It’s funny how three or four AI models have become the equivalent of the electronics engineer’s “jellybean parts.” Need a little AI to get people to look at your company? Just grab one out of the jar!

Relevant xkcd:

Yup, that happened to me once.

Free hosting, for everyone, without ads.

Ut-oh.

Dry Bones and Toon Link. Ut-oh.

Now introducing UbuRecall! Do you remember what you clicked on yesterday?

We do!

I don’t always pay attention to the deep lore in games, and that sometimes hits me all at once. I’ll find myself thinking, “Wait, why did I come all this way down a giant tree full of monsters to kill this lady? What the heck did she do to me to deserve that?”
