CHAT GPT

I think the Green Party needs to stop nagging the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs that "eating five greens a day" might be encouraging cannibalism, and get down to the real nitty-gritty green agenda.

The Green Party needs to tell its members about Chat GPT. They will, of course, have to use words such as "mindful", "mindfulness" "demure" and "super" as an adjective/adverb that the ThickTack lump of lard, Jools Lebron, (described an an "internet sensation" and "internet celebrity" - what on earth is that crap all about?) has virally popularised for all the sheep to grab their attention. This is to stress that she is fantastic and deserves being labelled a celebrity sensation so she can avoid actually working for a living. Life on benefits is so much more grim in the USA.

Maybe chuck in the odd "ringfenced" and "blue sky thought", and the Green's membership goldfish-like attention span will have been well and truly grabbed by the Margoolies.

According to someone (Sam Altman, of Open AI) in the Sunday Times, who knows about these things, there are some 700million users of Chat GPT each week. I would have thought counting the number of chats is very similar to the counting pollen - it must take someone hours, if not months.

And I thought Chat GPT was a get-together in the local tea shop.

Each 'Chat' question needs 1,224 joules (0.34 watt-hours of power), the amount the average kitchen oven consumes in a second. Or the energy a high-efficiency light-bulb would use in a couple of minutes. It also needs a third of a ml of water (one-fifteenth of a teaspoon).

Why all this cooking and lightbulb stuff is needed to explain ChatGPT, I have no idea. Perhaps it's a subversive plot to get the Green Party membership, renowned for being extremely dim (hence the lightbulb analogy) to put some water in their ovens and ask it a question.

Pirate Bay threatened with closure - doesn't affect me

Swedish file sharing website The Pirate Bay is now under threat following legal action by the British Phonographic Industry last December. They alleged that the website "infringes copyright on a massive scale” regarding the sharing of computer games, software, films and music. Point taken, and one can't for one minute deny that copyright is being infringed on quite a massive scale, not just on Pirate Bay, but all around the internet. However, with due respect to the originators of the shared files, I have never used Pirate Bay myself, except perhaps on very odd occasions for software, films and music. I never use Pirate Bay for software, because I prefer to pay an outlandish price for another seemingly pointless update to Microsoft Office that neither improves my speed nor productivity. And I am quite happy to part with hard earned cash to a company that has already earned a fortune from me - and others - with their updates over the years. And as for the recent update of Pho...

Airport amusement

There is no doubt that airports can be quite amusing places. That is apart from being told by a burly security supervisor at the x-ray gate that thanks to the only contribution Yasser Arafat ever made to society, I had to remove my belt, shoes, watch and place my AK-47 in the tray provided. Watching people going around their travel ‘business’ in airports and on board the aircraft is hilarious. There are those who are plainly not very good at it, continually checking all manner of minutiae with the other members of the party. “Do we go to the gate?”, “Have we time for a beer?”, “I MUST get a pizza”. There are those who have plainly not done it much before and like their fellow travellers to be made fully aware of the exact opposite, as they point and gesture to the monitor shouting out their destination and boarding gate at every passing opportunity to one and all around them. There are those who think they are something special – despite the fact they are travelling via bu...

Are Camelot dim, dysfunctional, liars or just plain greedy?

There can be no denying that UK lottery operators Camelot are on to a good thing. Especially the overpaid management. They have been reaping the benefits of the franchise for years now - a franchise that in essence, has been licenced by the government to print money. However, I can't quite make up my mind whether the management of the Lotto are dim, dysfunctional, liars or just plain greedy, although the cynic in me answers the question when I consider the chief Executive of Camelot was complaining last year that the annual bonus on her not inconsiderable 7-figure salary had been reduced (conveniently forgetting her 18 year sojourn to date at Camelot has produced a pension we mere mortals can only dream about. How about the poor soldiers, CEO Dianne Thompson, who come back from the far-east minus a leg and have to legally fight for compensation that doesn't even touch what you earn less than a month? And they don't receive CBE's for their troubles either !). Irres...
