Purring Kitty is an interesting-looking bit of software that’ll get your Nokia phone vibrating for as long as you like. Easily bought by SMS from within the UK, but it’s more expensive and more complicated from other countries. I like the idea, but I’m more interested in getting one of these, to be honest. And it won’t support Purring Kitty. How boring of me, huh? (via Wired, via Jane, who has used a game accessory in a similar manner)

Whenever I give talks about ChatGPT and LLMs, whether to ninth graders, businesses or journalists, I meet people who are hungry for information, who really want to understand this new technology. I’ve interpreted this as interest and a need to understand – […]
Having your own words processed and restated can help you improve your thinking and your writing. That’s one reason why talking with someone about your ideas can help you clarify your thoughts. ChatGPT is certainly no replacement for a knowledgable friend or colleague, […]
Like the rest of the internet, I’ve been playing with ChatGPT, the new AI chatbot released by OpenAI, and I’ve been fascinated by how much it does well and how it still gets a lot wrong. ChatGPT is a foundation model, that […]

I too want the P800! Maybe we should write a grant proposal on mobile blogging, which includes money for two P800s?

Yes, I know! I commented on the “boring” part of the post, but the rest I feel less secure about saying anything about, so I wont:-)

Why do you want to blog with *this* phone, rather than a Treo? Just curious…..
Jill
I don’t think they sell Treos in Europe? Or am I just out of touch? And though the idea of combining a Palm and a phone like the Treo does is brilliant, I’m hankering for the Sony Ericsson P800 because it also has a camera and an mp3-player and can record a bit of sound. I would *love* to have a camera with me all the time – and I hate having dozens of devices. And I like the idea of playing with mobility, sound, images and blogging…
