Great to hear! I have to go to Goodwood but just having to juggle around meetings and work obligations.
Not sure where you are located, but we have a shop close to me that sells per-loved board games, so they might buy in games as well https://tabletopguru.co.za/
Not into board games so never used them, but I guess you can give them a call.
Also, hi everyone.

How do you play a board game on a different difficulty? I’m not big into board game so not sure how this is possible, unless it comes with different variants to play with. I’ve only played mainline games (Monopoly, Cluedo, etc.).
The game is a co-op, so basically, every turn the game adds more things for you and your fellow players to remove/solve. If the things reach a losing condition of x, everyone loses and the game is over. On the other hand, if you and your friends can remove/solve the problems fast enough, you can get to win and everyone wins.
Typically the difficulty in these kinds of games is set by the rate of problems being added. In this game, each player plays a spirit on an island. The spirits have to work together, use their powers and the natives to repel the invading forces. The invading forces are the problems that keep growing every turn.
We have played some really fun co-op board games. The classic one is Pandemic and another one is Forbidden Desert. We love the desert one. Each player plays a stranded crew member of a crashed aircraft, each one has some ability that the others do not have, like a water bearer, explorer etc. All the players have to work together to find the missing pieces of the aircraft and do so before the desert covers them all up in sand. All this is done on a board and each turn there are more and more sandstorms.

Yeay, finally convinced management to buy a ChatGPT license for my QA department! No more scaling down to model 4-3-2!

Does having a license mean that your data is no longer used to train their model etc. What about intellectual property and sentive information etc.?

I doubt that’s a thing… Even if it’s offered, ChatGPT might decide it doesn’t care and learn from it anyways…
There was an article posted recently about chats (on Grok?) getting indexed on search engine because of a share feature gone wrong (I might have misunderstood the article mind you).

I asked Grok about this.
You’re referring to a recent issue where conversations with AI chatbots, including Grok and ChatGPT, were indexed by search engines due to their sharing features. Here’s a clearer picture based on available information:
ChatGPT Issue: In late July 2025, it was reported that ChatGPT conversations shared via a link (using the “Share” feature) were being indexed by search engines like Google, Bing, and DuckDuckGo. This happened because users could opt-in to make their shared chats “discoverable,” meaning search engines could crawl and index them. Many users didn’t realize that enabling this option made their conversations publicly searchable, potentially exposing sensitive information like resumes, personal stories, or business details. Nearly 4,500 ChatGPT conversations were found indexed on Google alone. OpenAI called this a “short-lived experiment” and removed the discoverability feature on July 31, 2025, citing privacy concerns. They also began working to remove indexed content from search engines.
Grok Issue: A similar problem was reported with Grok, created by xAI, around August 20, 2025. When users clicked the “share” button on a Grok conversation, it generated a unique URL that could be shared via email, text, or social media. These URLs were also indexable by search engines, making the conversations publicly searchable. This led to concerns about sensitive content, such as queries about illegal activities, being exposed. Unlike ChatGPT, there’s no mention of an explicit “discoverable” checkbox for Grok, suggesting the indexing might have been an oversight in how the share feature was implemented. xAI has not publicly commented on removing the feature, but the issue raised privacy concerns similar to ChatGPT’s.
Key Misunderstanding: The issue wasn’t a “malfunction” but rather a design choice where shared links were made public and crawlable by search engines. For ChatGPT, users had to opt-in, but the interface wasn’t clear enough, leading to accidental oversharing. For Grok, it’s less clear if users were explicitly warned about indexing, but the outcome was similar. The problem lies in users assuming shared links would remain private or limited to intended recipients, not realizing they could become globally searchable.
Current Status: OpenAI disabled ChatGPT’s discoverability feature and worked to de-index content, though some chats lingered on other search engines like DuckDuckGo due to caching. For Grok, there’s no confirmation of a fix, but the issue mirrors ChatGPT’s, suggesting xAI might need to adjust their sharing feature or add clearer warnings. Some Grok conversations may still be indexed, as the problem was reported more recently.
What This Means: If you’ve shared Grok or ChatGPT conversations, they might be searchable unless you’ve deleted the shared links. For ChatGPT, you can check and delete shared links via Settings > Data Controls > Shared Links > Manage. For Grok, no specific management tool has been mentioned, but you can contact xAI support to check shared links. Be cautious about sharing sensitive info, as even deleted links might persist in search engine caches or archives like Archive.org.
If you’re worried about specific Grok chats, avoid using the share feature for sensitive conversations until xAI clarifies their indexing policy. You can search Google with site:*.x.ai/share to see if any of your Grok conversations appear, though results may vary due to search engine updates. If you meant a different article or platform, let me know, and I can dig deeper

Ya, I knew it was users clicking share, but I didn’t realize there was discoverability involved. I guess “gone wrong” was the worst way I could have described it tbh…
The moral of the story, don’t share your chat sessions with your AI Girlfriend

I guess its what you call an overshare.

Good afternoon everyone.
Was getting flour in Woollies and a guy stops me and asks what I’m baking. I say bread and he lights up and says he also makes bread. We talk a little about bread.
