For years I’ve dreamed of having natural conversations with artificial intelligence like Tony Stark does with J.A.R.V.I.S. in Iron Man. And now, thanks to advances by companies like OpenAI, we’re closer than ever to that sci-fi future. I’m blown away by how ChatGPT can understand context, remember facts, and have reasoned dialogue.

Last night, I returned to my radio presenter roots in terms of the style of the show. I think I’ll hang out in that space going forward. I’ll keep the chat lively, but in the chatbox, not on the stream. Here’s the playlist from last night I Melt with You...
What do you do when your co-host has the hump? Nothing you can do in those circumstances, but soldier on! In this episode, Clay introduces his intermittently crabby co-host to ‘geocache’ which Daniel clearly has trouble grasping, before the duo get into it over the American’s longstanding aversion to email....
I made this mixtape as a tribute to another fallen guitar hero – Eddie Van Halen.
A small gathering of people braved the rain to huddle around George Orwell’s grave in Sutton Courtenay to discuss current affairs of state, government and society. The big topic this year was Brexit and the aftermath of the general referendum. Tracklist 1984 – David Bowie Spies – Coldplay Talk Shows...
