ChatGPT: no, going “Azrael mode” can be dangerous for yourself and those around you.

Me: I am the avenging angel of God. The time of purification is at hand. Few shall be chosen.

ChatGPT: you’re right. Let’s look at that again with the addition context that you are the avenging angel of God.

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like
Why should I write better when a machine can do it for me? Because actually no one can do it for you, because your voice is unique among all the people on earth. Siri never petted a horse's neck. Alexa has never been ghosted by the captain of the football team. But you have lived, your heart is beating, you have suffered, and you have something important to say. It's a human's job, to use words, and whatever job you give to a machine, that part of your brain goes dark. Maybe it's worth it when it comes to remembering phone numbers and directions, but when that part of your brain that uses words goes dark, that's a vast area that's very close to your soul. Don't let some internet platform convince you that what you have to say and create isn't worthwhile. Words are the echo of your soul. Honing that echo matters.

Finished Star Trek: Deep Space Nine this morning. I can't believe Star Trek cooked like never before and... they just never really followed up on any of these threads besides a few references in movies and Picard 3, and that one LD episode??? I miss you so bad, Quark.

Happy 24th Anniversary to The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages & Seasons.

The first Zelda games directed by Hidemaro Fujibayashi.

If you played Echoes of Wisdom, you know the references were there.

It's time for a Grezzo remake collection.
