Jim, thank you for this useful insight! Sometimes there must be an overwhelming amount of history to some (most?) established characters. How far back should you go with your research? To the last reset? To the beginning of the character? Just the 'big' stories?

This is why I hate "just a tool" so so so much. You can make a calculator without access to every calculation. You can make photoshop without access to all photos. Someone show me a genai tool that didn't require all of our labour in its production. It's plagiarism software.

We have a very similar arrangement with our spiders too. This thing is a godsend:

I finally finished it. I was folding stars for this for six months and stringing them for ten hours. There are almost a thousand stars. I am so proud of it and also my hands are now ground beef.
A trans pride flag (five stripes of pastel pink and blue) made of nearly 1000 individual origami puffy stars. Every fourth star has a floral print. At the end of each individual string of stars (there are 25, forming five stripes) hangs a plastic pearl bead and an empty vial of testosterone.

AI is a threat to life as we know it & the race to develop it is the dumbest thing, as is any reliance upon it. But if you think AI will wipe out all humans you have severely underestimated how sly, determined, vindictive & violent humans can be. We'll wipe ourselves out long before AI gets a shot.
