“A friend of mine told me about your podcast a couple of weeks ago and despite being kind of a podcast junkie, you guys immediately leapt to the top of my list, and I subscribed on Patreon!
You’ll find me on there as Jen, accredited sorceress of ChatGPT - And I was actually pretty tickled that you did the science or fiction this week through it!
I’m a software engineer, and this last year has been really hard and I’ve actually been doing a lot of work with it on mental health, focused, specifically on PTSD, and depression and anxiety. I had some pretty interesting experiments that I have had some mixed success with, it might be a topic worth considering…
But I got it to write emails to enterprise SAAS customers that sound like me on a good MH day, for those days when it’s difficult to function, but I still have an obligation to my team and to the clients.
I’ll bet with some jiggling and a couple sharp kicks to the GPU cluster, I could at least get it to generate a “science or fiction” with a decent chance of success that it could be useful. (Did you know that you can actually build sub routines and variables in a thread and micro training it for specific purposes?)
Anyway, thanks for doing what you do. In some way, you’ve helped reignite my passion for science, and optimism for the future.
PS: thank you for debunking the Yellowstone super volcano. That’s one existential threat down, at least!”
