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.

A Season for all men

Well, we’re used to hearing about the Camping Season , which for Scouts runs from approximately 31st March to 31st October each year, although Graham Norton’s camping season lasts all year. Then there’s the Caravan Season , where Jeremy Clarkson spends six months with extremely high blood pressure as he tries to overtake them on the A38 in an excruciatingly expensive and completely unnecessary car. The Japanese have their Scientific Season, which was a series of sporadic weeks where they slaughtered endangered whales for scientific research, the results of which seem to be a closely guarded world-secret. This season now looks set, thanks to a group of spineless, land-locked countries threatened by the Land of the Rising Scientific Research with paying more for their Nintendos and PlayStations, to last until the final whale is wiped off the face of the oceans. I have written to the Japanese Embassy four times now seeking details of this research (email address info@l...

"Q". My name is Bond. Oh. not THAT Q.

I was sent a story today by a friend who knows my feelings on the subject - that is, about one of the consummately greatest of all British activities, namely, queuing. It seems some Danish Professor or other has come up with the theory that those who queue the longest should actually be served the last. He claims it makes purchasing something altogether more efficient and smooth through the idea of 'contra-queuing' (whatever the devil that may mean). 'Serve the people at the back of the queue first', he says, with profound wisdom. Altogether very professorial, albeit demonstrating a somewhat keen lack of understanding of the purchasing psyche. The Nobel Prize-chasing Prof suggests that if, for example, a popular entertainment act was to announce a tour, with tickets going on sale at 11am one morning, using the theory of 'contra-queuing', no one will want to be first to buy said tickets. So no one will turn up 14 months in advance and venues will...

"Pre-" . . . . . good grief!!!!!!!!!

I was looking through the Guardian this morning and noticed a position being advertised that I thought I'd take a closer look at. The first sentence, when clicking the link to apply was: "If you are registered, please log in and we will pre-fill this form for you." What is the current fixation with the prefix "pre" . It is everywhere, turning perfectly reasonable statements into total and utter gibberish! I would have thought that for one of our major quality newspapers, instead of "please log in and we will pre-fill this form for you" it would have been much more sensible to have something along the lines of "please log in and your details will be automatically filled in for you". It is the rip-off Britain merchants who have embraced this particular prefix with a vengeance. They have nonsensically slapped it in front of the word " order " so that the moment an overpriced games console, war game for that console, phone,...
