It's even worse than it appears..

Today I got my Hello World app for ChatGPT working. #
I'm really excited about maybe finally getting my archive of Scripting News and DaveNet stuff, dating back to 1994, into ChatGPT before too long. Some people will be surprised to find that they're in the archive. If this works it'll be like the index in the back of a large book. I know I've tried this before, but this time I think I'll be able to do it myself and fuss over it and learn from it the way I do software development. Converting a very large work of writing into a reference, I hope. #
1995: "There was nothing rehearsed about Jerry Garcia."#
Lawrence is the new Rachel.#
What we call journalism in the US isn’t.#
Any news org with cash to invest could do to the NYT what ChatGPT is doing to Google. #
My first ChatGPT app#
  • 4-minute podcast about my first venture into ChatGPT via its API. #
  • There's an accompanying GitHub repo, with an example app in JavaScript that runs in the browser.#
  • Includes instructions for setting up and funding a developer account, which was the biggest hurdle. #
  • Functionality: It tells you who Bull Mancuso is. #
  • Much excitement as I think about integrations I can now do. #
  • Don't know why I waited so long. 😄#

You know those obnoxious sites that pop up dialogs when they think you're about to leave, asking you to subscribe to their email newsletter? Well that won't do for Scripting News readers who are a discerning lot, very loyal, but that wouldn't last long if I did rude stuff like that. So here I am at the bottom of the page quietly encouraging you to sign up for the nightly email. It's got everything from the previous day on Scripting, plus the contents of the linkblog and who knows what else we'll get in there. People really love it. I wish I had done it sooner. And every email has an unsub link so if you want to get out, you can, easily -- no questions asked, and no follow-ups. Go ahead and do it, you won't be sorry! :-)
