If I don’t drive around the park,
I’m pretty sure to make my mark.
If I’m in bed each night by ten,
I may get back my looks again.
If I abstain from fun and such,
I’ll probably amount to much.
But I shall stay the way I am,
Because I do not give a damn.
Dorothy Parker, 1926

This morning I installed a free, open source, independently developed and maintained tool. It took some doing, but I eventually got it working.

It appears that “moral panic” has replaced “witch hunt” as the stand-in for “people are unfairly holding me accountable for my crimes.” At least they’re keeping current.

Back in the early days of image models—all of 3-4 years ago now—someone I knew on Discord would test them by having them make Winston Churchill as a pokemon trainer. This is what #sora does with it. Gotta catch ‘em on the beaches, gotta catch ‘em on the landing grounds… #aivideo
