I asked my ChatGPT to describe me: You are a patent and video game attorney who balances professional expertise, hands-on hobbies, and family life, with a passion for technology, audio equipment, and fostering creativity in your sons. (ALT: @thegamelawyer)
I wrote a new piece for my Substack exploring what it means to be “political” in a time when most of us feel engaged but disconnected. It asks whether our online habits are actually building power, or only the illusion of it.

This article is indicative of why modern journalism is dying on the vine. Two "respected" journalists push out an interesting headline to get you to sign up, then the article ignores the headline premise to talk about the opposite in a format of bullet points that even ChatGPT would say is too much!

I made another AI-generated video using the same tools I used for the talkubi.com video. The number of generations needed is still about the same, but Veo 3 seems to output more women and POC by default now. Also, music is creeping into generations more often now while subtitles occur less often.

No one in this video is real. I made this entire video myself with only my laptop after the kids went to bed the other night. The entire project from conception to video upload and website deployment took less than 24 hours and $200 with AI. Stay on your toes everyone; things are moving quickly.

This a video entitled “dogs with short spine syndrome.” It’s a real video but in 12 months AI video generation tools will become so good that we won’t have an effective way to tell if a quirky video like this is real or not anymore.

I just had an idea that the rise of LLM models can provide a way for the common person and small groups to propose laws on par with large well funded think tanks. With some effort, AI could help democratize the legislative process. Since all laws are public data, who’s up for a scraping project?

Biden did not spend millions on transgender mouse experiments. When Trump spoke of transgender mice, it’s because he’s stupid or believes you are, or both.
