This post is garbage slop. Read BLIT instead

I wrote the post and have been working in and researching in the space for a decade and truly did spend a decade making a movie about this because I think it's an existential threat to humanity, but sure.

BLIT was awesome. Reread it recently after watching the Black Mirror Playthings episode on it most recently.

> The Glasswing Brain | Dall-E prompted by Claude Opus

Pathetic levels of slop when you cannot even write your own prompts.

Well, I thought it was cute.

I don't really use a ChatGPT subscription so I have Claude Code create a few versions of an image in different styles. I mentioned it especially because evolving from prompting an image to automated prompting loops matches some of the recent changes that we've been talking about.

I wrote the article, I really have been working and researching in the space for a decade and can share similar articles published online long before LLMs.
