There has been a lot of buzz about this over the last week, so I thought I would give it a try.
Put in this query:
Write a story in the same style as used by Fenris Badwulf on the Canadian blog Small Dead Animals.
And got this result:
Once upon a time, in a land far, far away, there was a majestic wolf named Fenris. Fenris was known throughout the land for his strength and cunning, and many animals feared him.
One day, Fenris was wandering through the forest when he came across a small, dead animal. The poor creature had been caught in a hunter’s trap, and Fenris could see the fear and pain in its eyes.
Fenris felt a deep sadness at the sight of the animal, and he vowed to never let anything like that happen again. He began to hunt the hunters, tracking them down and scaring them away from the forest.
The other animals in the forest were grateful for Fenris’s protection, and they began to see him in a new light. He was no longer just a fearsome predator, but a guardian of the forest and its inhabitants.
Fenris continued to roam the forest, defending it from anyone who threatened its peace. He became a legend, known far and wide as the protector of the forest and its animals.
And so, Fenris lived out the rest of his days, feared by those who would do harm, and loved by those he protected.

As if that is not enough, it can generate pretty good source code in the language of your choice.
I have not done any coding for several years now, so I asked it to generate source code in C# for a slide show program. It came up with a result that I copied into the Microsoft Visual Studio 2022 that I still keep on one of my computers. Had to resolve a small ambiguous reference, but it compiled and ran a pretty basic slide show. This took me less than half an hour.
I have to say I am impressed.
Pretty amazing.
What it generated was eco pap.
Hunting bad, hunters evil
More to the point, it was nothing like Fenris. No time travellers? No Set, the Jello Mold God? Pish tosh.
foobert – I shared this a number of days ago and headed it “Learn to code they said” . It is one of the places AI is taking us. I won’t pretend to understand it, but it looks like fundamental change to me. My son who does understand says this can and likely will replace a lot of jobs,including his. https://twitter.com/stocktalkweekly/status/1600605389179047936
Some takeaway quotes: “North Dakota, should it ever declare its independence, would be the third largest nuclear power in the world”, “If the wind is from the South, Winnipeg, Regina, and even Calgary will begin receiving this fallout within hours” (and from the comments), “Wow, that really says a lot. Even after nuclear war in the 80s you could see a doctor faster than you can now”.
“Every cloud has a silver lining. Except nuclear mushroom clouds, which have linings of Strontium-90, Cesium-137…”, “We can build a weapon that mimics the furnace of our sun and the winds of Neptune but yet we can’t predict the weather for than a few minutes ahead of time.”
In elementary school in southern Alberta, kinda halfway between Calgary & Malmstrom AFB in Great Falls, MT (~ 2 hours, either way), I recall going through the motions of curling up under our desks & covering our heads with our hands in case of a bomb strike.
At that point they hadn’t yet taught us to kiss our asses goodbye,,,
I was in Grade 4 in Ottawa during the Bay of Pigs crisis. Our teachers instructed us to get under our desks to protect us from fall-out. I was a tall and big/ungainly child in Grade 4, and knew that I would not fit under the desk. I was quite fearful during that time, thinking that I would be the first to go! I told this story to my “brother from another mother”. He is 6′-4″ tall and also was a big kid in Grade 4. He is Catholic and besides not fitting under the desk, he said that the nuns had them praying all day for World Peace.
What adults do to terrorize kids!
We prayed as a family during the Cuban Missile Crisis as well. Most Catholics did. Guess what?
It worked!
I was in Grade 3 in Brandon during the Cuban Missile Crisis, and it was common knowledge that whatever happened to the rest of the country, lots of stuff was going to come down right on top of us and we didn’t stand a chance. As a result we didn’t pay much attention to civil defense.
Closer to home ,the ordnance for Canadian forces is stored in Saskatchewan and we are between Minot and Cold Lake. I believe the incompetence has taken us closer to Nuclear disaster than we have ever been. And we have a population divided between thinking going to Ukraine and kicking butt will solve it and blissfully unaware. In the end the only solution is negotiating a settlement or mutual destruction. Meanwhile the serfs on both sides get slaughtered. In my opinion the whole mess should have been avoided and the largest reason it is happening is to protect the interests of the Biden crime family and the associated compatriots who have benefited. And there is a lot of them, likley of all stripes. Does “son of a B ” ring a bell? There was a time not that long ago, I would have believed we should be jumping right in . But this is SSDD, and it’s heartbreaking.
The New York Times, the paper of record, puts John Fetterman on their top 93 most stylish people in America.
Kind of a weird study given the current health care crisis, no?
We already knew young males are involved in more accidents and they have been paying higher insurance for generations.
Rather that do studies on the stupid and trivial, I’d like to see studies done on COVID, mRNA injections and adverse effects and deaths.
Has anyone anywhere ever thought to do an analysis on blood type? Is there a type higher or lower at risk to adverse reactions or are we to just assume they are all exactly the same?
“…they have been paying higher insurance for generations.”
They stopped that in Alberta. However, instead of lowering young male’s rates, they raised young women’s.
“Has anyone anywhere ever thought to do an analysis on blood type?
Thanks for the link. Anything on mRNA reactions? I’m guessing no because there is no admission they exist.
Welcome!
None I’ve seen.
It’s a known fact that young men have more accident frequency than adults and more expensive ones as well.
Jurisdictions with government auto insurance (Manitoba, Saskatchewan and British Columbia) solved this problem by giving young males the same rating as adults. The result: adults with good driving records pay more to accommodate the bad driving adolescents.
In Alberta the cry of discrimination resulted in rate increases for young woman.
And for the retired, not all that less for min coverage.
Motos are inexpensive if not crotch rockets.
Whst was the time frame here? Maybe many vaxed were home sick. A very stupid study, indeed.
I wonder if there’s a reporter out there who would want to know how much of the seventy five million vaxx injury fund has been used to date.
Well duh!
Unvaccinated people weren’t allowed to fly or take the train, so their only option remaining was to drive themselves to their destinations! More from that group driving equals greater representation in traffic accidents. That’s all.
There is talk among the insurers that the unvexxed should pay higher premiums due to their studies that show the unvaxed as having more severe accidents.
May even go so far as to deny coverage or issue a policy.
Also warning first responders to be careful in their interactions with the purebloods for fear of contracting the dreaded Coof.
Like anything worth big bucks, I’m sure the “state” of batteries will always be advancing.
I AM GETTING A NOT SECURE MESSAGE ABOUT SDA. I WONDER WHO COULD POSSIBLY BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT?
I’m getting the same shit from MSN so I temporarily switched to Google. WTF?

So the Prime Minstrel says “society” should get to decide what type of gun you sport.
And that means government, specifically his minority Liberal government.

They finally arrested Sam Bankman Fried for fraud in the FTX coin implosion. I love the irony of his name. He is a bank man. If found innocent he will be a bank man freed. If guilty, a bank man fried. It would have been even better if his first name was Waldo.
The man who took over Bankman-Fried’s company has since testified that it is unlikely that investors will get their money back.
One journalist described Bankman and his former girlfriend as “too unsophisticated” to run a $32 billion company. Yet they were sophisticated enough to defraud some of the smartest US investment firms including Mr. Wonderful out of $32 billion. Says a lot about the sophistication of investment firms in the world’s richest country.
Always jump on the bandwagon .
The Skibicki First Nation wants the government to dig up a garbage dump to find two murdered indigenous women who may have been dumped there.
They don’t want anyone digging up a former residential school burial ground but they want a landfill site dug up. I think they would have a better chance at the landfill so I’m in favor.
Maybe Sodom on the Rideau was in shock, but the balance of the country sure as hell wasn’t. Matter of fact, we’ve kinda come to expect precisely that type of incompetence. On a daily basis, no less.
Canada is being naive about the risks of Chinese technology

Two tips tonight:
First, here’s an uplifting little documentary from ’83 done by the NFB: “After the Big One: Nuclear War on the Prairies” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dl4yW_X5xsk
Some takeaway quotes: “North Dakota, should it ever declare its independence, would be the third largest nuclear power in the world”, “If the wind is from the South, Winnipeg, Regina, and even Calgary will begin receiving this fallout within hours” (and from the comments), “Wow, that really says a lot. Even after nuclear war in the 80s you could see a doctor faster than you can now”.
Second, a more general look at Cruel Bombs:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHZAaGidUbg
“Every cloud has a silver lining. Except nuclear mushroom clouds, which have linings of Strontium-90, Cesium-137…”, “We can build a weapon that mimics the furnace of our sun and the winds of Neptune but yet we can’t predict the weather for than a few minutes ahead of time.”
