If you’ve read The Electric Kool Aid Acid Test then this will all be familiar. The 16mm 60s colour stock film is so rich in the 1964 sun and looks great. The 1960s start here etc.

They’re all very privileged in a way, looking back from today, but they’re also pioneers of the frontiers of weird.

“While I’m here what shall I do? – You should do the work – What is the work? – To ease the suffering of life.”

Experiments w/ #llm My normal style is too stiff and formal . So I created a shiny app to translate into the style of my recipient with #ChatGPT 3.5 Seems fine. But what if I don't have examples of my recipient's style? I decided the default should be the text to #howl by #alanginsberg Alan Ginsberg. The funny thing is, it didn't seem to matter. Still sounds professional and conversational. Not really sure that is how Alan would talk. Is ChatGPT even paying attention here? .
