AI responds differently

Always smiling @allknowing (144603) • India 27 Apr

I just read somewhere that AI responds differently to different users even though the question may be identical. I wonder if they get to know the user's background before getting those answers. But strangely I have noticed the...

Max Crisp I suppose if you asked AI if you were fat, and it somehow knew you were emotionally unstable, it might give a different answer than the truth. It’s not something I’ve noticed.

Max Crisp Considering I love both Marty Robbins and Gordon Lightfoot, I can’t say I have ever heard this before! I should really start listening to their back catalogues. Great song, sung by a great singer, and you can tell it’s a Gordon Lightfoot song. Thanks for...

Oh and get this--she is nuts

My former neighbor texted me at 11:45pm last night asking if she could drop Whiskey off here if she needed to. I was awake because I couldn't sleep last night but I would have been PISSED if she had woken me up. She lives about...

Max Crisp She’s definitely trying to take advantage of your good nature. Good for you not responding to her texts immediately. If it’s in your nature to be kind and helpful, then it’s difficult to say no.

Meghan Markle has used the HRH (her royal highness) title recently in a commercial venture despite being banned from doing so by Queen Elizabeth II

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (122550) • United States 15h

I've always been interested in the Royal Family. I remember watching Fergie's wedding to Prince Andrew back in 1984 or whenever it was. I paid attention to the divorces, the affairs, obviously Diana's tragic death, and the...

Max Crisp It seems to me that she likes the ‘benefits’ of being a royal, but doesn’t like the royals. Despite moving to America to get away from the British gutter press, Harry and Megan are never out of the headlines. Sadly, it’s still mostly negative.

1960 Top Ten Songs: When Will I Be Loved (#3)

Four Walls @FourWalls (74034) • United States 22h

Max Crisp The Everly Brothers were a great duo, with excellent harmonies. They topped the charts here in the UK many times, but this didn’t quite make it. I’ve never heard the Linda Ronstadt version. Although she is a great singer, she didn’t have a lot of success over...

1960 Top Ten Songs: Stairway to Heaven (#5)

Four Walls @FourWalls (74034) • United States 26 Apr

And now for the other half of “the hustle.” You see that song title and you IMMEDIATELY think of Led Zeppelin. No. This is 1960, after all, and most of the members of Led Zep were still in school. So let’s go back...

Max Crisp Always cheerful songs from Neil Sedaka. I know he was a prolific songwriter. Question: Why a stairway to heaven? It’s such a long way and mostly uphill, so an escalator would be more appropriate, especially if you’ve got dodgy knees Just a thought!...

Max Crisp I’ve never heard of this one either! Top Ten what, I’m asking myself? I’ve also realised that clicking on your song links is changing my YouTube algorithm, so it’s suggesting I listen to tunes I wouldn’t normally.

Max Crisp Men often mistake being friendly as a ‘come on’. You seem like a friendly sort, so he’s trying his luck. He’s also probably being seduced by the smell coming from your cooking, in particular the cinnamon rolls. What’s not to like?

Watching Conclave on Amazon Prime Video

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (122550) • United States 22 Apr

Max Crisp I’ve already got too many out of date spices in my cupboard, so although I’d be tempted, I’d have to pass. Vanilla and saffron are very expensive here too, without the tariffs, but they’re not something I use, so I’d pass. I hope you stocked up on cinnamon.
