Great update as ever. Thanks for the fiction recommendation at the end, that definitely looks worth checking out.

Yeah, I was pretty pleased with it.

I like Grok best, but it's because most of the research and information I need is related to public manipulation for political purposes. It's the best AI I have found to use for anything that might get dinged or cause some type of woke lecture or behind-the-scenes input added or erased in regards to a social problem. I guess it all depends on what you need.

That's fair, and to he honest I find it best when discussing anything political too. I think overall it's not quite as good as ChatGPT, but Grok 3 will probably take the lead in AI.

I'll start off with some predictions:

I don't think the James Webb Space Telescope will find any atmospheres around terrestrial type (small, rocky) planets orbiting red dwarf, aka M-type, stars.

Because I think they're unlikely to exist due to activity from their parent star.

The exceptions: If it's a larger planet, like a super-Earth or sub-Neptune, it could have a think enough atmosphere to retain one despite proximity to its star.

Such atmospheres are likely to be thick, hot, and mostly unsuitable for life.

Exception here might be a hycean world (hydrogen + water vapor armosphere, water ocean), where microbes might live.

No complex life.
