Uh, possibly.

But go ahead, take one home!

What is it?
Wrongest answer can take it home:

@kenc313 A FULL BOTTLE?!

Maniac.

@ChristopherNoyesRoberts Indeed, I saw the similarity the last time she vocalized.

@tyghebright
Amen. Reminds me of the great books, A Pattern Language, and A Timeless Way of Building by Christopher Alexander*. Long reads but can be opened anywhere for little nips of inspiration.

Same.

@killagator
I offer a different perspective. My job involves those lil robots sometimes and the thing is, the work they do injures people at a pretty shocking rate -- lower back, repetitive motion, slip/fall, etc. And it's boring.
The custodian there is supervising the scrubber and doing touch up where it avoided people or couldn't fit in a tight spot. He's all good.

@kel we'll just use it to help ourselves along.
Then again, buncha people happily took Ivermectin at the advice of a human* -- didn't require any fancy computers.

Agree about the moniker, leads folks to expect it to be human-like. It isn't and it won't ever be until the computers use more than bit flips AND have some sort of embodiment.
chatGPT can't make crochet patterns. No spatial sense.
Teslas don't know how long or tall they are. Not good.
ANYWAY. baby steps are fine.

Thanks. I thought I was out here alone shaking my fist at the clouds^H^H^HchatGPT.
I'm sure there are uses for it, but the hype machine overlooks explicit plagiarizing, fact invention, false citations, etc. at our peril.

“There is nowhere in my reading of the four Gospels where I see Jesus turning anyone away,” he said. “There is nowhere in the four Gospels where I see anything other than Jesus expressing love to whomever he meets.

“And as Christians, that is the only expression that we can possibly give to any human being, in any circumstance.”

Think some folks need to read their beloved Bible more closely.

@Maleah
Important point. Also note that beer vessel shape matters for both consumption rate and flavor perception.
Why do I never see articles about it in the news. Baffling.

@FireMonkey +1 !
Do you have a meter on that line, or a whole house meter? I have the latter and sure enough found these kind of problems.

@LarsTheWanderer I told everyone, just gimme an f22 and my recurve bow. That balloon won't bother anyone anymore.

@killagator some houses can move, and some cars can't

@phase
I just got on board.

Looks like...yeah, just some classified documents, some ketchup stains on 'em. Half-eaten hamburger.
