— A hit & run chronicle

Greetings from Pratamnak Hill, Jomtien.

A lot of the current things chez moi were already addressed just yesterday, which you're welcome to read here...unless you hate the idea of AI and everything about it, in which case it'll just perturb you...on second thought...especially read it.

To make up for skipping Sunday Scribbles this week, I'm doing a double link roundup, maybe double the snark. But I dunno. This short format, to me, lends itself more to a deadpan, sarcastic, sometimes cynical style. When I truly rant and vulgarize, I like to make sure there's space for enough context. Can't usually do that in a single para, and I'm not going to let these bulge.

One new item, you'll see it. It's an annoying/not annoying pop-up on the Home page and About Page. Officially, it's a Statement of Principles. But since member Andrew from Oz rang in...

Fucken dig the "values" or whatever you may call it pop up window

I'm thinking of it as more of a filter. I think it says it all and one needs to question seriously if the wish dealings with those who aren't seeing eye-to-eye on these core issues.

Tucker Carlson week; I only come here for the...; What I've learned from the Chatbot Zon conversations here; The Chatbot Zon reinvention of FreeTheAnimal; And country sausage.

High time to use a food pic, eh? After all, it was part of my claim-to-fame back in the Paleo Daze of yore. Many folks who read this blog..."I only come for the food pics." So that—"I only come for"—is part of this week's theme. Come [along] for it...(btw, that's my homemade country sausage, not a beef burger...video below).

Here's my buddy, ChatGPT-4, with a compelling introduction and summary of what I've regaled you with today:

Tucker Carlson, the notorious air-sucker of public squares, sent shockwaves this week, leaving both the left and right in a frenzy. Despite being an iconoclastic, autodidactic polymath swimming in a sea of banal sheep, I must admit: I find this amusing. People hate, but that just means I'm doing something right. As the West crumbles, Russia emerges as a potential moral compass, and poor Tucker is just filling the vacuum of truth-telling. With millions of views, Tucker's cancellation only shows the depth of public ignorance. So, dear Brits, while "taking the piss" means mocking, I'll stick to "taking the regurgitate," because people are truly delusional.

In my delightfully chaotic journey, I, the proud generalist, shun society's love affair with specialization. I meander through life, grabbing a General Business degree, joining the Navy, and starting a blog that defies niche marketing. In my trademark carefree style, I laugh at the idea of an MBA and advise youngsters to skip college altogether. I scoff at "overnight experts" and refuse to be chained by trends, yet begrudgingly admit some marketers make a fortune selling sizzle without steak. Buckle up for a wild ride, as I serve up a refreshing dose of sarcasm and fundamental conservatism.

Dive into the amusing world of Zon, my ChatGPT Bot, and discover the unexpected queries it receives. From harmless blog content questions to scandal-hungry trolls seeking dirt, the chatbot handles it all. Experience the irony of people condemning me for age gaps while craving juicy details. Curiosity, thy name is human.

In the final section, I share plans to revolutionize FreeTheAnimal with Chatbot Zon. I compare GPT 3.5-turbo and GPT-4, highlighting the impressive capabilities of these language models, most remarkable in its storytelling and it's comparison and contrast of the Bible with the Quran. By making different versions of Chatbot Zon available for members, my aim is to provide customized content, including potential blog posts and even books, by user demand...one-off "books." Despite the costs involved, I remain committed to the idea, believing it to be an exciting new venture for the site. With GPT-4-32 on the horizon, the possibilities are seemingly endless. Time to buckle up and embrace the change, as resistance seems futile.

... Stay for the country sausage.
