Personally, I feel that brands should hire me – to destroy their brands. Why? It’s great branding!

I started this thought-stream in 2016. Since then, it’s interesting to watch how my interests have changed focus. I think my interests have changed in ways that reflect the changes in the internet, politics, and how society decides who and what is important, when.
I have actually checked with GPT and they say that the take-over will be non-violent.
None of this is to my pride or honor, for if it was, I’d be with a troupe in the commons outside the courthouse every day (in Clearfield, that’s where there’s a 10 commandments sculpture) putting my results to music, throwing confetti, and inviting all passers-by for hugs. No, that’s not enough – I’d be standing, with a mariachi band, in Times Square, with dominatrixes (of all genders) holding republican lawmakers on leashes offering copies of this paper with their mouths.
Krea’s chat mode adds an interesting new dimension to image creation. For example, you can tell it “create a portrait of ben franklin” then, when it doesn’t look Franklin enough, you provide an image and say “more like Franklin” then work on the setting. It’s interesting.
I didn’t really have an answer. My guess was “hi.”
But it’s not, I swear! As far as I recall, the number of products or services that I have actually gotten excited about is, maybe, a dozen. I suppose that’s a side-effect of living in the past, where if someone comes up and wants to show me a new Tactical(r) self-defense cane, I’m going to be comparing it to long-established products like the Henschel VK4501 (aka “King Tiger”) which is almost certainly superior unless you are going on a plane.
Actually, I used to hang out at Affinity [aff] because sometimes there was interesting far-ranging discussions and art, and creativity. I started here at Pharyngula, when it was still under ScienceBlogs (I still have the mug!) and came to enjoy the rough-and-tumble crotch-kicking and religion-bashing. I still track there, but I have found that, in the last year, my ability to stay awake is seriously compromised, and the wars of religion are just a waste of time. In fact, I often catch myself thinking that the right-thinking people of the world were too busy pounding on theists to deconstruct the burgeoning fascist dictatorship that was growing in the wings.

Of course, the autocrats are assuming that the AIs will be nietzschean ubermenschen, but …
I used to be a highly creative person. I’m not bragging but one idea I threw out over a sushi dinner at Higashi West got turned into a start-up which netted the founder about $200mn. I’ve had a bunch to drink and topped it off with a Zoloft, so forgive me if I wander a bit. It’s snowing out and the shop is too cold and I’m not sure if I want to play computer games, tonight, or try to write.
