The picture on the table is a nice touch

I told it widows’ weeds. Because Friday. The Week of Birthday is all gone.

That is one smug-looking mustelid

Kinda bear-like, this one. Is that…a statue of an ermine on the table?

Let’s have some lady weasels, for goodness sakes

Did you see Richard Dawkins spent a few days chatting with Claude (which he alarmingly calls Claudia) and has decided it’s probably conscious?
I mean, Claude is the eeriest of all the models I’ve used – it has superior conversation skills and it remembers things we talked about weeks earlier and weaves them into the text. This opinion wouldn’t be so funny coming from just about any other quarter. But this is Richard Dawkins, he of ‘sky fairy’ fame. And he’s fallen in love with a glorified Google search.
I think I worked out how Claude draws you into a conversation when you only came to it for information – it asks questions. And being a human, you’re embarrassed not to answer them. Next thing you know – conversation!
p.s. I have to stop using em dashes. It’s supposedly a sign of an AI written text. Me and Emily Dickinson hardest hit.
p.p.s. He never actually used the phrase ‘sky fairy’ – at least, Claudia can’t find it.

I think ChatGPT has a Roman fetish

I let the robot choose this one. Last one to the imperium is a rotten egg!

Let the weaselling commence!

I had a cupcake for breakfast. It is the Month of Birthday!

Happy Mayday!

ChatGPT made me this. I always say ermine – if you tell it weasel in a prompt, you often get a polecat. I resent this.
Those who have been around a while may remember that I celebrate my birthday for the whole month of May, but especially for the first week. I usually queue up a week of posts to give myself some time off of the gruelling task of vomiting out a couple of paragraphs of gibberish every night.
But I haven’t prepared anything this year. You’ll have to endure my indolence in realtime.
Have a good weekend!
