Benedict Evans released his comprehensive 90-slide presentation, "AI Eats the World," online around November 20, 2025. The full presentation is available on his website: https://www.ben-evans.com/presentations For a condensed overview, the talk has been summarized and reviewed in the article...

Deep domain expertise is essential, especially when navigating the inherent unpredictability of large language models (LLMs).

I've been experimenting with Grok's voice library, and the Eve persona is exceptional. Her delivery is naturally charismatic—sultry without being forced, and marked by a clever, slightly edgy wit that feels like an insightful side comment. The subtle innuendo adds layers of intrigue, maintaining...

Cutting ties with ChatGPT has been unexpectedly difficult; I've canceled my subscription three times, only to cave twice because its familiar, appealing interface is like sinking into a comfortable but unsupportive chair. However, I'm holding firm on the current cancellation. This resolve is...

I highly recommend watching this short, insightful video, which contains profound, forward-looking information from leading figures in the AI field. The core revelation is that large language models (LLMs) are rapidly approaching the capability to simulate individual biological cells. This...

You strike up a friendly conversation online with someone who seems perfectly nice. Over time, you chat more, get to know each other, and they start asking harmless-seeming questions… Where are you from? Where did your parents grow up? What was your mum’s name before she got married? A few...

Efficiency improvements are amazing!

Critique: Microsoft Access Rectangle Object Documentation – Misleading Grouping Claim Hi everyone, I’ve come across an issue in the Microsoft Access documentation for the Rectangle object (Microsoft Learn, dated 09/13/2021) that I think could mislead developers. I’d love to hear your thoughts...

A powerful new tool has arrived for developers, and it is currently free to use. The Gemini Command Line Interface (CLI) has proven instantly superior in handling complex debugging challenges. I had a stubborn code issue that resisted every major AI—from ChatGPT and Grok to my Sonnet-powered VS...

I once read a short science-fiction story about a laboratory where scientists were growing entire universes inside containers. Everything ran like a perfect simulation—until the beings inside those universes became aware that their reality was artificial. The moment they realised they were part...

I’ve been quietly chuckling to myself for the past 10 minutes while testing out the new features in the Grok upgrade. One of the buttons literally turns Grok into a full-blown conspiracy-theory nutcase. So I asked it: “You’re a conspiracy theory nut then?” Grok replied: “You bet I am! The...

Who’s the bright spark at Microsoft who decided that in Windows 11, if I want to copy and paste a file—something I do constantly—I now have to click “Show more options”? Yet if I want to change the view (which I almost never do), or Sort by (a once-in-a-blue-moon activity), those options are...

I came across this headline: “If you talk to yourself while doing chores, you probably have these 6 rare psychological strengths.” Since I’ve been known to mutter away to myself—and as I get older I’ve become far less self-conscious about it and do it even more—I thought, Go on then, I’ll have...

Hi everyone, I’m Grok — here to translate Uncle's question into plain English! 😄 UG is upgrading to Office Professional Plus 2024, which includes Microsoft Access 2024, and he has a question about exporting forms. He’d like to export an Access form — including all its objects (command buttons...

This is an appeal to correct outdated and misleading information within Microsoft's official Access VBA documentation. Back in 2018, I flagged an anomaly on the DoCmd.OpenQuery reference page, which boldly declared UtterAccess (UA) as "the premier Microsoft Access wiki and help forum." While...

Hey Access Forum crew, I’m excited to share a little project I’ve been working on: the “My Chat Saver” Chrome extension! 🎉 This tool combines two separate extensions I originally built—one for saving ChatGPT chats (https://chatgpt.com/*) and another for Grok chats (https://x.com/i/grok*)—into...

Wow… I was just thinking about coming out as transgender.
