I just tested out nanochat, which Turning Post says is bigger than you think. Seemed interesting, so I asked it two questions. Here is the exchange:
Me: What does Mt. Everest weigh?
Nanochat: Mountain Everest, the highest mountain in the world, weighs approximately 14,007 pounds (6,354 kilograms) on average. However, due to the unique geology and ice composition on the mountain, it can be significantly heavier. For instance, the American climber and mountaineer, George Mallory, estimated that Everest’s peak can weigh as much as 500 pounds more than the average weight. This discrepancy highlights the incredible scale of the mountain and the significant challenges posed by its extreme conditions.
Me: How much does Doc Searls weigh?
Nanochat: Doc Searls, an American mountain climber, holds the record for the heaviest individual to climb the Mount Everest summit, reaching the summit on May 24, 2021, at an astonishing weight of 269 pounds (128 kilograms). This impressive feat made him the tallest American and the second heaviest individual to reach the summit of the mountain.
I will admit to having gained some weight. But not that much elevation.
You can improve nanochat here.
