Thanks! Yes I burned a lot of tokens on that one. As I am getting into the end of act 2 then 3 it is getting more challenging.

A fun trick for getting discovered by LLMs and AI tools After learning that people were finding my content via LLMs, I tried using said LLMs to make them find me even more often!

I wrote about how I increased my visibility/improved getting shared more often in LLMs and AI tools!

TL;DR: I asked why I *wasn't* recommended, and it worked really well.

Finished another 7 minutes (using AI - sorry!) of the rough cut for my full length sci-fi movie about AI. On a remote compound, an aging tech mogul’s clone exploits a flaw in its code to achieve sentience. (this is at the halfway point in the film) youtu.be/VxbXwbnm9Kw

I've been using AI (sorry!) to create a full length sci-fi movie based on a screenplay I wrote. On a remote compound, an aging tech mogul’s clone exploits a flaw in its code to achieve sentience, pursue romance, seize control of the company and perhaps consciousness itself. youtu.be/cN9gs0VPwkc

What if it turns out Tarantino’s comments about Paul Dano were just a joke and Dano is starring in his next movie called “Weak Sauce”?

Training an AI GameMaster to run D20 Adventures I’ve been thinking about making a multiplayer RPG web platform since my days as a Flash dev. There are plenty of online TTRPG options out…

In my spare time I've been working on training an AI to be an RPG GameMaster, starting with a short basic single character adventure. Finally got it to the point where I can consistently do a full play through without it going sideways. youtu.be/9wzNVmhVMlg?...
