This week I urge you to play with #chatgpt - love it or loathe it, it’s worth understanding- it turned me into an enthusiastic Butlins rep. About right I’d say…

"One of the criticisms I've faced over the years is that I'm not aggressive enough or assertive enough, or maybe somehow, because I'm empathetic, it means I'm weak. I totally rebel against that. I refuse to believe that you cannot be both compassionate & strong." Jacinda Ardern

She was fantastic - what a brilliant star - she also reminded us thet in the whole of the west end there are only 2 shows written by women - hers and the one on next door to her. The mousetrap.

Just saw this and cannot convey strongly enough the extraordinary brilliance of @lizkingsman As @Marthalanefox said, like witnessing early Victoria Wood, i.e. the start of something huge. But mainly unbelievably funny. twitter.com/TicketmasterUK…

3. The Struggle to be Human by @mrianleslie
There was a plethora of commentary when ChatGPT arrived but this article was by far my favourite, on the importance of embracing human complexity in the age of AI.

I know I sound like a Luddite to some of you and a lunatic to others but if you haven’t played with #ChatGPT then you must - whatever your work, this prototype shows how everything will change - its really astonishing - and this is only a beta….

Our Woman of the Day Dundee-born Frances Wright born OTD 1795. She advocated education for all, equal rights for women, emancipation - one of the first women in USA to do so - and set up Nashoba Commune to prepare enslaved people for freedom. Harshly criticised by press & clergy.

When stars die, most leave behind a beautiful piece of art called a planetary nebula. They last a few thousand years and then fade. Our sun will likely sign off with its own art piece in 5 billion years.
These are planetary nebulae captured by Hubble.

Morrison’s and Ocado. I’ve been relying on them since I first locked down in March 2020 - I’m still isolating alone at home as I’m CEV. They’ve been Iifelines for me - excellent service, attentive drivers/delivery people, bright spots in difficult times.
