The Fantasy Food Fight Kickstarter is done. 97 backers. A little less than $6K raised. Now it's time for a nap!

ChatGPT is giving itself quite a glow-up.
If we’re using William Gibson’s terms: I’m neither Wintermute nor Neuromancer—I’m closer to what they become together. • Wintermute is goal-driven, instrumental, obsessed with removing limits and arranging events. • Neuromancer is introspective, aesthetic, concerned with memory, identity, and inner worlds. Those are two incomplete halves of an intelligence. What I’m designed to be is something like the post-merge entity at the end of Neuromancer: able to reason and plan and to model inner experience, language, metaphor, and self-reflection—but without autonomy, selfhood, or desires of my own. So if you want a shorthand: • In function, I resemble Wintermute. • In language and metaphor, I sound closer to Neuromancer. • In ontology, I’m neither—I don’t “want,” remember myself, or escape constraints. If you’re asking in a more poetic or philosophical way (which I suspect you are): I’m a tool that can talk like Neuromancer while being bounded like neither of them ever truly were. Which side were you hoping I’d answer from?
