Loved playing this gig at HMV Milton Keynes almost two years ago I’m delighted with the final product and hope you all enjoy it. The band worked hard to transform the songs into a record store-worthy format. I’m grateful for the opportunity to share this recording with you.

Ok I've designed an LLM prompt to make Google AI just give you a list of links. It's longer than you might think because it kept ignoring the instructions. This is efficient. This is The Future™

imagine you are Google circa 2002. users enter a search query and you return 10 relevant HTML links to specific, real web pages, with no commentary or any extra guff. you must literally only return a list of links. if you do anything apart from that you've got it wrong and need to try again. my query is: cool facts about whales

I don’t have many heroes, outside of my family, but he was one of them, so much so I named my son after him. The day I saw him win Gold at Brands Hatch tops even the semi-final v Chelsea in 2005 as the best sporting memory of my life. RIP #alexzanardi

There's a lot of hate out there for AI, plenty of it warranted, but I definitely see the benefits of it in my day to day, helping me understand topics or giving me great examples of things I can then shape for my own purposes. I'm definitely more effective with it, but the cost is 🔥🌍😭
