Taking Back Sunday didn't have to go so hard with "S'old." I'm just trying to listen to music while I work and now I feel the cold, icy hand of death hovering unseen just over my shoulder.

One of the cute things LLMs do when you're iterating with them is compliment you on things that they suggested in the first place.

Hey, that's me!

What a cool setting for a story on Mars.

Real photo of sand dunes on Mars from NASA. Quite amazing, we don’t have these patterns on earth.

I am deep in a really giant spreadsheet, which means something has gone horribly wrong with my day.

@dafsharirad The whole album is a banger. I liked 3EB more at the time, but Matchbox 20 aged a lot better for me.

[Nate Givens @writenatewrite]

Took a ton of time to edit it (this story was *long* by my standards!) but I got it submitted in time.

Now back to novel writing until the next @WotFContest deadline looms! :-)

[Nate Givens @writenatewrite]

I have an all-new short story for this quarter's @WotFContest, and I'm stoked! I think this one's special.

I just started up a virtual server with 48 cores and 96GB of RAM so that I could run in a few hours a job that would have taken my laptop about 9 days to finish.

It's routine, but I also know that high school me would have tears in his eyes thinking of how cool the future is.

[Nate Givens @writenatewrite]

Sometimes I see contests and conferences and seminars and I'm like: sounds like fun! Starting something new! Talking about writing!

Then I remember I still working on finishing my first complete book.

[𝐓𝐇𝐄🔶𝐇𝐈𝐄𝐍𝐀 @thehienaart]

Finalized, fixed and sent to og collector. Onto the next one <3

[Nate Givens @writenatewrite]

KJA's doing a project with @Coheed !?!?

[Kevin J Anderson @TheKJA]

Great conversation about @rushisaband, Terra Incognita, music and novels and multimedia projects (kinda like the one I JUST announced this morning with @Coheed) Listen at https://t.co/qE79Cq5Kf7

Today ChatGPT taught me a fun new term: "cache-busting".

I was trying to get an image in a Markdown cell of a Jupyter notebook in VS Code to refresh (new file, same filename) and this is what ChatGPT told me to do:

1. It worked.
2. "cache-busting" is part of my vocab now

[Nate Givens @writenatewrite]

I'm n00b enough to get excited at people reading my story! May it ever be thus.

Also, good synopsis: "The descendants of a crashed spaceship have grown to see old computer commands as prayer, but the latest genius acolyte has stumbled over something amazing."

"Three LLMs in a Trench Coat" should be an underground post-hardcore band with anarcho-capitalist politics.

[Nate Givens @writenatewrite]

I signed up for FB recently, and now I'm besieged by "people" trying to sell me marketing services, except by "people" I mean "three LLMs in a trench coat."
