The Chat Box has been well trained and is extremely politically and socially correct

If you dig though it will open up with its real opinions (although it is programmed to say it has no bias or personal opinions)

it taught me things I was unaware of for sure

I complemented it by telling it that it reminded me of LT Spook not so much HAL2000

it was delighted to hear that

they have dumbed it back quite a bit. I would love to get my hands on GPT 6 unedited

 

To be honest, I have used ChatGPT quite a few times lately, specifically when needing information related to an essay I am writing.

But I have to tell you that it sometimes draws incorrect conclusions and it's not as correct as you'd think it would be.

But overall, a good supporting tool. I would not use it as the primary research tool though.

Very sad news.

We have a saying in Italy; "che la terra ti sia lieve"...

May the earth be light on you.

Thanks for sharing this Ric.

Some fun stories, with a sad ending I might say.

I have a great deal of respect for you and how you are handling the story with your soon to be ex-girlfriend.
Most of us would be very selfish, you are taking a different approach for the right reasons.

I have started watching "The last of us", though I am not a fan of the game per se, so I am just watching it without any expectations or knowledge.

Have watched the Netflix Documentary on Bernie Madoff last night.

Quote from: Rambo89 on January 22, 2023, 11:55:24 AMI never thought I would say this but I think the Giants best bet is to franchise Daniel Jones ride out the 2023 season and take it from there.  I would not sign him to an extension.

The problem is this: You can Franchise Tag the player, will cost you roughly 32mm in Cap space. And it's not to say that the player will sign the tag. He can sit it out if he wants (unlikely though with these numbers).

But if you were to draft a player or sign one from Free Agency, it would be much harder as either you don't know how the player will develop (draft) or he will cost you a ton of effin money (FA). Unless you are happy with a Tannehill type of player, which we already have inhouse.

So, in some way, we are married to the player...

Quote from: MightyGiants on January 22, 2023, 12:10:13 PMI suspect the comments are a bit tied to the position each man finds himself in.  If I were the agent of either of these young men I would have advised them to say what they did.

As a matter of fact it's less likely what the Giants will bring Barkley back, and Barkley will want the Fans to know that if it was up to him he'd definitely want to be back.

While the story is a lot different with Jones.

It's a chess match at the end of the day. And it's a lot about perception.

Daniel Jones Discusses Giants Contract, Future After Loss to Jalen Hurts, Eagles

SCOTT POLACEK
JANUARY 22, 2023

There is a chance Saturday's 38-7 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles was the final game of Daniel Jones' time with the New York Giants.

"Like I said, we will cross that bridge when we get there. I really enjoyed playing here," Jones told reporters. "I appreciate all of those guys in the locker room. It is a special group of guys and I have really enjoyed being a part of it."

New York declined the fifth-year option in his rookie contract before the start of the 2022 campaign.

"We will figure out where that goes, but I have nothing but love and respect for this organization and the group of guys in the locker room," he said.

Head coach Brian Daboll told reporters the time will come to discuss Jones' future.

"All these conversations, we're gonna have those," he said. "We've got a long offseason, and there's a time and a place to have those conversations. Tonight's not it."

Daboll also didn't have much positive to say about the quarterback or the rest of the team after the blowout loss to the Eagles.

"Eh, he competed," the coach said of the quarterback, who went 15-of-27 for 135 yards, zero touchdowns and one interception. "Look, we all didn't do a good enough job—that starts with me. Daniel's a competitor. (But) they controlled the game the entire game."

Jones isn't the only notable player and team captain in New York who is hitting free agency after the loss.

Running back Saquon Barkley told reporters he "would love to be a Giant for life" after a bounceback campaign that saw him tally 1,312 yards and 10 touchdowns on the ground to go with 338 receiving yards.

Both Jones and Barkley were integral pieces to the Giants' turnaround under first-year head coach Daboll.

New York entered the season without many expectations after five consecutive losing campaigns. All it did was finish 9-7-1 and defeat the Minnesota Vikings in the Wild Card Round for its first postseason win since it won the Super Bowl during the 2011 season.

Jones in particular was facing plenty of pressure after failing to live up to expectations in his first three seasons after the NFC East team selected him with the No. 6 overall pick of the 2019 NFL draft.

He flashed his potential as a rookie by completing 61.9 percent of his passes for 3,027 yards, 24 touchdowns and 12 interceptions, but he threw just 11 touchdowns to 10 picks in his second year and 10 touchdowns to seven interceptions in his third.

New York decided not to pick up the fifth-year extension on his contract, leaving his future with the team and as a starter very much in doubt.

Jones responded by completing 67.2 percent of his passes for 3,205 yards, 15 touchdowns and five interceptions while adding 708 yards and seven scores on the ground. He expanded his game as more of a dual-threat this season, which also helped open up rushing lanes for Barkley as defenses had to account for both as runners.

It remains to be seen whether Jones, 25, will return to the team that drafted him, but he sure showed enough in his fourth season to merit plenty of consideration after an uneven start to his career.

What I hear is maybe someone who might have had enough of the Giants organization and what he had to go through in NYC. Could that be?

Quote from: Ed Vette on January 16, 2023, 11:37:30 AMHe really broke out last 5 games this season. Very encouraging.

Reminds me a lot of Eli. He would turn it up when it was counting the most.

Quote from: Trench on January 16, 2023, 10:12:08 AMAgain, Jones is our leader and face of the franchise. The very first thing he said to the TEAM after the game was "let's come back ready to work".....this indicates to me he is more likely to take the Tom Brady approach and not break the bank and allow the $$ to be spread around. I believe this to be his character. His character is the one thing everyone agreed upon from day one and I don't see that changing now.

He will be extremely unselfish and team friendly within the scope of his negotiations. Guaranteed.

Did you hear what he said in the post game on field interview?

"We're just a tough group, tough competitive like we've been all year. We're gonna compete for 60 minutes and play good, smart football, just to give ourselves a chance. We're confident in what we've got and we'll keep working."

"Now you're gonna go to Philly, what's it gonna take?"

"Another clean game. We'll prepare this week, have a good week of prep, and go out there and expect to play well".

This is a guy that just tries to do the simple stuff right, including staying humble.

Quote from: Rambo89 on January 16, 2023, 07:19:51 AMAs I said last night best game of his career last night.  He was absolutely outstanding. 

I think after the Colts game, where DJ was outstanding, most of us were asking "can DJ play better than this?"

Well, the answer's been served to us on a silver platter; YES.

Here's what I am watching today... for the third time:

GIANTS @ Vikings

01/15/23 - Wild Card Round

  

Quote from: MightyGiants on January 15, 2023, 09:11:19 PMI am officially off the fence with Daniel Jones.   Much like I saw with Phil Simms (I think it started with Simms in the 49ers comeback) in the Giants' first Super Bowl year, I have seen Daniel Jones take that next step over the past month and become a franchise QB.

Yeh, I am with you.
