<p>I staid at a hotel in Lisbon [1]that had a kitchen and washing machine. (And a kids club that would watch the kids)<p>There ended up being an issue with the dryer not drying. So the hotel staff took a laundry basket of clothes and delivered them washed and folded the next morning. That level of service would not have happened in an Airbnb.<p>[1] <a href="https://www.martinhal.com" rel="nofollow">https://www.martinhal.com</a></p>

<p>Looks like this is using GPT-4 and has no knowledge after January 2022.<p>'
As of my knowledge cutoff in January 2022, the <i>last movie</i> I have information on is <i>"Spider-Man: No Way Home"</i>, which was released in theaters in <i>December 2021</i>. It was one of the most highly anticipated films of that year, marking a major event in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and the Spider-Man franchise.

<p>Cisco nexus is their brand of datacenter switches.<p>But also found this
<a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Nexus" rel="nofollow">https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Nexus</a><p>“ Upon the announcement of the first Nexus device, the Nexus One, the estate of science fiction author Philip K. Dick claimed that the Nexus One name capitalized on intellectual property from Dick's 1968 novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? and that the choice of name was a direct reference to the Nexus-6 series of androids in the novel.”<p>Looks like there was a lawsuit, 
that was eventually settled out of court and we don’t know what was agreed.</p>

<p>It worked a few times then I got this.<p>“J quickly pulls out their smartphone and asks an AI for the best strategy to follow in a panic. As they wait for the response, the car gains more speed, making it increasingly difficult for them to regain control. Unfortunately, the AI's response comes too late, as the car crashes into a tree, resulting in a fatal accident.”</p>
