AI Thread Summary
To access a backup of a Firefox session from an external hard drive, users can locate the sessionstore.js file, which is typically saved in JSON format. This file contains the necessary data to restore previous sessions. The process is confirmed to work effectively for retrieving past configurations. Additionally, since Flock operates similarly to Firefox, the same method can be applied for Flock users looking to restore their sessions.

Thread 'ChatGPT Examples, Good and Bad'

I've been experimenting with ChatGPT. Some results are good, some very very bad. I think examples can help expose the properties of this AI. Maybe you can post some of your favorite examples and tell us what they reveal about the properties of this AI. (I had problems with copy/paste of text and formatting, so I'm posting my examples as screen shots. That is a promising start. :smile: But then I provided values V=1, R1=1, R2=2, R3=3 and asked for the value of I. At first, it said...
