• Scam Alert. Members are reminded to NOT send money to buy anything. Don't buy things remote and have it shipped - go get it yourself, pay in person, and take your equipment with you. Scammers have burned people on this forum. Urgency, secrecy, excuses, selling for friend, newish members, FUD, are RED FLAGS. A video conference call is not adequate assurance. Face to face interactions are required. Please report suspicions to the forum admins. Stay Safe - anyone can get scammed.
  • Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Calgary Area Meetup is set for Saturday July 12th at 10am. The signup thread is here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year. If you are interested in doing something in your area, let everyone know and make it happen! Meetups are a great way to make new machining friends and get hands on help in your area. Don’t be shy, sign up and come, or plan your own meetup!

Anyone using ChatGTP?

Do you find its super-duper better for your particular applications (to justify 28 CAD/month).

I am on roughly the same page as @Arbutus. I bought a trial membership first and was so blown away by the time savings and the quality of the research, that I popped for the annual subscription.

I love that it will write a full report and give citations for the sources so I can check them as I feel so fit. I wish I had found research material so easily 50 years ago.

Yes, for me anyway, it's worth the annual fee. What is the rest of my life worth? Why waste a single moment of that time researching things that Gemini can do for me? I'm also pretty darn good at researching things. But I confess that I'm not that good compared to Gemini Pro. It's amazing. Not much else to say.
