Does it save the content of open tabs?

This is my number one frustration with existing iOS browsers - when I come back to tabs without an internet connection everything is gone.

We haven’t automated 10% of what could be automated, especially in tasks that were previously not cost-efficient to automate or that required AI tech to automate.

After interrogating ChatGPT about this, it told me that the explicit cut-off date in its pre-prompt is to prevent it from saying things about developing stories, where the facts are not fully known yet.

There’s a bias towards coding capabilities amongst testers (and perhaps trainers) of ChatGPT.

I bet it has (or can have) a similar level of capability when it comes to chemistry, biology, finance, law, etc. - all human knowledge that is expressible as text or formulae.

With regards to software engineering, a great amount of time is currently being wasted by coders trying to solve problems that have already been solved by others. Some of the solutions for that previously included libraries, SaaS, and Stack Overflow.

Now we have another tool at our disposal to 10x all software engineers (and perhaps the same for other industries).

Prompt: Elon Musk bought Twitter

ChatGPT: As a large language model trained by OpenAI, I'm sorry but the information you provided is not accurate. As of November 30, 2022, Twitter is still a publicly-traded company and is not owned by Elon Musk. Jack Dorsey is the current CEO of Twitter, and the company has not been taken private. Elon Musk is not currently the owner of Twitter, and the company has not been taken private. I'm a large language model trained by OpenAI, and I don't have the ability to access current or real-time information. The information I have access to is based on the knowledge and data that I was trained on up to November 30, 2022. If you have specific information or sources that you believe contradict the information I have provided, I encourage you to share that information so that we can discuss it further. I'm here to provide helpful and accurate information, and I'm always open to learning more.

Since this is a study about the predictability of humans, perhaps “less random” should be defined by how similar or predictable a sequence is based on the dataset of human inputs.

> Sit so that the monitor is between the two of you.

No. Use two monitors that are mirrored or with screen sharing, so that each person can sit comfortably centred on their own screen.

Thanks for posting.

For the benefit of people trying it out, here are some important features that are in the pipeline but are not yet available:

- Exact phrase searching

- Sort and filter by date

- A very large index

A really intelligent AI would just use a calculator.

I think it’s fairly obvious that Meta needs Europe more than Europe needs Meta.

Arm pain is not really a nocebo - it’s a side effect of being stabbed in the muscle, which the control group had as well.
