force occurs when you accelerate downwards faster than freefall, and that downward acceleration produces a force in the upward direction, thus pulling you out of your seat and causing a feeling of weightlessness.

Response: The feeling of weightlessness when you’re on a rollercoaster is caused by negative gravitational force, also known as g-force. Negative g-force occurs when you accelerate downwards, and is commonly felt in roller coaster elements like camelback hills, which are hump-shaped hills that travel straight up and down. Elements like these are designed to lift riders out of their seats, giving that feeling of weightlessness.


Instruction: What is Categorization and Sentiment Analysis

Instruction: What is an adverb?

Response: An adverb is a word or a combination of words that qualified an adjective (e.g. a describing word).  Adverbs can also restrict and limit the meaning of verbs.  An example of how to use an adverb in a sentence is the following: "the roads are very steep and dangerous."  In this example 'very' is the adverb.  Another example is "they are a happily married couple."  Happily is the adverb in this second example.

Response: An adverb is a word that describes or modifies a verb, adjective or another adverb and will usually end with "ly", such as slowly, creatively or fully. There a some adverbs that don't end in "ly", such as soon, ever, yet, away. For example, it soon became clear that he would be late.


Instruction: Can we move away from fossil fuels in the next decade  ?

Response:
According to the most recent report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and a consensus statement from over 97% of the world’s climate scientists, burning fossil fuels for electricity, heat, and transportation is the largest contributor to human driven climate change. Fossil fuels are responsible for over 75% of Greenhouse gas emissions and over 97% of carbon dioxide emissions. These reports have also stressed that there’s an immediate need to move away from these fuels in the near future.

The challenge to this paradigm shift from fossil fuels to renewable energy is a combination of social and political barriers, the cost for new infrastructure to manage new energy portfolios , fossil fuel phase-out may lead to an increment in electricity prices and challenges to energy storage.

In April 2022, McKinsey published their Energy Insights Global Energy Perspective report, where they highlighted a rapid increase in traditional energy ( Oil and Gas) over the next 5 years, however the report also shows a rise in renewable energy and Hydrogen following that 5 year mark. While each adoption of this will differ in each country, the consensus is we will have a mixed energy portfolio (renewables and traditional) for the next 3 decades. The data also suggests as we see technology improve for more sustainable management of assets, batteries and resources, we will see a decline in the extraction , transportation  and consumption of fossil fuels.

Response: In short No, Fossil fuels will be part of our Energy portfolio for several decades. Despite the general consensus that fossil fuels are the largest contributor to climate change, it’s also challenging to find an alternative energy source that replaces this on a global scale. As emerging nations grow, their demand for affordable energy will maintain the need for fossil fuels.  However, while  renewable energies have been projected to replace fossil fuels as the main energy source by 2050, we will still need to invest in decarbonization technology to offset the impact of maintaining emissions from fossil fuels.


Instruction: How can I be more productive?

Response: The best way to be productive is to manage time. Try to assign time to all your tasks. Complete the tasks on high priority first. Do not procrastinate.

Response:
The best way to be productive is to starting "doing" rather than "thinking"
* Set small goals
* Reward yourself for completing those small goals, small rewards like taking a break, eating your favourite snack, spending time with your kid.
* Do not multi-task because we really can not.
* Create a list of things to do and strike it off one by one. Do not get overwhelmed by the list.
* If you can delegate something do that, but make sure to follow up.
* Actually there is a course by David Allen on LinkedIn Learning or you can also read his book "Getting Things Done" it tells you about a 5 step process. Capture , Clarify, Organize, Review, Engage.
* And anything that can be done in 2 minutes, just finish it off.

Starting with one small thing, will make you productive. It is like a dominos, you change one keystone habit and it changes all the others eventually.


Instruction: Does parallel universe really exist?

Response:
When we talk about the possibility of multiple universes, we are referring to the idea that there could be many separate and distinct “realities” or “worlds” coexisting alongside our own. These universes may have different physical laws, properties, and dimensions, and could exist in parallel to our own universe. So basically, there’s this idea that there could be lots of different universes happening at the same time, and there are couple of evidences that make people think it might be true.
There are several evidences for parallel universe, such as Hawking radiation, which says that anything going into a black hole might end up in another universe. or the gravity waves act oddly and deviate objects from their orbits, possibly due to the influence of parallel universes.
This idea of multiple universes has been proposed in various fields of science, including physics, astronomy, and even psychology. For example, Stephen Hawking was the leading theoretical physicist who advocated multiverse theory. I believe it remains a highly theoretical concept till today, and it is an area of active research and exploration, as scientists continue to investigate the possibility of parallel universes and their potential implications for our understanding of the universe and our place in it.

These universes may have different physical laws, properties, and dimensions, and could exist in parallel to our own universe. So basically, there’s this idea that there could be lots of different universes happening at the same time, and there are couple of evidences that make people think it might be true.

There are couple of evidences for parallel universe, such as Hawking radiation, which says that anything going into a black hole might end up in another universe. or the gravity waves act oddly and deviate objects from their orbits, possibly due to the influence of parallel universes.

This idea of multiple universes has been proposed in various fields of science, including physics, astronomy, and even psychology. For example, Stephen Hawking was the leading theoretical physicist who advocated multiverse theory. I believe it remains a highly theoretical concept till today, and it is an area of active research and exploration, as scientists continue to investigate the possibility of parallel universes and their potential implications for our understanding of the universe and our place in it.

Instruction: What is the best way to lose weight?

Response: The best way to lose weight is to be in a calorie deficit. This means that you are consuming less calories than you expend. An easy way to confirm this deficit is to track your calorie intake with a calorie tracking application like MyFitnessPal. This helps you better understand the macronutrient composition (protein, carbohydrates, fat) of your food, and which foods are more calorically dense than others. One gram of protein has 4 calories per gram, one gram of carbohydrate has 4 calories per gram, and one gram of fat has 9 calories per gram. Each food that you consume is either one or a combination of these three macronutrients. It is possible to expend calories to create a larger deficit through exercise. There are many types of exercise, but most types can be categorized as either cardiovascular training or weight training. Both types of exercise are important, as cardiovascular exercises, such as walking, running, and biking, train your heart and burn calories during exercise. Weight-based training involves challenging your muscles with loads in order to make them stronger to handle larger loads and more volume. Weight-based training does not burn as many calories during exercise, however this type of training taxes your muscles so that they need to repair and thus burns more calories throughout the day after your training session. Weight-based training is important for strong muscles, bones, and tendons. The best way to lose weight involves a combination of a calorie-controlled diet, cardiovascular exercise, and weight-based training exercise sustained over a duration of time until you meet your weight goal. Once you meet your goal, it is then important to sustain these good habits and not revert back to the habits and behaviors you were previously engaged in that contributed to your weight gain.

Response: Cut carbs, calorie deficit.


Instruction: What is a credit card?

Response: A credit card is a payment card issued to users (cardholders) to enable the cardholder to pay a merchant for goods and services based on the cardholder's accrued debt (i.e., promise to the card issuer to pay them for the amounts plus the other agreed charges).The card issuer (usually a bank or credit union) creates a revolving account and grants a line of credit to the cardholder, from which the cardholder can borrow money for payment to a merchant or as a cash advance.

Response: A credit card is small card made out of plastic with numbers, codes and customer data embossed on it issued by banks and credit card companies.  They enable people who have them to purchase goods and services using money that has been lended as credit to the person who has the credit card.

Instruction: How should I sleep train my baby?

Response: Make sure the room is dark enough. If you hold out your hand at arm's length, you should not be able to see the outline of your fingers. Get a sound machine so that outside noises do not disturb them. Use a sleep sack or a swaddle as a safe method of keeping the baby warm. Lastly, maintain a consistent routine every night which may include reading books, giving a bath, feeding them milk, and/or singing a song.

Response: First, check with your pediatrician to make sure your baby is ready for sleep training. Most babies are ready for sleep training at about 4 months old given they are growing according to the growth curves. You can start with naps and put the baby to sleep when they are drowsy but not fully asleep. This is important because at this stage, the baby's sleep pattern become more like an adult sleep pattern and they start waking up throughout their nap and nighttime sleep to check their surroundings before falling back asleep. You want to make sure they are able to fall asleep independently in their own bed.

Instruction: Who is the best soccer player in the world?

Response:
There are many ways to determine who the best soccer player is at the current time.

Some would say that the Ballon d'Or award does that job for us, labeling the best player in the game at the current time. At this juncture, that is Karim Benzema of Real Madrid, who won the 2021/22 award after leading Los Blancos to the La Liga and Champions League double.

Others would say that the highest-paid player is the best. That would be Kylian Mbappe whose new PSG contract could see the French side shell out an eye-watering €630 million over the course of his new three-year contract he signed in the summer of 2022. Mbappe is thought to be the best young player in the game now, gracing the cover of the popular FIFA video game for the last two years.

Still more could argue that the player with the most goals scored would be the best player. That would make Cristiano Ronaldo the top player in the world, with his all-time record of more than 800 goals for club and country. Right behind him is his rival Lionel Messi, who also has collected far more assists than his Portuguese counterpart. Young striker Erling Haaland may have something to say about that, however, as his incredible start to the Premier League season has seen him on pace to shatter the league's single-season goalscoring record.

However, that seems to discount those who play other positions, like 2018 Ballon d'Or winner Luka Modric, whose midfield brilliance led Croatia to the last World Cup final, or 2022 Yashin trophy winner Thibaut Courtois, whose goalkeeping heroics earned him Man of the Match in the 2022 Champions League final.

Response: The best player in the world as of 2023 is Lionel Messi. He is also widely regarded as the greatest player to ever grace the game.

Instruction: Do aliens exist?

Response: Although there is no definitive evidence for the existence of extraterrestrial life, pictures and videos of UFOs, although of low quality, have proven to many people that not only does extraterrestrial life exist, but it is visiting Earth regularly.

Response:
Although there is no definitive evidence for the existence of extraterrestrial life, the immense number of planets that most likely exist in the universe suggest that, although the development of life can be difficult to start, there should be other life forms in the universe.

The discrepancy between the expected existence of life in the universe and the lack of any evidence is called the Fermi-Paradox.


Instruction: What is photosynthesis?

Instruction: Write an friendly, convincing e-mail to my landlord asking whether I can get a dog.

Response:
Dear Sir/Madam,

I hope this email finds you well.
I'm reaching out with a request regarding the property I rent from you. I'm interested in getting myself a dog and I noticed there wasn't a clause in our rental agreement specifying if this was allowed or not so I would like to consult you about that.
I work from home most days of the week and have a very laidback lifestyle, so I'm looking for a dog that can keep me company but also take me out of the house for walks. I'm looking into a small breed that is also calm and friendly - likely a french bulldog. They are easy to train and known for spending most of their day sleeping, this is also a very quiet breed that doesn't have a lot of complains of barking.
Is that something you would permit?
I am also happy to hop on a call or meet in person to discuss further in case you have any follow-up questions.

Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Kind regards

Response:
I am writing to you today to request permission to get a dog into the unit. As current, responsible tenants, we'd like to make every effort to assure you we will not be bothered.

We would like to set up a time to discuss the conditions you have to qualify us as pet owners. At that time, we are happy to discuss any financial requirements you may have in order for us to keep a dog.

We promise to provide appropriate levels of exercise, attention and care for our dog. We will continue to keep a clean apartment, take into consideration our dog's interaction with neighbors and ensure our pet is properly cared for whenever we're unable to take care of it ourselves.


Instruction: What are five totally distinct, creative ways to describe the usefulness of a broken stapler.

Response:
One can put a broken stapler to good use as a

- paper weight
- hammer
- home decor
- ruler
- weapon

Response:
Even though it may be broken, a stapler may still retain its usefulness. Consider these alternative uses for a broken stapler:
1. Hammer - the solid metal frame is sturdy enough to pound a nail.
2. Paper weight - even if you can't use staples to hold your papers together, the stapler can keep them on your desk.
3. Weapon - Whip it back and forth as a flail or throw it to dent someone's skull.
4. Door stop - hold the door open by wedging it between the door and frame.
5. Compass - magnetize the frame and never get lost again!
