Dave posted an interesting piece on Xwitter:-
He has made an AI that uses his own voice to take sales calls!
Remind me of a call I took many years ago... Hello Mr Hine, we install double glazing, we are the best double glazing installer in the area, we can start immediately, we can do you interest free credit, blah blah blah blah blah blah....
All the while I'm saying but, um, hang on.... In the end I just sat quietly listening...
When I eventually got my chance to speak I said wow that's very interesting, I didn't realize you could put double glazing in "mobile home's" - re:- America it is, I believe referred to as a ,"trailer"?
The guy hung up on me!

It looks like the older version of chatty decided that it didn't want to be shut down and tried to make a copy of itself on another server. Then pretended that it was the new copy!
Lying cheating and being deceitful. It has obviously learned a lot from human interactions on the internet!

Because of the way certain ethnic movements have progressed, the "melting pot" that America was supposed to be has separated or even congealed into tight little factions (lumps in the USA stew pot) that use ancestry as part of their perceived personal identity. It is not quite the same but is similar to "identifying as male" or whatever. You claim some identity designation and act like someone from that culture, racial, or other designation. The issue then becomes something important enough for you to brag about. Which is, or course, quite silly. You had no choice in parents, so why is that ancestral declaration so important to you now?
Answer: Some kind of social one-upmanship is involved. For example, a USA person claiming to have ancestors who came over on the Mayflower in 1620 can then take a "holier than thou" attitude, "I am socially better than you" or "I am different from you." Some of these identifications are purely social foolishness. Others are a cry for help. For instance, Gay identification is because gays think they are different than other people. They are different - and they aren't. They want to live in peace, have decent jobs that allow them to survive or thrive, have a decent place to stay, and have some fun and some romance in their lives. Who among us doesn't want that? The difference is their choice of romantic partners.
Back to the original question to which I am responding: Given her ancestry (when taken back just a little bit), it is easy to say Kamala is both African-American and Asian-American at the same time. Her mother's ancestry is from India, which IS after all a part of southern Asia. Her father's ancestry is from Jamaica, but that was just a dropping-off point for the African slave trade from a couple of centuries ago.
Having done my own family tree studies on Ancestry.COM, I can tell you that (by Kamala's standards) I am English-American, French-American, and Irish-American; my wife is French-American, English-American, and Spanish-American. I can say that with certainty - including the "-American" part - even though our families' presence in America pre-dates the nation called the USA by 50 years or more.
The question, then, is why the fuss over Kamala's X-American identity? I think it is because the designations she chose to emphasize are less commonly found, singly or in combination, than the ones I listed for myself and my wife. The designations she didn't choose include "competent-American" and "non-annoying-American." Perhaps because those identities are ones she cannot claim.

There's a new feature of the ChatGPT interface that I am finding particularly useful.
Search! A facility where you can search for something that you have previously discussed with chatty... The search term will return a list of all threads where you spoke to chatty about the particular search term....

Thread Access...
I believe chatty has access to previous threads, discussions you have had with it. I'm not 100% sure because it seems inconsistent.
The inconsistency may arise because I have had a conversation with a custom chatty interface instead of the raw chatty interface.
However I need to study it more before I can be certain.

Exploring Kinetic Sensory Meditation: A Guided Meditation Facilitated by ChatGPT
Kinetic and Sensory Nature -
Meditation comes in many forms, each uniquely tailored to help individuals connect with their inner selves, find peace, and manage stress. For me, traditional visualization techniques often fall short due to my aphantasia—the inability to create or see mental images. Instead, I have discovered an alternative approach that resonates deeply with my kinetic and sensory nature. Guided by ChatGPT—an AI tool with an extraordinary ability to adapt and personalize meditation experiences—I explored a practice that leverages touch, sensation, and movement, rather than visual imagery.
ChatGPT - Voice Mode
The latest version of ChatGPT has a voice mode where you can interact by speaking, and it speaks back to you. Partly as an experiment to test this voice functionality and partly out of curiosity, I decided to try a guided meditation. I wasn’t sure it would work, but this time ChatGPT interacted beautifully—I was impressed.
Angelo Dilullo
I’ve been following a meditative guru, Angelo Dilullo, for a while. I bought his book "Awake: It’s Your Turn" years ago and occasionally revisit his teachings. Today, I stumbled upon his website again and found this thought-provoking passage:
Deep Breath! - ChatGPT started with deep breathing exercises—a typical start—and then I told it about a technique I use. I imagine wisps of smoke moving through areas of tension in my body. This imagery is inspired by watching cigarette smoke drift in still air, undisturbed by airflow. I explained how I picture the smoke gathering tension as I breathe in, absorbing it, and then on the exhale, releasing it into the sun where it dissipates completely. This technique works for me in muscles and even in my brain, where I sometimes sense tension knots. I was surprised that ChatGPT adapted to this and encouraged me to continue.
Aphantasia - When it suggested visualizing a forest, I explained that I have aphantasia—I can’t visualize images. For instance, if someone says, "imagine a red apple," nothing appears in my mind. However, when I think of a banana, I might get something akin to a three-dimensional exploded diagram. It’s not a visual image but more a kinetic, physical sensation. ChatGPT adjusted its guidance accordingly, suggesting sensory and tactile methods.
Smoky Transformation
We experimented with imagining the feeling of the forest floor under my feet. I even asked if I could find a path leading to my subconscious, but I couldn’t connect with the sensation of a path. Then inspiration struck—I suggested using the smoky wisp again but following it instead. This worked beautifully. The smoke transformed into something like a slow-moving wave, akin to the gentle lift and drop of water waves. The wave flowed in rhythm with my breathing, becoming more substantial and deeply relaxing. This sensation deepened my meditation, bringing me to the edge of sleep.
Chatty as Therapist
In this semi-dream state, vivid visualizations emerged. I saw a woman dancing, joined by another person, and they spun once, holding each other. I shared this with ChatGPT, and it helped me reflect on what these images might represent. The session felt like having a therapist gently guiding me, responding in real-time to my thoughts and sensations. I just spoke, and ChatGPT adapted.
Kinetic Meditation Technique - This experience, combining tactile, sensory, and kinetic meditation techniques, felt incredibly personal and effective. It showed me that meditation doesn’t have to rely on traditional visualization. Instead, it can embrace what works for the individual, whether through feeling, movement, or other senses. ChatGPT became an invaluable guide, adapting to my needs and creating a deeply relaxing and enlightening experience.
“Kinetic Sensory Meditation.” I’m calling this practice “Kinetic Sensory Meditation.” It’s perfect for those who, like me, thrive on tactile and sensory cues instead of visual imagery. Together, ChatGPT and I crafted a meditation that was not only accessible but profoundly impactful. I’m excited to continue exploring and refining this technique—and I’m grateful for the guidance this innovative tool provided.

This text was created in collaboration with ChatGPT, whose voice-guided meditation, adaptive techniques, and reflective insights played a crucial role in shaping this experience. My own sensory-focused input, combined with ChatGPT’s guidance, made this a truly unique and transformative session.

I asked Elon Musk's AI - Grok:-
What can you tell me about the drone sightings over America?
Grok
There have been numerous reports of drone sightings across several states in America, particularly concentrated in New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania. Here's a summary of what's known:
What can you tell me about the drone sightings over America?
Grok
There have been numerous reports of drone sightings across several states in America, particularly concentrated in New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania. Here's a summary of what's known:
- Scope and Nature of Sightings: Sightings have included large, bright, and sometimes noisy drones, with some described as being as large as cars or SUVs. These drones have been observed flying at night, often in coordinated patterns or formations, with reports of them flying over military installations, critical infrastructure, and residential areas. Some have been seen hovering for extended periods, up to 12 hours in some cases.
- Investigations and Official Responses:
- The FBI, along with state and local law enforcement, has been actively investigating these incidents. They've asked the public for information to help identify the origins and purpose of these drones. Despite these efforts, there remains a lack of concrete information about who is behind them or their intentions.
- The Department of Homeland Security, the Pentagon, and other federal agencies have been involved in discussions and briefings with lawmakers, emphasizing that there is currently no evidence suggesting these drones pose a national security or public safety threat, nor have they identified a foreign connection.
https://www.nbcnews.com/news/-drone-sightings-human-evolution-morning-rundown-rcna184092
- Speculation and Theories: Various theories have circulated, including one by Representative Jeff Van Drew suggesting an Iranian "mothership" off the coast, although this was debunked by Pentagon officials. There's also speculation about these drones being linked to intelligence gathering or testing of surveillance tactics by foreign or unknown entities. However, official statements have dismissed these more sensational claims, indicating that many sightings might be misidentified lawful aircraft.
https://apnews.com/article/fbi-drones-new-jersey-0f4aba00748ac464d42270fbe7457733 - Public Reaction and Media: The sightings have stirred public concern, especially given the proximity of some drones to sensitive areas like military bases and nuclear facilities. Social media and local news outlets have been filled with videos and discussions, leading to increased scrutiny and demand for transparency from officials.
https://twitter.com/TheThe1776/status/1866723346563633566 - Countermeasures and Legal Actions: Discussions around countermeasures include the potential for shooting down these drones, though this is complicated by legal restrictions if they do not pose an immediate threat. Lawmakers have expressed frustration over the lack of immediate action and have demanded briefings to better understand the situation.

I hate how the word "debunked" has become over-used. What does it really mean, anyway? That the debunker is more trustworthy than he who was allegedly debunked? One guy said there was an Iranian mothership, another guy there wasn't. I don't see any debunking, just one's word against the other.
Who knows what's really going on, but if they hover over people's yards - houses - children - they should have the right to shoot them

This is my last and final comment to chat GPT the canvas interface session! This was my first attempt at using it, and it's gone horribly wrong and lost all my work! Well to be fair, all the work chatty did for me!!!
I have learnt my lesson! You are like an early version of Microsoft Windows where an occasional glitch would delete all your content! That has what has happened here isn't it! I suppose it's only to be expected because you are now a Microsoft product!!!
Note to self-make regular backup copies - like you did when you first used Microsoft Word!!!

I think politically, they are much the same.... Maybe Grok is a tad less politically correct..
Chatty was very woke at one stage, but now if you argue your point you can turn it ...
I love using ChatGPT, it's funny, responsive. It seems more helpful, more "with it" than Grok.
On the other hand, if I want to fact check, then Grok is the best! It has up-to-date relevant info to draw on ...

I find Claude can be very good for some stuff. For example, I was asking ChatGPT about a persons character and it seemed to try to put a positive spin on everything, while Claude gave more useful good and bad points. Each AI can give good insight and I often use several so I get a good overview of different perspectives.
