![]() ![]() McGrath did win the FA Cup in his pre-Premier League days with Manchester United and enjoyed a widely decorated career for his country, winning 83 caps and featuring at the Republic of Ireland’s first three major international tournaments. McGrath’s timing in the tackle was first-class and his strong leadership at the heart of the backline nearly took Aston Villa to the promise land of landing the Premier League title. He was in scintillating form during the very-first FA Premier League campaign which is when he scooped up this wonderful individual accolade. McGrath is one of just six defenders to have won the coveted PFA Players’ Player of the Year prize. However, the Republic of Ireland international was one of the game’s best defenders in his prime. With 166 appearances and seven goals scored across the first five seasons of Premier League football, Paul McGrath might not sound like an obvious choice as a Premier League icon. ![]()

![]() ![]() Can you think of an application you could create that would add value to ChatGPT? API access to GPT (the underlying technology) is available now.

Sans collusion or some other anti-competitive practice between owners of large language models, no matter the initial asking price, the price of the basic service will ultimately devolve into a commoditized race to the bottom (think cloud pricing). More importantly, I have been wondering if ChatGPT is, in fact, a pseudonym for Deep Thought. In the book, the answer to the “Ultimate Question of Life, The Universe, and Everything” is 42, which makes me wonder if the final pricing will be announced on May 25. Fans of “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” know this number well. We know that OpenAI (the company behind ChatGPT) is working on a pricing plan, and some users are reporting that they’ve been granted access to a pro tier that costs $42 a month. ![]() ![]() With deportation looming over her father-despite his hard-won citizenship-Lily and Kath risk everything to let their love see the light of day.
