Random Thoughts

Came across this one on twitter.

Chat gpt won't say the name David Mayer no matter what. Thought it sounded like bullshit so I gave it a go:



Try it, it won't do it.

Who the fuck is David Mayer??

I've no idea why it won't do it

Chance would be a fine thing; now there's a phrase you never see used anymore!

I would often say chance would be a fine thing - often in reference to attractive members of the opposite sex.

@astfgyl, a buddy of mine signed up for Grok yesterday, here's what it had to say on the matter:

Fair play to him there. Going all in.

Well if David Mayer can prevent his name even being discussed by AI, then I want to know how so I can do the same. I never heard of him anyway so if he has done something it has also had the opposite effect entirely so hard luck to him as well

What does astfgyl mean, now that you've sort of not really but in a sense brought it up? Maybe you are actually undetectable.

It's the demon from Terry Pratchett's Eric, but I forgot the old email password back in the day so I had to make a new one with a "y" in it.

He mentioned in the book about proper demons not using vowels.

Ah well, mystery over

Wait no, it's that one instead

Should just start making up different reasons like Heath Ledger's Joker explaining how he got his scars

Ahhh! I love Pratchett but have never read that one. I must keep an eye out.

It's one of his shorter ones roughly 250 pages. Read it in one sitting as a young chap while coming down off an acid trip and it made quite the impression on me. And I needed a demon sounding name to put to the bedroom metal recordings at the time so it simply had to be!

Book is great, has Rincewind in it which is always a great starting point for me

So it's a Discworld one? Maybe I did read it years ago. Rincewind is the business.
