I forced a bot to watch over 1,000 hours of Olive Garden commercials and then asked it to write an Olive Garden commercial of its own. Here is the first page.

Reasons to live on US east coast as an engineer: 1. can wake up at 11am and still beat lazy west coast co-workers to work. 2. Low ping to us-east (best data center). 3. Timezone overlap with Europe (cool people who ride bikes and trains)

Nah this isn’t the right take. My entire career is based upon the very idea that tools got more accessible and easier to use by single artists than they ever were before, and as a result I was able to make some cool stuff!

if only there was some way to tell if someone on twitter is actually that one actor you really like or just someone who paid $8 and said they are

I'm excited that beginning tomorrow, if I see a tweet from a celebrity or company I've heard of, I will have to click through to their profile, check their follower count, and scroll through 10 more of their most recent tweets to try to make an educated guess if it's really them

Well it was fun while it lasted! Since anyone can now use this to social engineer folks, you'll probably see less of me as I work on growing my community on other platforms (like YouTube!).
