@myqkaplan The little dino that could is a "TRY-ceratops".

It fell in love with a cantaloupe seed. The seed didn't understood why, but it said, "You're one in a melon!"

@colonialfilings 2018 news?

[Eric E. Cohen @cybercpa]

@AutomationAnywh There is an event in 25 minutes for this company specializing in RPA and AI ... but there reminder system is running amok and sending reminder messages more and more frequently. Attended bots benefit from human monitoring.

I saw a post claiming costs of using OpenAI's API for German prompts/responses are double those of English.

Made me think: How do tokens and CPT (cost per token) change with double-byte languages (JP, CN)?

Are there arbitrage opportunities to translate prompts and responses?

For every "I have taken over your computer, send me Bitcoin" threat, I receive, I get three "My CPA just died and I need you to prepare my taxes" emails. I wonder if all those CPAs died of embarrassment when someone told them they had taken control of their computer?

I receive so many emails from people saying they've installed spyware on my computer and are capturing everything I do on my webcam, I'm hoping I can crowdsource out my work to them. If nothing else, perhaps I can talk about XBRL when visiting those "special sites" they mention.

Interested in #ChatGPT and friends, but concerned you may open yourself or your organization to security risks? The Cloud #Security Alliance has published "Security Implications of ChatGPT".

It was my great pleasure to collaborate w @cloudsa on this.

@kbind3 Quick answer - OpenAI's basic ChatGPT can already create XBRL instance documents from a simple text prompt. So if it can't analyze XBRL fully today (it is just a LLM of course), there is little question it can do so in the near future.

@myqkaplan ChatGPT's follow up jokes:

"Jokes on them: my eyebrows are my secret weapon. They distract the audience from my jokes and give me that extra comedic edge." #EyebrowPower"

"Why did the comedian refuse Botox injections? He didn't want to raise any eyebrows... except his own!"

@myqkaplan But if they make you eat your watch, they make YOU the time consumer.

@blanknote If there are honest questions about the ability of XBRL GL to represent internal details, financial or not, qualitative or quantitative, historical or predictive, I'm glad to try to help as objectively as possible. XBRL GL is meant to be the DNA of ERP.

[Eric E. Cohen @cybercpa]

I guess not. I was interested in the person who said they were trying to manipulate ChatGPT to do what they wanted; sounds like a non trivial percentage of human interactions. I know a number of people who won't go into a human interaction without knowing the ends they want.

@cybercpa We're not alone apparently.

[Eric E. Cohen @cybercpa]

Does anyone else feel guilty just closing ChatGPT down after a session? I always want to say thank you, as it without fail helps me with anything I throw at it (whether completely accurate or not).
