An ordinary Friday morning on the Las Vegas Strip in 1980 -- until a fireball blows out the front doors of the largest hotel in town at seven in the morning. The nation watched live in real time for the rest of the day as the building burned, with stranded guests waving sheets out windows and being rescued from the hotel roof by helicopters. ChatGPT Prompt: Tell me about the MGM Grand Fire.CharGPT Answer: "The MGM Grand Fire was a tragic incident that occurred on November 21, 1980, at the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. The fire killed 85 people and injured over 700, making it one of the deadliest hotel fires in U.S. history.The fire started in the early morning hours, just after 7:00 am, in the deli of the casino's restaurant. It quickly spread through the casino and up into the hotel's upper floors. The fire was fueled by flammable materials such as upholstery, carpets, and wall coverings, which were prevalent throughout the building.The fire department was alerted, and firefighters arrived on the scene within minutes. However, they were faced with several challenges, including a lack of information about the building's layout and a shortage of water pressure in the hotel's standpipe system.Despite these obstacles, firefighters worked tirelessly to rescue guests and contain the fire. Many guests were trapped in their rooms and had to be rescued by helicopter from the hotel's roof. Others jumped from windows in a desperate attempt to escape the flames.In the aftermath of the fire, investigations revealed a number of safety violations and hazards that had contributed to the disaster. These included blocked exits, inadequate fire suppression systems, and non-fire-resistant building materials.As a result of the MGM Grand Fire, many changes were made to fire safety regulations and building codes, including increased requirements for sprinkler systems, smoke alarms, and fire-resistant materials. The tragedy also led to the creation of the National Fire Protection Association's Life Safety Code, which outlines safety requirements for buildings such as hotels, motels, and dormitories.The MGM Grand Hotel and Casino was later renovated and reopened as Bally's Las Vegas. The site of the fire is now the location of the MGM Grand Garden Arena."

For example, in recent years, it has increased its focus on social media and digital platforms to reach younger audiences.Overall, Radio Free Europe's commitment to press freedom, regional and language coverage, and innovation have made it a vital source of news and information for people living in countries with limited press freedoms."
The human says: AI is here, and it's name is ChatGPT. It launched in November 2022, and had a million users within a month. A month later, ChatGPT had a 100 million users. That's fast growth, and intense interest. But what is it? And what are the applications -- and implications? Let's ask non-artificial intelligence, Wikipedia. But first ...To ChatGPT (Prompt): What is ChatGPT and why is it important?From ChatGPT (Andwer): "ChatGPT is a large language model created by OpenAI. It is designed to understand and respond to natural language queries from users. The "GPT" in its name stands for "Generative Pretrained Transformer," which refers to the neural network architecture used to train the model.ChatGPT is important because it represents a significant advancement in natural language processing (NLP) technology. It has been trained on vast amounts of data and can generate highly accurate and contextually relevant responses to a wide range of questions and topics. This makes it a valuable tool for everything from customer service and technical support to education and research.ChatGPT is also important because it has the potential to democratize access to information and knowledge. By providing users with instant access to accurate and reliable information, ChatGPT can help to bridge the digital divide and empower people around the world to learn, grow, and achieve their full potential."There you have it!
The Bermuda Triangle: Spooky for decades, and fodder for Sci-Fi tales a plenty. Missing Navy planes, disappearing ships, and plenty of other would-be supernatural activity, off the coast of Florida.
The original page lives at: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bermuda_Triangle
What's ChatGPT have to say?: The Bermuda Triangle is a region in the western part of the North Atlantic Ocean where a number of aircraft and ships are said to have disappeared under mysterious circumstances. Some people believe that these disappearances are due to supernatural or extraterrestrial causes, while others argue that the disappearances can be attributed to natural phenomena such as human error, piracy, or severe weather conditions. Despite numerous investigations, there is no scientific evidence to support any of the supernatural or extraterrestrial theories, and the majority of disappearances can be explained by natural causes.

Way out in the Nevada desert, we have a secretive US Government Air Base. What happens here? What happened here? Were there ALIENS? Today, we look into Area 51.
Find the original at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Area_51
From ChatGTP: Area 51 is a highly secretive United States Air Force facility located in the Nevada desert. The exact nature of the activities that take place at the facility is classified, and as such, there is no official information on what has happened there. However, there are a number of popular theories and rumors about what goes on at Area 51. One of the most widely known theories is that the facility is used for the development and testing of advanced military technology, including aircraft and weapons systems. Some people have speculated that the facility may also be used for the study of extraterrestrial life, including the recovery and examination of crashed UFOs. In 2019, a viral social media event called "Storm Area 51" attracted widespread attention and led to a large number of people gathering in the area around the facility. However, the event turned out to be largely peaceful, with no significant breaches of security or other incidents reported. Despite the many rumors and speculations, it remains unclear exactly what happens at Area 51, and the U.S. government has consistently maintained a policy of secrecy around the facility.
On March 1, 1932, someone did something bad to the 20-month old son of Charles "Lindy" Lindbergh (at the time, the most famous aviator in the world). It didn't end well for Lindy, baby Lindy, or for a German immigrant who lived on the Lexington Line -- and died in the electric chair. In Episode #301, we got into the "the most successful ditching in aviation history," and today, we dial into "the trial of the century."Hey ChatGPT, what happened!?!: The kidnapping and murder of Charles Augustus Lindbergh Jr., the son of famous aviator Charles Lindbergh, took place on March 1, 1932, in New Jersey, USA. The 20-month-old baby was taken from his crib, and despite a massive search and nationwide manhunt, his body was found several months later in a nearby wooded area.The case captured the attention of the nation and became one of the most famous crimes of the 20th century. After a long and complicated investigation, a suspect named Bruno Richard Hauptmann was arrested and tried for the crime. He was convicted and sentenced to death in 1935, and was executed by electric chair in 1936.The Lindbergh kidnapping and murder case had far-reaching impacts, leading to changes in U.S. law, including the creation of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the introduction of new technologies for forensic evidence analysis. The case remains one of the most famous and well-known crimes in American history.
Ever had that feeling that you don't really deserve what you've achieved? You're not alone! Today we delve into the Imposter Syndrome. The good news? Group therapy works!From our friend ChatGPT (Which looks an awful lot like he uses Wikipedia, too ...): Impostor syndrome is a psychological phenomenon where individuals are unable to internalize their successes and persistently doubt their abilities, and fear being exposed as a "fraud". It can lead individuals to believe that their accomplishments were due to luck or external factors, and not because of their own skills or qualifications.People with impostor syndrome often feel like they are not as competent as others perceive them to be, and fear that they will be found out as a fraud. This can lead to anxiety, stress, and can even hold them back from pursuing new opportunities or reaching their full potential.It's important to note that impostor syndrome can affect anyone, regardless of their level of success or education. It's also common among high-achieving individuals, and many successful people have reported experiencing impostor syndrome at some point in their lives.

In 1948, political novelist George Orwell released his archetypal dystopian, surveillance-state, oppressed-public romance novel: Nineteen Eighty-Four: A Novel (a.k.a., 1984). In doing so, he freaked out his own and many more generations to come. Today, it's widely quoted and referred to -- often quite incorrectly -- and continues to profoundly impact those who bother to read it. From the Ministry of Truth, Welcome to Room 101.

This episode is a bit of a deep dive into an agreement which allowed the resolution of a disputed 1876 US Presidential Election between Republican Rutherford B. Hayes and Democrat Samuel J. Tilden. At the surface, the dispute had to do with 20 electoral votes and allegations of voter fraud -- but really this was all post-Confederate War shenanigans. This is a good episode on its own, and worthy of a listen, but best paired with Wikireadia Episode #123 on US Presidential Transitions.

Presidents come and go, and when they do, it's a process -- called a transition. Most times it goes pretty smoothly, but those days might be behind us. This episode takes a look at the history and process of presidential transitions, as well as notes transitions that have been less than seamless (although mostly peaceful).

Alger Hiss was a Soviet spy. Or was he? Back in the 1930s and 1940s so much was going on, it's hard to tell. Nevertheless, the Alger Hiss soy case is one of America's enduring tales of cold war espionage. This story has special appearances by the HUAC, a prosecution by Richard Nixon, evidence called the Pumpkin Papers and a truly inconclusive ending. Much like seemingly everything these days, we'll probably never know the truth.

The Roland TR-808 (the 808) was an early commercial product failure for the newly formed Roland Corporation. Less than 12,000 were produced before the product was discontinued three years after its introduction. At it's lowest point, a used 808 could be bought for $100. But, from that low point, the 808 became arguably the most influential musical instrument of the mid to late '80s -- and beyond.

Back in the summer of 2000, the world waited in anticipation, contemplating the fate of the crew of the Kursk, a Russian submarine that was stuck disabled on the floor of the Barents Sea. The story was fascinating, intriguing and being reported in real-time during the early heydays of the new newsy Internet. It was amazing to me how big this sub was -- 118 souls on board. The sub was 430 feet long. And lying disabled at a depth of 354 feet. Think about that -- a 430 foot long sub, stuck 350 feet deep -- the sub was actually 80 feet longer than the depth it was stuck at. Nevertheless, all rescue attempts failed and investigation showed the whole crew was dead anyway. Pretty chilling stuff.

I was living in Las Vegas in 1995, and had many occasions to interact with the Hoover Dam. I've met friends there. I've taken girlfriends there. I took the guided extended tour at a time when they showed you everyhting. (And you really haven't seen anything until you've seen an electric-generating turbine the size of a small building set in a terazzo floor -- times seventeen). In my last days in Vegas before heading back East, I had to run a load of my wordly posessions over to Flagstaff to put them on a freight train headed to Pittsburgh -- and that trip from Nevada to Arizona took me straight across the top of the Hoover Dam (and back, the same day). Bear in mind, the route across the top of the Hoover Dam wasn't a choice. That was where the road from Vegas to Flagstaff just ran.
Anyway, the Hoover Dam. The original writeup can be found at: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoover_Dam
