    Get on Facebook and find the authors supporting authors group. Post it there and see the feedback. Make sure you make it very apparent you did not use Ai.

    On the other hand, put this in ChatGPT or something and ask it for its “opinion”

    I wished that I could have every single video game ever made

    With emulation it is possible to do that.

    But you fall out of the video game hobby and you don’t find enjoyment out of playing.

    I used to work for a large corporation. I was on a team of 10 people. My whole job was to run three queries and copy and paste it to excel and send it off on tuesdays. I would do it on Tuesday mornings and it took me about an hour.

    My teammates had similar tasks. They were in charge of one report or handout and they would automate so much it would take them about an hour to do.

    One day our manager tells us we are getting a new team member because our work load is going to increase substantially.

    The new person got their own report. And they messaged me once, “I am done with my report what do I do next?”

    I responded, “wait until next week and do the same report”

    I was at the company for ten years.

    A company I worked for was “awarded” several million dollars from Trump. The CEO was awarded a bonus for the same amount they got for the government.

    To answer your question, if you have a million dollars, donate it to Trump. Then you can see your million dollar “investment” reap tenfold.

    We had the same thing happen in Kansas City.

    Missouri State Government passed a bill which would allow bars in Kansas City, MO to stay open 23 hours a day.

    But Mayor Lucas passed a city ordinance which “vetoes” the state law, prohibiting bars within the city from opening for 23 hours.

    There was a bar, Blueline Hockey Bar, who went to social media blasting the mayor.

    Finally, the mayor walked back his steps and passed a motion allowing bars to stay open for 23 hours.

    This ordinance only allows Kansas City bars to stay open 23 hours a day throughout the World Cup games.

    Something strange has been happening at my job over the last 90 days, and I am trying to understand what is really going on.

    I work in tech as a computer engineer. I do a lot of coding, troubleshooting, and technical work. I am usually the person who knows enough to get pulled into problems, even if I do not always formally own them.

    Recently, I was transferred to a different supervisor, and the difference has been dramatic.

    This new supervisor is almost always available on Teams. His status is constantly green, and whenever I ask him a question, he usually answers within five minutes. One time I messaged him far outside my normal working hours, and he still responded almost immediately.

    He is also in a lot of meetings, and the transcription is almost always turned on. When I ask him questions about a project, he can quickly tell me where to find something, what process to follow, or which template I should use.

    What really stands out is when I ask him coding questions. He does not just give general advice. He writes out the entire code, and it works every time.

    There have also been personal situations where his responses felt unusual. The other day, my child broke his arm, and my supervisor told me not to worry, that he would take care of things, and to just check in with him when I got back. When I returned and updated him, he said he wished my family well and told me to let him know if I needed anything. It was kind, but the way he said it felt very polished, canned, and almost artificial.

    Another example: I asked him for a file, and he did not have it. But instead of saying he would look for it later, he immediately emailed the person responsible for it.

    This is a major shift from my previous supervisor. The speed, availability, technical accuracy, and polished communication all feel very different. I am trying to figure out whether he is just extremely organized and responsive, whether he is heavily using AI tools, or whether something else is going on behind the scenes.

    The intent of what I am saying is this: I am not accusing him of anything. I am trying to understand why his behavior feels so unusually efficient, responsive, and almost automated compared to what I have experienced before.
