Hey, how are you?
|
|
Have you heard about ChatGPT? It is currently mentioned everywhere. (…at least in all the media channels that I read.) ChatGPT is an artificial intelligence (AI) interface that can write all sorts of text for you. I played around with it during the week and WOW! It is soooo powerful and at the same time soo spooky (because it is so smart!)
|
|
I tried to get ChatGPT to write a book for me. And within a few minutes, I didn’t just have a book outline, a list of suggested chapters and a catchy book title, no, I even had some of the content for most chapters written by this AI interface.
|
|
|
|
It was a bit repetitive, relatively simple in structure, but definitely usable as a framework. Really really interesting and promising. ChatGPT is currently still free during the trial period, but I am sure it will cost something soon, so if you are interested, try it out as soon as possible on chat.openai.com/
|
 |
|
Just for fun, I asked the interface to write an introduction for the weekly Dublin Event Guide and this is the result:
|
|

Donations in February:
EUR 174
|
|
(By the end of the month, this number has to reach or exceed EUR 200 to guarantee the continuation of the Dublin Event Guide.)
|
|
|
If the Dublin Event Guide helps you to find out about free events in Dublin, please help with a donation.
|
|
The counter here shows the current donation status. By the end of the month EUR 200 will be subtracted to pay the bills. If more money has been donated, the rest will be carried forward. If donations have stopped below the EUR 200, the missing amount will be carried over.
|
|
|
|
The great people that donated last week were Anne, Emer Maria, Michael, Catherine, Lee, Sinead, John, Anne, Grainne, Kelly, Edward, Deirdre, Catherine, Niamh + somebody who paid by Apple Pay to Revolut. You guys ROCK!! :-) Your donation will keep the Dublin Event Guide alive and will motivate me to continue week after week.I appreciate you and your support!
|
|
With the above counter you know at all times where we stand and when donating is needed. Donations keep the Dublin Event Guide alive and all donors will also get some additional bonuses.
|
 |
|
Here are some more details about donations:
Any amount is appreciated, but if you are looking for a recommendation, then I suggest a donation of 12 Euro per year. – That’s just one Euro per month and you get FOUR Dublin Event Guides for that! If your funds are limited, but you still want to help, you can buy a virtual coffee for just EUR 3. All donations will be used in full for the Dublin Event Guide.
|
|
To donate, use the Dublin Event Guide Donation Page here: gturl.eu/DEGdonate. It is really easy to use and uses Stripe’s trustworthy payment processing. You can even sign up for a yearly subscription on the donation page! Yearly subscriptions will give some important financial stability and reliability to the Dublin Event Guide and are therefore very much appreciated! (Look for the RED subscription buttons at the bottom of the Donation Page.)
|
 |
|
In case the donation page doesn’t work for you, the old links are here: You can donate via www.paypal.me/DublinEventGuide or for Revolut users among you, just use @joergbrb or now also revolut.me/joergbrb
(If possible, please send your full name and e-mail address as a message with the payment via PayPal or Revolut so that I can tell you about bonuses for donors when available.)
|
|
To buy one or two or even three virtual coffees for the Dublin Event Guide, come to the “Buy Me a Coffee” page here www.buymeacoffee.com/DublinEventG
|
 |

And there is one other way to help and it is even free: If you come to www.DublinEventGuide.com and check out some of the ads and click on the ones that you find interesting, that also helps with a few cent! ?

+++ “Monumental Ireland” – photo exhibition captures the beauty of Ireland’s ancient past
On show just from 08-12 Feb, this photo exhibition in Printworks at Dublin Castle offers new perspectives on Ireland’s ancient monuments. The exhibition highlights both the resilience of these monuments and their vulnerability.
The exhibition is curated by the National Monuments Service (NMS) in partnership with the Office of Public Works (OPW). It includes over 100 images and 7 videos and features a remarkable new video of the world-renowned Winter Solstice phenomenon at Newgrange passage tomb, captured in 2021.
Admission is free. www.gov.ie/en/publication/20ded-monumental-ireland/ (The clever people from the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage unfortunately forgot to share with us the opening times, so I would suggest to assume that the exhibition is open from 10:00-17:00.)

+++ LEARN A NEW SKILL WITH ONLINE COURSES
Is there ever a wrong time for learning a new skill or enhancing what you are already interested in? Maybe it is a language or an instrument or some technical skills? Or something completely different? Nearly every subject is there! Check out Udemy via the link below, they have thousands of courses and there is good chance that what you are looking for is available. Nearly all the courses are REALLY affordable!
The lowest price most of the time is EUR 12.99. Sometimes it even goes down further to EUR 9.99 and when that happens (about once or twice a year), I will tell you. But even 12.99 is definitely a good price for what you get!
Check out the website at www.getthislink.com/Udemy22 And if you buy through that link, you also help the Dublin Event Guide! :-)

+++ Discover Dublin Docklands App
Dublin City has a new app that allows us to discover iconic Dublin landmarks such as the famine statues, the CHQ building and more.
The app is available to download for free via doorsintodocklands.com/
After you got the app, you can point your phone at the landmarks and this will prompt the related images, videos and stories to pop up.
The app uses Augmented Reality (AR), a mix of 3D graphics, animation and audio, to immerse users in the story of the city.
Several colourful characters from history will also appear in AR to tell their tales. These include Captain Bligh who surveyed Dublin Bay in the 1800s and Maggie Doyle, who was a docker’s daughter.
