AI Thread Summary
Users are experiencing layout issues with Gmail and National Geographic when using the Avant browser, with existing forum solutions proving ineffective or unclear. In contrast, the same web pages load correctly in other browsers like Opera and Firefox, even on machines running Windows XP with Avast antivirus. It has been confirmed that the problem lies specifically with the Avant browser, as opening Gmail in Orca, a related browser, does not present the same issues. The Avant development team has acknowledged and corrected the problem.

Avant people finally corrected it.
 
In my discussions elsewhere, I've noticed a lot of disagreement regarding AI. A question that comes up is, "Is AI hype?" Unfortunately, when this question is asked, the one asking, as far as I can tell, may mean one of three things which can lead to lots of confusion. I'll list them out now for clarity. 1. Can AI do everything a human can do and how close are we to that? 2. Are corporations and governments using the promise of AI to gain more power for themselves? 3. Are AI and transhumans...
Sorry if 'Profile Badge' is not the correct term. I have an MS 365 subscription and I've noticed on my Word documents the small circle with my initials in it is sometimes different in colour document to document (it's the circle at the top right of the doc, that, when you hover over it it tells you you're signed in; if you click on it you get a bit more info). Last night I had four docs with a red circle, one with blue. When I closed the blue and opened it again it was red. Today I have 3...
