I have settings throughout iPhone pointing at UK - not US .. but still I get US spelling recommendations. Just looked at Keyboard - noting it was US — and thought that would fix it - but apparently 🍎 thinks there is only one English language.

Or I am doing something wrong?

Watched Mythic Quest 4.10 a ‘while’ back .. and now they just released an alternative final ending .. very Fowlesian .. to you young uns think Sliding Doors and it’s ilk .. but The French Lieutenant’s woman was a much better way to manage Fowles’ ending in the book.

Today was the 🖇️ 80th quote in the ‘Inspired By People’ series and as I intimated 🖇️in this comment, I have no hesitation in bringing it to an end. Such was the demand. 🥳

Oh and the connectedness of things. And prior lives and … and … and on the way home my mind recalled something I wrote a few years ago;

I guess Tяump has moved on and forgotten Pillow Guy … he was soooo Tяump 1.0 … as Rudy will tell you, supporting drivers for that version aren’t upwardly compatible.

"OpenAI Develops X-Like Social Feature in ChatGPT"

💬 Amir Efrati - The Information

OpenAI is developing an X-like social feed within ChatGPT in part so that people can share how they’re using the chatbot to solve problems or create images, according to a person who has seen a prototype for employees.

That person did not go on to say that it actually wasn’t anything to do with that and all about Sam wanting to stick it to the Muskrat.

The first three have been rather good this time round, but interesting that over its life there have been duds, so am going to have to approach the ratings show by show. Big job if not careful .. have to think how best to approach it.

In just one newsletter this evening - three bags of popcorn from The Information.

"🍿Nvidia says it will manufacture some of its chips in the U.S. for the first time."

really looking forward to discovering what this story is really about.

"🍿NATO strikes a deal to buy Palantir’s AI military system."

what happens when Tяump goes to war with Europe❓

"🍿Intel is selling a 51% stake in its Altera chip unit to Silver Lake."

things must be getting really tough on the good ship Intel.

it’s Silverlake currently facing off Matt Mullenweg (that’s gone quiet recently hasn’t it?)

They are rich enough to do it .. but still not as rich as some of those Corporations .. Harvard .. standing up to bullies … #Lessons
