One of the first tests I did of AI’s (or, more accurately LLM’s) ability to creatively storytell was by prompting it to write a story in the style of H.P. Lovecraft. At the time, I was impressed by ChatGPT’s (the only model I tested) ability to pick out common elements from Lovecraft and develop an […]

Over the last few months I’ve been bouncing back and forth between ChatGPT and Claude.ai for my AI interactions. ChatGPT is what everyone is most familiar with, of course. Claude.ai is a newer kid on the block and I really only discovered them by way of their amazing docs site that was linked to me […]

After the wild ride that the early incarnation of Bing Chat sent Kevin Roose on, I’ve been fascinated with this idea of these language-learning algorithms expressing things that feel like emotions. But obviously, they are not. AI is not actually artificially intelligent — at least not in its current state. It is not actually self […]

If you want to hear me talk about how great I think Composer is (and sound relatively intelligent doing so), check out the WP Tavern podcast episode I recorded a while ago which just went live. Thanks Nathan for having me on!

I was planning to run a wintry one-shot Dungeons & Dragons adventure this week. I had a basic concept: we’re in Exandria, so we’ll theme it around Winter’s Crest, the winter festival celebrated in Tal’Dorei. There would be games and shops for fun little mini-games.

A lot of folks have been chatting about ChatGPT (that’ll be the last dad joke, I swear…), the latest experiment out of openai.com — home of the DALL-E image generation AI. I’ve been generally pretty impressed with what I can get from DALL-E — enough to purchase some credits to help generate art for my […]

“Players also told us that their experiences of verbal abuse and blurred relationships with coaches in youth soccer impacted their ability to discern what was out of bounds in the NWSL.”

My partner and I picked up a “romantic comedy as a board game” and ran our first playthrough. Here are my initial thoughts.

I recently learned how to run multiple versions of PHP on my local machine and switch between them using Homebrew. It’s pretty straightforward, actually.

Block Themes Change the Way Site Owners Interact With Their Site, but What Does It All Mean? Stop me if you’ve heard this one before.  You’re a WordPress developer. You’re building a site for a client. The site is complex, with a lot of different layouts, depending on the page and the marketing objective. Your […]

I have been using our Ender 5 FDM 3D printer pretty heavily over the last year or so primarily for making miniatures for Dungeons & Dragons. D&D minis can cost anywhere between $5 – $50 or more, so the most cost effective way of having a lot of miniatures at your disposal is, well, build […]

After four years of agency (and some product) work at Human Made, the time has come to say goodbye and start a new adventure. As of September, I have been working as an engineer at Pantheon on the new CMS Ecosystems team as a WordPress specialist. I’m sad to be leaving my friends at Human […]
