Noun: A sarcastic name given to the practice of people applying for government's grants related to covid-19, and then using those grants to not take on new education or work to find a new job. Also known as an Expenses Paid Canadian Holiday.
I heard that Jamie is still on Canadian Holiday, she collected a CERB loan, a CEBA grant and she's still living outside of Mexico City in that commune. Now that's what I call and all expenses paid Canadian Holiday. Is that bad? Is that wrong?

Sylvia: Rob, when you mentioned the the term fauxparadox, it reminded me of the classic "chicken or the egg" dilemma. But with modern evolutionary biology, we understand that it's more of a fauxparadox since birds evolved from reptiles, suggesting the egg came first.
Rob: Exactly, Sylvia! It's fascinating how many things we perceive as paradoxes can be clarified with a bit more knowledge or a different perspective. People attach too much weight to what they think is a paradox, when what you have to do is try to solve it with more observation and the scientific method. Most paradoxes are simply hard problems and thought experiments. A Fauxparadox is a playground for grifters the naïve and fools.

Get the Prompt Engineermug. Helper agent Is it new idea that is part of prompt engineering and things like ChaptGPT. A helper agent can be added to a conversation with the AI algorithm, help agents can provide a view or a check after an answer is generated. Helper agents improve the ChatGPT's correctness and limits hallucinations.
Tim: What do you mean helper agent?
Rob: It just add another character into the chain of thought.... Just ask ChatGPT a question and in that question say had an "empathy" helper agent to focus on empathy to your conversation and after the answer is generated, assess the answer for empathy and suggest improvements to the generation. It's simple right?
Tim: Ah, no.

Get the Helper Agentmug. We think therefore we are. in Latin. Akin to "Cogito Ergo Sum" from Descartes, but expanded to how communities think and change. Confablamur was used as a term for conversation. This is where the English term confab comes from no doubt. Shakespeare did not coin it.
"Confablamur ergo sumus" , remember that Sarah, we have gone way beyond , "I think therefore I am" . Thinking and not conversing with your peers is like listening to one hand clapping. Good luck with that zester.
