I was born in 1980. This puts me on the cusp between "Generation X" and "Millennials". I like to use a name from #Blade for my people.

Neither GenX or Millennial, we walk the line between.

#horror
#HPLovecraft
#StephenKing
#music (various kinds, but mostly #rock)
#science

I've been playing with ChatGPT on Bing and on OpenAI's website. I tried saying "Pretend you are H.P. Lovecraft. Answer as if you are him." or something like that. It was pretty cool! It was like having a conversation with the man (until it forgot to pretend).

This only worked on the OpenAI site. Bing refused to pretend to be anyone.

I finally got around to watching #StarTrekDiscovery. The first season was painful. The second season is better. I still put this in an alternate timeline in my head canon though.

The Space Needle appears to be taking off from the fog in Seattle, Washington with Mt Rainier on the horizon:

An awful lot of people do not understand algorithms, Section 230, or the 1st Amendment... and it seems that basically all of them filed amicus briefs with the Supreme Court today. This could very much be the end of Section 230 if the Supreme Court buys their arguments.

What a mess.

Listening to #TWiT and just got to the ChatGPT section. Man, that's freaky! I wonder if it could build a new version of itself. Then a better one. And a better one. And...

SKYNET ACTIVE.
