Oh, Midjourney, what are you doing?
You could make a case it’s an extreme twisting at the waist, but I’m pretty sure it’s actually his ass is on backwards. Also, I bet eight fingers is a record.
I’ve got an all day seminar on the geography of Sussex tomorrow. Pumped I am not, but the presenter is a friend and I’m obliged.
Pray for me.

The amount of effort required to get AI to do anything useful far outweighs the current benefit.
And now there is the concept of “potemkin understanding” which is less bad than hallucinations but still pretty bad.

Make yourself a “BS Bingo” card of some kind and keep score during the talk. Maybe base your card on Britishisms used by Terry Pratchett as comic foils in his books. (ex. I instantly said “jografee” to myself when I saw the word “geography”)
Hold fast, you’ll get though this!

Is Sussex big enough to spend a day on it? Or is he going to make you walk from one end to the other?

Do you know a town called Lindfield? My wife and I will be staying there in September (because the mother of the guy across the street lives there, and they think it’s a typical English village).

See if he’s plagiarizing his work!

@ Frank. I used to live near there. It’s a village really. It adjoins Haywards Heath which is the main town in Mid Sussex. Lovely countryside all around. Only about 45 minutes to London by train. If you like English gardens, Wakehurst, Sheffield Park, Borde Hill, Nymans are all worth visiting. One of the best meals we’ve ever had was at Gravetye Manor near East Grinstead (expensive though).

The extra hand bothers me more than the bacward butt.
Maybe Snotty beamed him up, that’s why the bacwards butt.
