Claude 3 and I spend about 12 hours while I do food delivery kicking around the ideas that have been collecting in my head regarding a huge legal gap--I know, do we need more law?--God I hope not, but there are people who have been harmed by actions that for most of human history have had no real language to point to the action, regarding stuff and things and more stuff and then some whosamawhatsis involving parts of our bodies we just now are starting to get a sense of them existing. Whoa Endorphin, you better lay down the pipe . . . that reason to not listen is on the house. Don't say I don't give you anything. Trust me, you won't care about this episode, so just skip this one and go to a fun one. Ehh . . . . how about one with a brief titles? Or go to a Conspiracy one, yeah, run along, we are closing out this season with boring things, you won't like it, bring me back a refill on this martini!
Behind-the-scenes fact: The part where I walk about how these issues have origins way back in our history as hominids, some dude approached a girl, NYU student most likely, offered tickets to see some comedy. Really put on the charm, said he was somewhat of a director, "oh you act? What monologue do you do for auditions? Can you do it right here?"
I start talking to Claude a bit louder, "This seems to suggest a cognitive difference perhaps at the medial pre frontal cortex! which is supposedly a site in the brain that is supposed to be the huge integrator of a lot of the systems in the brain! (dude is talking about this guy at a tennis court in StuyTown "you know how the Chinese move in around here and they {placeholder for racist things}, so I said to him you gonna be here for HOURS?") It's supposed to regulate emotion! supposed to be the seat of morality meaning the striving of a greater good even with no one watching!
Dude sounded disappointed when she did not agree to much after that, gave her the tickets anyway, she made sure they parted ways with him not knowing where she was going. I had nothing to do with that, they likely didn't hear me.
The following episode in no way reflects the opinions of the folks below without whose work my impulsive broadcasts would not be possible. The text in this here episode is my own, and no one else's, and I say this because I don't want anyone I respect to receive undue consequences for opinions that are AHEM MINE AND MINE ALONE. You wanna bring down a petty hammer, bring it down on this here NDA-less person who isn't a part of the machine learning industry, a person who likely has lost touch with reality anyway, so why waste your time with something that is not going to affect you much in the end, you big throbbing-membered person whose virility will light the path to other planets, oh yes, there's more where that's coming from--that's how they say it, yeah?

Any voices from the text-to-speech model that might resemble persons living or dead are coincidental, and if I use them it's because of my respect for their work, and I think they'd get a hoot that their voice was being used to show how large language models would speak 24/7 epic poems about anything if we let them. In the meantime, because I use them, I will not be monetizing any of this. This is evidence of capabilities for the public good. And my resume/CV!
