A bit like my Samsung e1270, pretty much the thickest of thick phones, rings, texts that it.

Don't want a smartphone, people might contact me.

In other news, the MIT cafeterias finally have got rid of the yellowish pasta that nobody likes.

Suppose using an AI instead of a carbon-based lifeform to shuffle bits of paper around electronically is a sort of carbon reduction.

Whatever happened to Cash and Carrion ?

wouldn't mind a new BoFH polo.

53% ? Bit low in my opinion. Would have thought at least 80% for Undergrads.

I'll stick with Naked News, slightly more erudite and interesting.

It's hit the side of the fish bowl, and is incoherently swearing and muttering.

NHS Fife are more annoyed that someone off the street walked in and did a better job of looking after patients (as in, "want you water jug refilled Mrs. McGinty ?" and "Cold Tom ?, I'll get you another blanket) than the actual staff, showing them up.

The data breach was that the person was handed a bit of paper with who's in each bed and what was wrong with them, didn't know what to do with that, so just put it in their pocket.

[This information is from the Dundee Courier (local paper), apart from the names of patients, so it wasn't me.]

CERN turns all the knobs to 11, and maxes out the particle beams of the LHC, which collide and form the first stable wormhole to another dimension.

Turns out we're the evil alternate universe.

A guy called Nole comes over with cold fusion, flying cars, and a bug free version of Windows on a dirt cheap open source hardware Mac for everyone.

I remember a couple of months back a poster promoting this, it had Terrence Howard as Musk.

Think that was a good choice.

But what are we a simulation of ?

Tell me about it, still waiting for the cannon to arrive.

I thought Stainless Steel Rats would be a solution.

What about controlling giant robots to fight instead of themselves ?

Either using Elon's Neuralink thing, or even just remote control.

No squishy damage, but we still get a fight.

The higher up here at the University wanted us to use AI in our work,

But due to mixup with the typeface "I" (capital i) was replaced with "l" (lowercase l) in the paperwork,

now have a minion/ PFY called Al to help me with things. He's currently away on the cake run.

Just as we think we know what's going on, it changes.

Wouldn't be surprised if we tear up the standard model within twenty years

The annoying thing about ChatGPT to me is, I asked it for a book recommendation on a subject, and the book (and Author) didn't exist.

"Folk Medicine in the Orkney and Shetland Isles" by Erland Lee-Paul

Wish they did emulators of the Casio CFX 9850 or fx-115.

Or I could just wander over to my bookshelf and play with the real things. Nah, too far for my old hips.

Think it's mostly due to, within a week, ChatGPT would be the most published author in all scientific disciplines by such a wide margin as to make any sort of metrics on papers published (h-index and the like) completely meaningless.

two candidates I thought of

The heir apparent, his son, Keyboard mash ?

or maybe because of the discourse on there, the Moderatrix ? (I miss her on here)

Well done for him becoming the next former Prime minister.

From the article, looks like he needed that job- means he won't be scrimping and saving anymore.
