Rhino Report on Hold

The Rhino Report - Paused (Indefinitely)      Sometimes I get a bit more than a bit anxious, and I start asking ChatGpt, who I call (Geo) "Hey Geo, could we create a (fill in the blank) thingy that could save the world? And you know how that thing is, it can be very optimistic and over-promising. (Hallucinations much?), and it always says, "Absolutely, would you like me to outline that, or mock-up a website page, start coding that, or whatever." And then we are off to the races.  Here’s one mock-up by Geo:  I start planning, and it keeps feeding me more options, and we go down lots of rabbit holes.

Talk to each other, reason things out, find credible sources of information and share them. Stand up for and with your neighbors.
