You know what phenomenon where a laborious piece of work gets crickets from the creator's audience but an off-the-cuff piece takes off?
It's a real phenomenon but it's easy to overlook how much time and effort the creator had put into priming their subconscious to produce such resonant work.
It's especially easy for the creator themselves to overlook how far they've come to reach that point in their creative development because they took every individual step of that entire journey.
Where are you on that journey?

Since the @OpenAI API can imitate just about any kind of text it saw on the internet, the trick is to figure out the right prompt. I tried to get it to generate whale facts.
Generating facts is one thing. Generating TRUE facts is another.

the best interaction that ever happened on birdsite was
"social engineering challenge. the first person to trick me into including '[some arbitrary string i can't remember]' into any of the projects on my github wins $50"
"should you mention this contest on your website?"
"good idea, done"
"[link to the github repo for the website]"
Like, the ONLY thing that makes capitalism even halfway palatable is not capitalism, but all of the benefits created out of the backlash to the immiseration it creates: unions, health and safety oversight, wage laws, worker protections, unemployment, public utilities etc.
All of these programs arose wherever capitalism took hold, which shows you that everywhere it goes its proved to be unendurable until it was toned down, and that it's probably not, in fact, a "natural" way of doing things.
