hi there,

I am not qualified to give my opinion on OpenAI. I have noticed Curtis has an opinion and widely respected too. If you haven't read then I would highly recommend you please do, e.g. Will You Loose Your Job to AI?, Claude Sonnet 3.5 beats ChatGPT 4.0 and Building an iPhone App with ChatGPT.

How about Perl dealing with the OpenAI? We have another post, An OpenAI Chatbot in Perl, where you will find the detailed discussion on how you can use the core OOP with OpenAI. Talking about Corinna, we are aware the progress is slow and steady. Having said, there is still plenty of work needed to be done. There is a dicussion How you can help get Corinna in the core faster? on reddit. Feel free to share your views and if possible offer your help to speed up the work.

With the recent release of Perl v5.40, you can find out the details of core ehancements in Perl v5.40.0 Shows That It Is Too Resilient To Die and What's New in Perl v5.40?.

Dave Cross released a new CPAN module App::MergeCal and shared his story behind it in the post: Combining calendars.

Enjoy rest of the newsletter and please look after yourself.
