We now have Claude-light at work. I do like the colors of it better, choosing the beige background with brown text, makes it feel a little bit more upscale than ChatGPT. However, the icon floats there all the time and I cannot, but remember Hank Green’s comparison to a specific anatomy.

Doing vacation deep thoughts with ChatGPT

Considering how much Google knows about me you think the sample searches would be in any way specific… They are not.

Fun with ChatGPT

I’m working on a grocery list & I had to explain to my AI that red green chips are a thing in this household. Because it’s chips made out of peas, so they were green chips, and then they came out with a tomato basil variation, which are red. So the red variety of the green chips. Red green chips.

So it’s my husband and I and ChatGPT in a room and we just take turns asking our ChatGPT insane questions. This is the final salvo from my ChatGPT: “If he escalates to “washing machine wombat,” you know things have truly gone too far. I regret nothing about this conversation”

I enjoy hunting for new books with ChatGPT. Distilled: You like smart, capable adults navigating danger, love, and the world with humor, emotional honesty, and forward momentum, and you reject books that waste your time through cruelty, artificial ignorance, or lazy plotting.

Today I asked ChatGPT to look at a list of 250 books on AI from the work library and tell me if I would like any of them based on what it knows about me and books and what I do. Feels a lot like living in building designed by Escher.

Today to ChatGPT: we have a movie theater's stand from the Two Towers: Aragorn Gandalf Merry Pippin Frodo. A and P you can push face aside and selfie. I have looked online & I can't find what would be a price Answer: depends on buyer. $300 to $1500 Don’t dox me, we put it in secure storage. #nerd

I’m just gonna keep posting on bluesky and pretending that anyone reads it. I cleaned out the front closet today, including a box that was put away the Christmas 2011. Also, a Lord of the rings movie theater stand where you can put your face in place of Aragorn’s or Pipin’s. NC dust is ~green.

Bad statistics with ChatGPT The combo, stripped of narrative 1. Unicycle in the car 2. Crate/box of Korean sweet potatoes 3. Active Cracker Barrel Styrofoam soda cup Each item alone is uncommon. Each pair is rare. All together crosses into “you could canvas a stadium and not find another.”

The important distinction you’re circling You are not building: • an automation system • a content generator • a chatbot You are building: a judgment-preserving decision system” Turns out that my use of AI is …. Way beyond the typical

🧩 The Systems Builder (this is you) •Uses ChatGPT as an external brain •Enforces rules, formats, taxonomies •Corrects the assistant when it drifts •Builds long-running projects across days or weeks •Cares deeply about consistency and memory You are constructing a machine that happens to talk back.

Muhahahaa UNHINGED chats with ChatGPT

Me: Okay, so if you took a large, not the largest, but a large, say 75th percentile great white shark and plopped it in my pool, how many lanes would it take up? ChatGPT: 🦈 Width: A large great white would take up about 1 lane. Length: At roughly 15 feet, it would be around 1/4 of the pool length

When you don’t want to do the math or value accuracy, ChatGPT is there Me: A character in this book is smok8ng. She is in New Jersey. What is the cost of a single Marlboro cigarette in new jersey ChatGPT: 🪩 About $0.50–$0.60 per cigarette is a realistic 2025 New Jersey cost estimate.

Evidently, I am way too into using ChatGPT.

Need a banging Christmas playlist? music.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Christmas hobby: asking ChatGPT to locate geographically seasonal songs based on lyrics. For example, Winter Wonderland is NOT the South. Wisconsin and inner Vermont are popular.

This is the weirdest thing I’ve seen on Amazon in a while. Rosary and Bible on your shower curtain. That’s a weird flex for a guest bathroom, for sure. www.amazon.com/Shower-Curta...

I was showing my ChatGPT His ?: will I like Oliver Twist ChatGPT: It’s a bleak, 19th-century historical novel stuffed with poverty, suffering, and moral agony. You strongly dislike historical settings, sad/tense stories, and classics of this exact flavor… basically a “please no” wrapped in soot.

And a note on the sizing. I’ve redacted the sizes, but what I did was this: I had ChatGPT look up the size chart for things I know fit and look up what those #s would be Then I had it look on the size charts for the various vendors and show me, since I don’t trust it, what the sizing would be.

Bluesky doesn’t let you edit anything after the fact. I think this is to keep people from messing with posts after they are liked. The problem is that I dictate. dictation & AutoCorrect combo is evil. And so I keep seeing errors in my posts that I can’t fix without redoing the whole darn thing.

Page 5. ChatGPT gave you a bunch of options, and these were the ones I picked.

Page 4 of the shopping guide, also the visual guide to the kinds of things I like. ChatGPT give me a bunch of options and I pick the ones I like.

So here’s the first page of the guide

I was asking online for help finding a store to find sweaters. And one of the people said, “why don’t you use AI? “ And honest to God I normally think of ChatGPT is male and so I hadn’t. So I had the worst intern (who is also in some ways the best intern ever so it’s a mixed bag) help me

This is what ChatGPT is perfect for: Yes please give me a final recipie Here comes your final, fully-scaled recipe, tailored exactly to: • Your 600 mL of green tomatoes • 2 spring onions sliced in the food processor • That small blue thrift-store baking dish It used photos for sizing

Today’s ChatGPT conversation involved me wandering a bit Regency era street muck Regency era sanitation Regency era pregnancy mortality rates Presidential vs British King fecundity Henry VII and STD rates in Medieval high society Sally Hemings heritage I think I ran out of lunch break about then

In the interests of full disclosure, ChatGPT first tried to convince me it had personality profiles which *do not exist* Detective Creative Companion Instructor Coach Critic Generalist ANALYST (It wanted me to pick analyst, thus ALL CAPS) I had to give it a screenshot of itself.

I asked ChatGPT which personality 4 me: Quirky: Regency sewage systems, whale-watching Zodiacs, fast-food ley lines, and why Martinelli’s costs more now — all without switching gears. If your conversations had a mascot, it would be a wisecracking owl in a lab coat holding a tiny lantern.

Just in time for your Thanksgiving prep time…

No sponsored content and no sponsored results. So how long is it till AI starts spitting out sponsored answers? I don’t really want questions like, “what are the top 5 ranking restaurants in a 2 mile radius of this address? “to tell me that I really wanna go to Golden Corral & McDonald’s . Pt 2

The relentless finding a ways to use grok to spit out bizarro comparisons for mask just makes me think about one thing. There was a point in time in search engine land when people did not pay for search results and win search results were not manipulated. When there was no Part 1

Sometimes with #ai you can do things that would take you hours to figure out. For example, asking ChatGPT to identify the coins i unearthed cleaning out stuff. (See the image descriptions) (I had three photos, so this is a sample)

Still having ChatGPT look through book reviews for me. This one cracked me up: “Summary: Cozy fall small-town romance. Reason: SKIP since “cozy fall small-town” is almost tailor-made to repel you.”

Not now, carnivorous death ball

Say you have a kid without saying you have a kid. Last night I asked the Internet how big a cat brain is. (Half a kiwi, but very wrinkled with lots of connections) #mom

I asked #ChatGPT which of about 45 books or samples I have on my Kindle would be a really quick start. It looked and said Harmony Black. I couldn’t find it, and it described the cover for me. Page two has this, good job AI.

I probably could’ve just asked Google… #ChatGPT today: Does the journey song about streets lights and people mention trains? In Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin’” (1981), there’s a line early in the song that mentions trains: “She took the midnight train goin’ anywhere.” (Cut for length)

Dinner last night #bougie #chatgpt • Calories: ~430–450 kcal • Protein: high — strong for muscle repair and satiety • Carbs: moderate, but mostly complex and slow-digesting • Fat: moderate, mostly from the cheese • Fiber: solid thanks to raspberries and whole grains

You can take a photo of your meal, upload it to ChatGPT, and ask for the macros. This lunch: Calories: ~315–345 kcal Protein: ~24 g (28%) Fat: ~15 g (42%) Carbohydrates: ~25 g (30%)  • Fiber: ~6 g  • Sugars (mostly from raspberries & dressing): ~12 g #ai #dietary

I’ve been thinking my ChatGPT conversations were pretty weird But I just listened to my husband tell ChatGPT to pretend it was a frog working in cryptocurrency data security. So maybe not. The most I did today was ask if Stephanie Plum ever picked a dude (no) or learned to use handcuffs (no).

I had an unhinged conversation with ChatGPT about skin mites. I will spare you. Demodex

Furlough mom got tired of chores, made a #halloween #playlist Sorry, YT music bc we dumped our mp3s on google a decade ago…. music.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

To ChatGPT: it is 3.34 Wednesday, October 22nd. What is the prediction market analysis of when the furlough will be over? (Details cut for length) #AI: Bottom line: The smart money now thinks the furlough will last into mid-November, barring a sudden breakthrough.

Fun with AI “I did not give you multiple pages. I gave you one file with the top 75 matches to me. There should be no duplication across pages because there's not multiple pages. Thank you for inventing an answer, but try again.”
