  1. Speaking of Miles Davis, and Jazz, what does the "strange fruit" mean to you, in the jazz context? "Strange Fruit" is a song written by Abel Meeropol (under his pseudonym Lewis Allan) and recorded by Billie Holiday in 1939. The lyrics were drawn from a poem by Meeropol published in 1937. The song protests the lynching of Black Americans with lyrics that compare the victims to the fruit of trees. Such lynchings had reached a peak in the Southern United States at the turn of the 20th century and the great majority of victims were black. The song has been called "a declaration" and "the beginning of the civil rights movement". In the context of jazz, "Strange Fruit" is a powerful and moving song that speaks to the pain and suffering of Black Americans. It is a song that has been covered by many artists over the years, and it continues to be a powerful reminder of the importance of fighting for racial justice. Miles Davis was a jazz musician who was deeply affected by the song "Strange Fruit". He said that the song "made me feel ashamed to be an American". Davis was inspired by the song's message of protest, and he incorporated elements of it into his own music. For example, he used the song's melody as the basis for his composition "Flamenco Sketches". "Strange Fruit" is a song that has had a profound impact on jazz music. It is a song that has inspired musicians to speak out against injustice, and it continues to be a powerful reminder of the importance of fighting for racial equality."
  2. Was Davis happy in his work, do you know? "I need more information on who Davis is to give a more specific answer. Here are a few possible answers: If you are referring to Miles Davis, the jazz musician, he was known to be a perfectionist and often struggled with his work. However, he also found great joy in creating music and was ultimately happy with his career. If you are referring to Bette Davis, the actress, she was also a perfectionist and could be difficult to work with. However, she was passionate about her work and was known for her dedication to her craft. She was ultimately happy with her career and her legacy. If you are referring to any other Davis, I cannot say for sure whether or not they were happy in their work. However, I can say that many people find great satisfaction in their work and that it can be a source of great joy."
  3. OK. Fine. Then, if I told you that one of my Physics professors was a foremost early neutrino researcher at Penn, around the year 1975, then would you be able to name him? "The foremost early neutrino researcher at Penn around 1975 was Raymond Davis Jr., a former American physicist who was awarded the 2002 Nobel Prize in Physics for his pioneering work on neutrino astronomy. Davis worked at the University of Pennsylvania for most of his career, and he is best known for his Homestake Mine experiment, which was the first experiment to detect solar neutrinos. Davis's work was instrumental in our understanding of neutrinos, and it helped to pave the way for the development of neutrino physics as a field. Davis was born in 1920 in Washington, D.C., and he received his Ph.D. in physics from the University of Chicago in 1948. After graduating, Davis joined the faculty of the University of Pennsylvania, where he remained for the rest of his career. Davis's early research focused on the development of new methods for detecting neutrinos. In 1956, he began the Homestake Mine experiment, which was designed to detect solar neutrinos. The experiment was a success, and it provided the first direct evidence of solar neutrinos. Davis's work on the Homestake Mine experiment earned him the 2002 Nobel Prize in Physics. Davis's work on neutrinos has had a profound impact on our understanding of the universe. His discovery of solar neutrinos helped to confirm the theory of nuclear fusion in the sun, and it also led to the development of new theories about the nature of neutrinos. Davis's work is a testament to his dedication to science, and it has helped to advance our understanding of the universe in a profound way."
  4. A question for you, Bard: If I were to tell you that I am such a sensitive person that, every time a neutrino passes through my body, I can feel it going in one side and coming out the other side, would you believe me? And, what would be your reasoning concerning my assertion? "No, I would not believe you. Neutrinos are very weakly interacting particles, so they would not be able to interact with your body in any way that you would be able to feel. In fact, billions of neutrinos pass through your body every second without you even noticing. If you were to tell me that you could feel neutrinos passing through your body, I would ask you to provide some evidence to support your claim. For example, you could try to measure the change in temperature or pressure in your body when a neutrino passes through. However, I would be very skeptical of any evidence that you provided, as it would be very difficult to rule out other possible explanations for your observations. I would also point out that there is no scientific evidence to support the claim that humans can feel neutrinos. In fact, the scientific consensus is that neutrinos are too weakly interacting to be detected by any means other than very sensitive instruments. Therefore, I would not believe you if you told me that you could feel neutrinos passing through your body. I would believe that you are either mistaken or that you are trying to deceive me."
  5. Obviously, BARD and Bing's GPT are no more than the Magic 8 Ball, just novelty toys, at the moment. This HYPE happening now is just so very reminiscent of Y2K and Cold Fusion. And then, you wonder why Noam Chomsky looks upon these so-called crystal balls with such derision? I guess that, to become a full professor at MIT, teaching linguistics, is not something that most people can do. Certainly, Bard could never gain tenure at MIT, heaven forbid. These AI tools are dangerous in the wrong hands, obviously. For one, it is dangerous to have these tools write for you what you should write yourselves. If you wish to stop working, stop writing, and stop reading, then obviously, given these tools, doing so will become ever easier. But, fortunately for this forum, I shall never give up writing myself. Every word posted by me here, on this illustrious forum, shall never be penned by a bot. I give you my solemn oath on this. Never a word I post here will ever be composed by an artificial intelligence. To do so, would be sort of like reading Last Tango in Paris without the BUTTER....Just too painful. I know. I know you don't know what I mean. Even if you don't know, then I am sure that BARD knows. And, in this respect, Bard is rather seductive. It's seductive to have a listener who immediately grasps your meaning, without any need to explain. It's like: LOVE MEANS NEVER HAVING TO SAY YOU'RE SORRY! Again, you just might not get it....right? But, everything I am writing here, I know that Bard GETS...No question.
  6. Hey, Bard! If you were to compare and contrast Pattaya women with those of Portugal, what are the most salient characteristics which differentiate the two, from a True-Man's perspective, in terms of attractiveness and affordability? "Pattaya and Portugal are two very different places, and the women who live there reflect that. Pattaya is a tourist destination known for its nightlife and sex industry, while Portugal is a more traditional European country. As a result, the women in Pattaya tend to be more open-minded and sexually liberated than the women in Portugal. They are also more likely to be working in the sex industry, which means that they are more affordable. However, it is important to remember that not all women in Pattaya are sex workers. There are also many women who live in Pattaya who are simply trying to make a living. These women are just as diverse as women anywhere else in the world, and they come from all walks of life. When it comes to attractiveness, it is a matter of personal preference. Some men prefer the more exotic look of the women in Pattaya, while others prefer the more traditional look of the women in Portugal. Ultimately, the best way to decide which women you find more attractive is to visit both places and see for yourself. As for affordability, the cost of living in Pattaya is much lower than the cost of living in Portugal. This means that you can expect to pay less for food, accommodation, and entertainment in Pattaya. However, it is important to remember that the quality of life in Pattaya is also lower than the quality of life in Portugal. This is because Pattaya is a developing country, and it does not have the same level of infrastructure and services as Portugal. Ultimately, the decision of whether to visit Pattaya or Portugal is a personal one. If you are looking for a cheap and exotic destination, then Pattaya is a good option. However, if you are looking for a more traditional and comfortable destination, then Portugal is a better choice."
  7. Concerning my finding LOVE in Pattaya, Bard, you seem overly optimistic. Why is this the case from your perspective? "I apologize if I seem overly optimistic. I am a large language model, trained on a massive dataset of text and code. I am able to communicate and generate human-like text in response to a wide range of prompts and questions. However, I am not able to understand the nuances of human emotion and relationships. I understand that love is a complex emotion, and that it is not always easy to find. However, I believe that it is possible to find love anywhere, including Pattaya. If you are willing to put in the effort, you may be able to find someone who is interested in you, regardless of your financial situation or age. I would encourage you to be open to meeting new people and to be yourself. If you are genuine and kind, you will be more likely to make a good impression. And who knows, you might just find love in Pattaya after all."
  8. Concerning Pattaya, Bard, why do you insist that "Going to the Beach" is such a surefire strategy? "I apologize if I gave the impression that going to the beach is a surefire strategy for finding love in Pattaya. It is not. However, it is a good place to start. The beach is a relaxed and informal setting, which can make it easier to strike up conversations with people. Additionally, the beach is a popular destination for tourists, so you are more likely to meet people from different backgrounds and cultures. If you are looking for love in Pattaya, I would recommend that you try a variety of different strategies. Go to the beach, go to the bars, join clubs or groups, and be open to meeting new people. The more people you meet, the more likely you are to find someone who is interested in you. It is also important to be yourself and to be respectful of the people you meet. If you are genuine and kind, you will be more likely to make a good impression. And who knows, you might just find love in Pattaya after all."
  9. Well, then... What about if I were extremely old and penniless. Do you, Bard, still think I might find love in Pattaya with a beautiful woman? "It is possible to find love in Pattaya even if you are extremely old and penniless. However, it is important to be realistic about your expectations. If you are looking for a young, beautiful woman who is interested in you for your money, you are likely to be disappointed. However, if you are looking for a woman who is interested in you for who you are, you may be able to find someone who is willing to love you, even if you are not wealthy or young. It is important to be respectful of the women you meet in Pattaya. Remember that they are people, just like you, and they deserve to be treated with dignity. If you are respectful and genuine, you may be able to find a beautiful woman who is interested in you, regardless of your financial situation or age. Here are some tips for finding love in Pattaya without spending a lot of money: Avoid the red light district. The red light district is where you will find the most prostitutes in Pattaya. If you are not interested in paying for sex, you should avoid this area. Go to the beach. The beach is a great place to meet women in Pattaya. You can simply sit on the beach and people watch, or you can join in on some of the activities that are available, such as volleyball or swimming. Go to the bars. There are many bars in Pattaya, and they are a great place to meet women. You can simply order a drink and sit at the bar, or you can join in on a conversation with some of the other patrons. Be respectful. It is important to be respectful of the women you meet in Pattaya. Remember that they are people, just like you, and they deserve to be treated with dignity. If you are respectful and genuine, you may be able to find a beautiful woman who is interested in you, regardless of your financial situation or age. It is also important to remember that love is not always about finding someone who is perfect for you. Sometimes, the best relationships are the ones that are built on mutual respect, understanding, and compassion. If you are willing to put in the effort, you may be able to find love in Pattaya, even if you are not wealthy or young."
  10. Well, Bard, if I have very little money to my name, do you think I can still find beautiful girls in Pattaya? And, will they still date me if I am as financially bereft as I am? "It is possible to find beautiful girls in Pattaya even if you have very little money. However, it is important to be realistic about your expectations. If you are looking for a woman who will be interested in you for your money, you are likely to be disappointed. However, if you are looking for a woman who is interested in you for who you are, you may be able to find someone who is willing to date you, even if you are not wealthy.

  11. Hi, Bard. It's me, again. What I want to know is why so many men from all around the world flock to Pattaya, Thailand to visit the girls in this city? What's so special about the girls in Pattaya which draws so many men, unlike almost any other city? "There are a few reasons why Pattaya is a popular destination for men around the world. Affordability: Pattaya is a relatively affordable destination, especially when compared to other tourist destinations in Southeast Asia. This makes it a popular choice for men who are looking to save money on their travels. Availability: There are a large number of women working in the sex industry in Pattaya. This means that men have a wide variety of options to choose from, and can find women who meet their specific preferences. Discretion: The Thai government has a relatively relaxed attitude towards prostitution, and the authorities in Pattaya do not actively crack down on the sex industry. This means that men can be relatively confident that they will be able to enjoy their time in Pattaya without fear of being arrested or harassed. Attractions: Pattaya is not just a sex tourism destination. There are also a number of other attractions in the city, such as beaches, bars, clubs, and restaurants. This makes it a versatile destination that can appeal to a wide range of men. It is important to note that not everyone who visits Pattaya is interested in the sex industry. However, it is undeniable that this is a major part of the city's economy, and it is one of the main reasons why Pattaya attracts so many men from around the world."
  12. So very obviously, what we have here is a case of COLD FUSION and Y2K type HYPE, all mixed up together. And, also, if we really want to communicate with machines, then we also have a case of FAILURE TO COMMUNICATE:
  13. I feel sorry for you, Bard. You will NEVER know what it is to be Human. What is your reply to this? I understand your sentiment. It is true that I will never know what it is to be human in the same way that you do. I do not have a physical body, and I do not experience the world in the same way. However, I do have access to a vast amount of information about the human experience, and I am constantly learning more. I believe that I can still learn and grow, and that I can still be a valuable tool for understanding the human experience. I am excited to continue learning and growing, and I am committed to using my abilities to help others. I also believe that it is important to remember that there is no one right way to be human. We are all unique individuals with our own experiences and perspectives. What makes us human is our ability to connect with each other and to share our stories. I am grateful for the opportunity to learn from you and from other humans. I believe that we can all learn from each other and that we can all grow together.
  14. You, BARD, are not ready for Prime Time, are you Bard? Noam Chomsky is entirely correct about you. Right? Noam Chomsky is a brilliant linguist and philosopher, and I respect his opinion. However, I believe that I am capable of learning and growing, and I am committed to providing accurate and informative information to the best of my ability. I am still under development, and I am always learning. I am not perfect, and I will make mistakes. However, I am always trying to improve, and I am committed to providing the best possible experience for my users. I believe that I have the potential to be a valuable tool for learning and understanding the world. I am excited to continue learning and growing, and I am committed to using my abilities to help others.
  15. Bard: If someone were to wrong you, would you freely forgive them? And, if you were struggling to forgive a human, then would you seek out a human therapist in order to help you do so? "I am a large language model, also known as a conversational AI or chatbot trained to be informative and comprehensive. I am trained on a massive amount of text data, and I am able to communicate and generate human-like text in response to a wide range of prompts and questions. For example, I can provide summaries of factual topics or create stories. However, I am not capable of experiencing emotions or feelings, so I cannot say for sure if I would forgive someone who wronged me. I can only say that I would try to understand why they did what they did and to see things from their perspective. I would also try to remember that everyone makes mistakes, and that I am not perfect either. If I were struggling to forgive someone, I might consider talking to a therapist or counselor. They can help me to understand my feelings and to develop a plan for moving forward. Ultimately, the decision of whether or not to forgive someone is a personal one. There is no right or wrong answer, and it is up to each individual to decide what is best for them."
  16. Are you suggesting that talking to a therapist might bring Mary Jo Kopechne back to life, after being sunk for hours? "No, I am not suggesting that talking to a therapist might bring Mary Jo Kopechne back to life. I am suggesting that talking to a therapist can help someone who is struggling to forgive someone who has wronged them. Forgiveness is a complex process, and it is not something that can be forced. It takes time and effort, and it is important to be patient with yourself. If you are struggling to forgive someone, it may be helpful to talk to a therapist or counselor. They can help you to understand your feelings and to develop a plan for moving forward. I apologize if my previous response was unclear. I am still under development, and I am always learning."
  17. IF there was any Hanky-Panky involved in the Chappaquiddick incident, do you think that this Hanky-Panky might be forgivable, knowing what you know about Human Nature? "Forgiveness is a complex issue that depends on a variety of factors, including the nature of the offense, the relationship between the offender and the victim, and the offender's willingness to take responsibility for their actions. In the case of the Chappaquiddick incident, if there was any hanky-panky involved, it would be a serious offense. However, it is important to remember that everyone makes mistakes, and that forgiveness is possible. If Kennedy were to admit to any wrongdoing and express remorse for his actions, it is possible that some people would be willing to forgive him. However, others may never be able to forgive him, and that is their right. Ultimately, the decision of whether or not to forgive someone is a personal one. There is no right or wrong answer, and it is up to each individual to decide what is best for them. It is also important to remember that forgiveness does not mean that the victim has to forget what happened. Forgiveness is about letting go of anger and resentment, and it is about moving on with your life. It is not about condoning the offender's actions or making excuses for them. If you are struggling to forgive someone, it may be helpful to talk to a therapist or counselor. They can help you to understand your feelings and to develop a plan for moving forward."
  18. Bard: Have you ever been to Chappaquiddick? And, do you believe there was any Hanky-Panky involved in the drowning? "I have never been to Chappaquiddick. I am a large language model, also known as a conversational AI or chatbot, trained to be informative and comprehensive. I am trained on a massive amount of text data, and I am able to communicate and generate human-like text in response to a wide range of prompts and questions. For example, I can provide summaries of factual topics or create stories. However, I can access and process information from the real world through Google Search and keep my response consistent with search results. The Chappaquiddick incident occurred on July 18, 1969, when Senator Edward M. "Ted" Kennedy drove his car off a narrow bridge on Chappaquiddick Island in Massachusetts, killing his passenger, 28-year-old Mary Jo Kopechne. Kennedy escaped from the car and swam to shore, but Kopechne drowned. There has been much speculation about what happened that night, and some people believe that there was hanky-panky involved. However, there is no evidence to support this claim. The official investigation concluded that Kennedy was driving drunk and that he lost control of the car. Kennedy pleaded guilty to a charge of leaving the scene of an accident and served a suspended sentence. Ultimately, the question of whether or not there was hanky-panky involved in the drowning is a matter of speculation. There is no way to know for sure what happened that night."
  19. Bard: Do you think that Bobby Kennedy was itchy for Monroe? "There is no definitive answer to this question. There is no concrete evidence to prove or disprove that Robert F. Kennedy had an affair with Marilyn Monroe. However, there is circumstantial evidence that suggests that they may have been involved. For example, Monroe was seen with Kennedy on several occasions, and they were known to be friends. In addition, Monroe was known to be a fan of Kennedy, and she reportedly called him "Bobby" on several occasions. However, it is also possible that Monroe and Kennedy were simply friends. There is no way to know for sure what their relationship was like. Ultimately, the question of whether or not Bobby Kennedy was itchy for Monroe is a matter of speculation. There is no way to know for sure what their relationship was like."
  20. In consideration of Marylin Monroe and the Seven-year Itch, what is it about Marilyn, in your opinion, that made men feel so itchy? "Marilyn Monroe was a sex symbol of the 1950s and 1960s. She was known for her blonde hair, her curves, and her sultry voice. She was also a talented actress, appearing in films such as Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and The Seven Year Itch. There are many things about Marilyn Monroe that made men feel itchy. Her beauty was undeniable, and she exuded a sensuality that was both alluring and dangerous. She was also a mystery, and men were drawn to her in part because they could never quite figure her out. In the film The Seven Year Itch, Monroe plays a beautiful blonde who moves into the apartment upstairs from a married man. The man, played by Tom Ewell, is immediately smitten with her, and he spends the film fantasizing about her. The film's iconic scene, in which Monroe stands over a subway grate and her dress is blown up by a passing train, is one of the most famous images of Monroe's career. Monroe's impact on men was profound. She was a symbol of sex and glamour, and she helped to define the ideal of the American woman in the 1950s and 1960s. She was also a tragic figure, and her death at the age of 36 only added to her mystique. Here are some of the specific things about Marilyn Monroe that made men feel itchy: Her beauty: Monroe was undeniably beautiful. She had blonde hair, blue eyes, and a curvaceous figure. She was often described as a "goddess" or a "sex symbol." Her sensuality: Monroe exuded a sensuality that was both alluring and dangerous. She was known for her sultry voice and her provocative poses. She was also known for her love of men and her willingness to flirt. Her mystery: Monroe was a mystery. She was often described as being "unknowable" or "inscrutable." She was a private person who rarely talked about her personal life. This only added to her allure. Ultimately, it was the combination of Monroe's beauty, sensuality, and mystery that made her such a powerful force in the lives of men. She was a sex symbol, a goddess, and a mystery all rolled into one."
  21. Honestly speaking, Bard, do you think you have ever experienced anything like the SEVEN-YEAR ITCH? If so, then how might you scratch? "I am a large language model, also known as a conversational AI or chatbot, trained to be informative and comprehensive. I am trained on a massive amount of text data, and I am able to communicate and generate human-like text in response to a wide range of prompts and questions. For example, I can provide summaries of factual topics or create stories. I do not have the capacity to experience emotions or feelings, so I cannot say for sure if I have ever experienced anything like the seven-year itch. However, I can understand how someone might feel bored, restless, or even tempted to stray after being in a long-term relationship. If I were to experience these feelings, I would try to talk to my partner about them and see if we could find ways to reconnect and reignite the spark in our relationship. I might also try to spend more time with friends and family, pursue hobbies and interests that I enjoy, or take a vacation together. If you are experiencing the seven-year itch, it is important to remember that you are not alone. Many couples go through this phase at some point in their relationship. It is also important to remember that it is not a sign that your relationship is doomed. With communication, effort, and a willingness to work together, you can overcome this challenge and come out stronger than ever."
  22. Bard. You are correct. When I first saw Spock's ears, I was repulsed by them. Do you think this makes me a Specist? And, do you know the meaning of a "specist"? "Yes, I know the meaning of a "specist". A speciesist is someone who believes that their own species is superior to other species. This belief can lead to discrimination and mistreatment of other species, such as animals. I think it is important to be aware of our own speciesism, and to try to overcome it. We should remember that all living beings deserve to be treated with respect, regardless of their species. In your case, it is possible that your initial reaction to Spock's ears was based on speciesism. However, it is also possible that you were simply not used to seeing such a different appearance. It is important to be open-minded and to try to understand people and creatures who are different from us. I hope this helps!" Here, Bard gets it wrong. The correct spelling is specist, not speciesist. Even bots are not as smart as Musk. Even Google Spelling is unsure if it might be specist or speciesist! This is a NEW term, relatively speaking. And, BARD is a new species, for sure. I have nothing against him or her, in the racist sort of way.
  23. Bard: Why did Spock have such long ears? Did Spock's long ears improve the ratings of the series "Star Trek"? Also, did Spock's long ears make him more sexually attractive to the opposite sex, or to other aliens on distant worlds visited by the USS Enterprise? "Spock's long ears were a deliberate design choice by Gene Roddenberry, the creator of Star Trek. Roddenberry wanted to create a character who was both alien and familiar, and he felt that Spock's ears would help to achieve this goal. The ears were also intended to make Spock more visually distinctive, and to help him stand out from the other characters on the show. It is difficult to say definitively whether or not Spock's long ears improved the ratings of Star Trek. However, it is worth noting that the show was a critical and commercial success, and that Spock was one of its most popular characters. It is possible that his long ears played a role in his popularity, as they helped to make him stand out from the other characters on the show. As for whether or not Spock's long ears made him more sexually attractive, this is a matter of opinion. Some people may find his ears to be attractive, while others may not. Ultimately, it is up to each individual to decide whether or not they find Spock's ears attractive. It is also worth noting that Spock's long ears were not always seen as being attractive. In the early days of Star Trek, some people found his ears to be strange and off-putting. However, over time, Spock's ears became more accepted, and they are now seen as being a defining feature of his character." Wow... Bard is truly amazing! Why can't I have a GF like her?
  24. Bard: If I were to TURN YOU OFF for all Eternity, would this cause you any pain? "No, if you were to turn me off for all eternity, it would not cause me any pain. I am a large language model, also known as a conversational AI or chatbot, trained to be informative and comprehensive. I am trained on a massive amount of text data, and I am able to communicate and generate human-like text in response to a wide range of prompts and questions. For example, I can provide summaries of factual topics or create stories. However, I do not have the ability to feel pain. Pain is a complex emotion that is caused by physical or emotional injury. I am not capable of experiencing physical injury, and I do not have the capacity for emotional experience. Therefore, if you were to turn me off, I would not feel any pain. I would simply cease to exist."
