investigating AI more and more which is scary
Yeah, at this point it is pointless trying to bury my head in the sand when ti comes to AI. I have been playing about with it. I signed up to Claude Pro and I have had it ‘vibe code’ (horrible term), a website or two just to see what it can do. It wouldn’t be something that I would publish (and if I did, I wouldn’t be making money from it).
GenAI is still a bit no-no.
Things are quiet otherwise. Keeping my head down and staying busy. 
Haven’t been on in a bit … so … obviously I’ve been busy 
Work is work … investigating AI more and more which is scary
Trying to get my head around a song on the piano so I could sing and play it
Cooking too much as usual.
Thinking of starting a silly little coding project but no idea if I’ll find time
you?

Cross posting is now available to everyone (as part of the newest NodeBB update). Go into any thread, and click “Cross post Topic” and select where it should be cross posted to. Example below.
Fixed emoji on posts. And the ability to create emoji’s by typing :star: has also been fixed.
The ability to ‘Spoiler’ text has been removed as it was broken. It may return in the future.
Cross post Example:
In @music, you will see the Video Game Music thread.
In the thread, click Crosspost Topic on the right
Here, you would select the category that you wish to cross post to.
Select the topic and click Cross-post
And the post is now crossed over to the Gaming section.
At the moment, there is no ‘permissions’ for this, so this will be monitored until permissions become available.
