Has PW been infiltrated by ChatGPT? |

Recently, while reading an article titled "AI is ruining the internet” I had to wonder, is PW being influenced, infiltrated, by ChatGPT?
The reason I ask is that I am not convinced some of our more recent additions are actual brick and mortar, flesh and blood, individuals. In fact, when presented with a long list of clues, embedded in conversations, posts, it seems plausible that we have a chatbot amongst us.
Just an observation. But with each post, with each response, it seems we have “someone” or something really, that knows how to search the net to compose responses, but is wholly without any personal references, and is completely taken aback whenever confronted with references that return no search results.
Should be fun going forward as we adjust to a world filled with lifeless bots posing as people. Oh boy.

Punatang has a good idea and solution to the pesky “I don’t like that thread at the top of the list” problem, so I thought I’d take it one step further and give it a title.
Want to see something that is (so far) not unpleasant at the top of the Punaweb thread list?
Click this thread title. write “bump”, or a haiku, or whatever you’re thinking to yourself while waiting for that long red light at the top of Shower Drive and Highway 130. Share it with the world!
“I wish I had one of those ambulance clickers that turns a stoplight from red to green… I wonder if Amazon… oh, thank God, it finally changed!”

End of an Era - the Jagger Museum & Observatory is no more |

"This morning was the last time the sun will ever rise over the former Hawaiian Volcano Observatory Tower as it looked out on the hardened lava field inside Kaluapele, the caldera of Kīlauea, from the edge of the crater.
Crews began demolishing the structure at 9 a.m. today, bringing an end to an era on Uēkahuna Bluff at the Big Island volcano’s summit inside Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park.
“Workers took less than an hour Friday morning to drop and dismantle the … Hawaiian Volcano Observatory … Observation Tower,” wrote Jessica Ferracane, the national park’s spokeswoman, in a Facebook post for the park Friday with photos of the tower being dismantled.
The tower was the last remnant of the observatory’s former facilities, which — along with the adjacent former Jaggar Museum — were severely damaged beyond repair by thousands of earthquakes that accompanied the 2018 Kīlauea eruption, lava flow and summit collapse." (article has much more at link)
Any memorable experiences to share? Watching Travis get chased down and tased for operating a drone at the overlook was something else, but I'm guessing others might have more meaningful memories.

There is a leak in our single bathroom around the base of the toilet. Apparently floor needs to be reinforced/partially replaced. Have no idea who I could employ to do some repairs nor extent of damage. Any recommendation would be helpful. Live in Orchidland Estates.
Mahalo.
