People (mentally healthy ones) liked ChatGPT 4 beeeeecause, it was personable and less expensive?
5 is too cold and unfeeling, they feel forlorn bereft and unsatisfied.
My 2c: the only people profiting off of chat-yada would be advertising, they could let machines try to win your heart with catchy phrases, little jingles, and hot AI women, but that's just my 2c.
Lonely people romancing bots is more of a sideline no one would talk about.
Here, a picture.
Thank you, back arrow.
Gizmodo had another article, something about the future of Doctor Who, which I feel that I know even less about.
I wrote (didn't I?) that you pick your show, and the streaming service broadcasting that show,

aaand..I wrote it's too expensive, and gave up. Fiber is tied up with little introductory deals and purported temporary discounts that kick in after three months, but end eventually (they don't say when or how.)
In other words, slowish fiber looks cheap, but there is too much fine print to worry about.
And I'm not eligible anyway (They don't like apartment complexes?)

53+37+tax and fees, let's guess $99
It must've taken an AI computer to come up with the convoluted rate-structure.
Why did they need "Speedtest"? Don't they control their own speed, or does it change on cloudy days or when the president visits?
I'm not convinced.

| $142, optimistically AI |
For $99 (before discounts) 2gig would be attractive...
And I already have a phone.
There are other companies, just as restrictive and with weird rules.
Who could possibly afford competing streaming services (two or three) on top of the transmission rate (eg, $99) to watch their favorite shows? we're talking maybe the better part of $200 a month.

People pay tons I know, slavishly signing contracts for discounts...
I don't have a contract nor any discounts. I pay $105 a month (NO streaming)

add, o, maybe, 20+20+20 for streaming...and fees and tax...169? Or is that wishful thinking (premium-movie fees, live event fees) nevermind.

Speaking of stuff I know less than nothing about,
I've had bluetooth for years, and never use it.
Someone somewhere has a bluetooth 65" TV that shows up.
That's just creepy, and the reason I don't use a bluetooth keyboard, but that's digressing....

Um, OK it says "connect" and it does, and four seconds later it disconnects, from my pixel phone.
Both devices ask me if I want to connect, and here is my code, do I want to connect?
Yes!
Yes!
It connects!
Then disconnects.
On a hunch, I sent a file from the PC to the phone.
Do I want the file?
Yes, I want the file!
Yes, I want the file!
Transferring...
I'm guessing that a person needs a streaming app.
Right?
IDK.
IDK.

| This is just silly. Bloviated BS. (I mean, I transferred the file yesterday (no flies on me) But this newfangled-whippersnapper audio app proclaimed superiority. Big fail. It transfers a file, and then I play it, wtf is that? What if my phone had some podcast going, or an FM radio? |

| Bleh-bleh-bla,-bla, (It should be built in to windows or what the hell is windows for anyway, besides updates) |

I'm always imagining that Bluetooth is the hot girl on the subway with a few friends she wants to share songs with.
With *my* setup, all she could do is transmit files and let the receivers use their players to play it.

Doubtless you've all figured this out since 2004 when you were 8, but I don't know how to "stream" anything.
I can send and receive files, that's it.
Edit:
A $5 program added a doohickey that lets my PC receive audio. I'm a little short on details..

| "Alternative A2DP License," is That what I want? OMG,wut? You done HAD to bring that up, now I'll be riddled with recriminations and self-doubt |
So, (as in ages past) I look for a player that uses bluetooth, lose interest and ten years go by.
They've been saying that since I was eight and too naive to know that you never bring this up in conversation; let it lie encrusted in ancient tomes.
I Don't know (since I was eight)
They make these IQ tests, and no one really knows what they measure except that they seem to like math.
They do not split up the tests from math and verbal skills.
and, they reeely want to know how old you are, and if you're a guy or a girl.
My SAT and ACT both said "good luck fishing for shrimp" on math,

but my verbal was impressive (so they stuck me in a damn class full of upper-crusties where I failed on "Term paper."
Term papers are my brick wall, my waterloo. (Do blogs count?)
Anyway I finally found an IQ test online that said my IQ was exactly the same as 40 years ago.
No alzheimer's here! I'll die happy.
