Thanks to the power of OpenAI, Clippy will now be able to help you with anything ChatGPT can - and it'll even scratch your vintage itch while doing it with its late 90s style.

I have just checked the CODE, and it appears you have used DOT NET 6/.Net 6 framework, and the frontend uses a windows framework. So how about exporting this to LINUX as well?

For Linux, you can implement the front end in a framework like 'Avalonia'.

For now, FireBlocks says that anyone who plans to use its GPT-powered Clippy will need to have their own private OpenAI API key

Btw, is it FireBlocks company, or FireCube ?

I have very different memories of Clippy/Clippet. Microsoft was trying to appeal to a broader audience by imposing Clippy to be Your Friendly Computer Helper. Almost Everyone I knew hated it. It came across as insulting and annoying. They got a lot of Negative Feedback and eventually dropped it. I love the old funny video of a guy creating a Word document and Clippet is saying over and over "It looks like your writing a letter" and the man responding, "I am not writing a @#$%@# letter", until he loses it. (search you tube for "it looks like your writing a letter clippy".

Nice knowing you all. It's now official that the end of the world is going to be brought on by Clippy AI.

Since the tech-verse seems to be in a nostalgic mood, I'd like HP to bring back the Packard Bell Home GUI that was an alternate option to a conventional Windows desktop, but now fully traversable; similar to the forever-incomplete 3DNA Desktop for Win98.

Just because we now have the horsepower to drive such a ridiculous UI overlay and it'd be a bit of fun nostalgia heading over to the game room to launch your games and play some secret, built-in games, or take a trip to the office to launch your office apps. Throw in the ability to customize preset photo frames around the virtual home with pictures off your drive. Bonus if you can also build a "Packard Bell Home" via a dumbed down house creator. Maybe even include a surprise copy of The Journeyman Project, now also modernized in HD.

+1 for Packard Bell Home GUI as well.
