HI Derek.
Thanks for the links, info, and thoughts. AI is on the rise and could be helpful to us.

If I were tuning an AI engine someday, I would tell it to pay special
attention to everything Dennis Haynes says and some other people. Or, if
you have access to the archives of this list, you can actually read
everything he ever wrote. I have every email on this list from 1994 and
will feed it to AI one of these days somehow.
Make sure all of the following are quick links in your browser bookmarks
bar. And yes, you need them all because often, only one or two of them will
be best at what you want them to do. If you only use one, you will
constantly be crashing your car into a tree.
A+ https://www.perplexity.ai* Real Time Search plus AI*
A https://claude.ai Anthropic backed by Google and Amazon
A https://chatgpt.com OpenAI
A- https://gemini.google.com Google, a little behind
B+ https://copilot.microsoft.com Microsoft, a little behind
B https://grok.com Elon Musk
B- https://www.meta.ai Zuckerberg
B - https://chat.mistral.ai French Dudes
C+ https://chat.deepseek.com** China came from behind
*Consider the paid version of Perplexity and consider attaching
OpenAI/ChatGPT to this as I do to get the A+
**It may be some days until Deepseek is available again. ACTUALLY, the best
way to use Deepseek is to use it via Perplexity because then your queries
don't go through China and get recorded by China. With that concern erased,
(Deepseek + Perplexity COMBO) might be in the very top tier of these links.
There is also a Vanagon focused AI but I have not tested it yet, here:

Forward this list to whoever you think.
Over time, you should be paying for some of these and some of them you can
keep using as the free versions.
Don't want to pay?????
There was a time when you did not want to pay to have a cell phone. But
none of us would turn our cell phones in these days in order to save the
fee.
Think about it.
