    Are there any escalator experts on the forum?

    I've never noticed this. The difference must not amount to much over the course of the ride...?

    What's your best/worst joke?

    That's a question I'd probably ask anyone attending a "Whose Line is it Anyway?" event...

    Dolly, the new low-cost AI tool that supposedly trains faster than ChatGPT !

    I went to their website a few days ago but had no idea how to use this thing. Anyone figure it out?

    ChatGPT: The Future of AI is Here!

    Mostly I don't see that it comes up with new things. It offers nothing in the way of real creativity. Everything it produces consists of stuff that is already available in some form elsewhere. What it seems to have down is combining that old stuff into novel strings (or pixels or beeps)...

    ChatGPT: The Future of AI is Here!

    Mostly agree. ChatGPT texts are pretty noticeable as such. However, I wouldn't call it "an automation of google searches", mostly because I don't think it's actuality looking through tables of facts or anything similar but just stringing together words in a probabilistic fashion based on...

    Why No one Understands this?

    I don't know, I find the promise of a paycheck or the threat of its discontinuation to be pretty motivating. 🤑

    ChatGPT: The Future of AI is Here!

    What does that mean? Like, what exactly was the deliverable? Did it give you an .accdb file? If it can spit out actual database files that are more-or-less ready to use, that's quite something...

    ChatGPT: The Future of AI is Here!

    I tried You.com the other day. It didn't require an account, so a much more inviting trial environment for folks not wanting to sign their lives away to a computer. I wanted to see how it was creatively because the ChatGPT examples I've seen of poetry don't have the best meter. First I asked it...

    Making English Pure Again

    English does the same - and quite frequently. It just often keeps the component words separate in spelling. (Baseball = one word; White House = one word. But white house = two words.)

    Making English Pure Again

    When these folks start learning and using OE noun declensions and the full system of verb conjugation, I'll maybe start taken them a little more seriously. Until then, this is mostly just an inside joke to make a few people feel clever about knowing made-up words used in otherwise fully-modern...

    Disable Window Close Button

    I've never disabled the close operation (which I think might need more than just hiding the X - to handle shortcuts), but I do use a method in line with the nav/hidden form approach mentioned by several here to present users an "are you sure?" so they don't accidentally close and get frustrated...
