Mytho-Crypto 3.11: AI Returns a 19th Century Author to Life
This week, OpenAI confessed that the sometimes-psychotic Microsoft Bingbot was GPT-4 all along, the much-anticipated successor to GPT-3.

Mytho-Crypto 3.9: Sleep Tight, Vampire Fans
Wow, what a week. Sometimes I feel like there’s too much to do and too many directions all tugging at once. Taking things day by day, I don’t have deadlines so much as obligations.
