Absolutely! The AirBnB host name in the shot is just wild.

I've done the "find Jose Monkey" challenge twice and it's also scary how easy it is for a novice, just based upon lessons learned from watching his videos.

This is why @josemonkey.com is so important.

Some people have no awareness...

A teen posted a screenshot of the Airbnb listing they were going to stay at for the entire month of October and I commented that they shared way too much location info.

They go "where's the address?" I found it via Google/street view in sub 5mins. 😭

Wrapped up #PlaythroughGC for @lorelink.com and got some delicious quesabirria for dinner. Now comes a long wait for a short flight home.

please do not use llms to actually write your blogs.

we can absolutely tell.

and it means:

1. I don't trust what you're saying (or at least I don't trust any purported 'insight')

2. I don't feel like I'm listening to you (normally I _like_ listening to nuance)

The floor is open at Playthrough Gaming Con! If you're in Raleigh this weekend attending, then make sure to go say hi to @mrdowden.com at booth 103. He'll be showing everyone how to use Lore Link, talking gaming and GMing, and wondering why he didn't bring anyone else with him!

Enjoy the show!

If you call yourself "apolitical" but then claim to value ethics and emotional intelligence....no you don't. You just don't want to be uncomfortable.

Absolutely! I've seen it turn intelligent people into morons completely incapable of critical thinking in near real-time. It's horrible.

Never in my wildest nightmares did I think the singularity would replace human intelligence with machines incapable of rational thought.

This is common and deeply disturbing behavior. It's also an absolute slap in the face and will permanently (negatively, obviously) change how I think of you and act towards you.

I wonder if a professional who uses ChatGPT *during a meeting* in order to second-guess a skilled employee because they were unsatisfied by the (correct) answer that the human gave them has any idea how they come across.

(Don't ask.)

Made it to the convention center, but first things first - grabbed coffee and breakfast.
