Is it just me? Am I using this wrong or am I asking questions that are too hard?

Here’s an example of a hallucination that happened while explaining away another hallucination I called it out on. I rarely have experiences other than these.

@mwichary It’s not just you.

@beep @mwichary DEFINITELY not just you.

The problem is that it's amazing 20% of the time, which is all people can talk about. It gives the veneer of a revolution. But it's just OK about 60% of the time, and batshit crazy the remaining 20%. Those aren't good odds.

@scottjenson @beep Yeah, I was just thinking about that!!! You don’t expect Sturgeon’s Law to invade software like this, though. Google felt immune to it.

@scottjenson @beep I am getting a sense that it’s okay to ask for mainstream/obvious things. Anything that’s a bit more obscure almost never gets me anywhere useful.
