Just realized that @ZachWeinersmith fully predicted ChatGPT with this 2014 comic (if he's already pointed this out, my bad): https://www.smbc-comics.com/index.php?db=comics&id=3576

OK, language weirdness question.

Someone recently said:

"I just about caught the train."

Did they catch it or not? Perhaps it depends whether you think of English as (one of) your first language(s).

As always, if you're happy to do so I'd be grateful if you'd boost for reach, and to get beyond my circle of followers.

Thank you!

The container I used to hold coffee beans broke, so I made this. First I cut and glued discs of alder, walnut, maple, then turned and finished. I succeeded in something I have failed at many times before -- making a tight lid.

I love, love, love, love my friends who work in cybersecurity awareness training - and it remains a critical part of defense in depth, but imagine if (normal, not cleared) employees had to consistently and broadly take other awareness training to stop other tactics of criminals and spies all by themselves.
