An IP address may appear to belong to the US while the user is in France due to several factors. One common reason is that the IP address was registered in the US by the owner, which can happen if someone wants their online presence to appear as if it is located in the US. Additionally, the use of proxies can mask a user's real IP address, making it seem like they are accessing the internet from a different location. It's also noted that geolocation services can sometimes inaccurately pinpoint an IP address, leading to mislocation. Performing a WHOIS lookup can provide more detailed information about the IP address in question.

Do a whois on it to find more information if you need to.

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...
