Saw an interesting piece of advice recently: ask the AI search engines for an answer in a field in which you are very knowledgeable.
The results will make it clear just how much they get wrong, and how brazen they are about it.
Now, apply that to every subject in which you are NOT an expert.

Looked up “what mobile parking app do I need for <this town>” - AI summary on Google confidently gave me the wrong answer, which I ignored because **it is wrong a third of the time, about ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING** (according to the last study I read.)
The shit just doesn’t work.

I read this series because of the Horned King painting. How could I not?
Josh is on the money here because they still fire my imagination like they did when I was a kid.

I have said before and will say again that it is such a loss that we no longer get covers of this caliber for fantasy books.
This art is by Jean-Léon Huens. These covers are for the Chronicles of Prydain by Lloyd Alexander. They lit my imagination on fire as a kid.

My goal has been to avoid a career at all cost. Lots of jobs in lots of fields because once I get comfortable with how to do the work I get bored and want to learn how to do another thing. It’s financially stupid but rewarding in other ways.

I doubt too many folks will highlight Jellybean’s work in The Family but they were great too. He was so good at adapting Prince’s programmed drum patterns into the a live setting. youtu.be/v-mnW-4oOt4?...
