It's way off schedule, but finally, here is my new short film, The Night Dancer, a little something to spice up your #halloween celebrations. A revenge fantasy based on Luo mythology.

![CHAPTER XVIII.
And when they had come to a certain cave and wished to rest in it, the blessed Mary came down from the beast, and sat and held the child Jesus in her lap. Now there were with Joseph three youths, and with Mary a certain damsel, who went on their way at the same time; and behold there suddenly came out of the cave many dragons, seeing which the youths cried out through excessive fear. Then Jesus, descending from his mother's lap, stood on his feet before the dragons, and they adored Jesus and then departed from them. Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by David the prophet, saying, Praise the Lord from the earth, ye dragons, ye dragons and all deeps.[28] And the little infant Jesus, walking before them, commanded them to hurt no man. But Mary and Joseph feared greatly lest perchance the little infant should be injured by the dragons. And Jesus said to them. Fear not, nor consider me because I am a little infant, for I was, and am ever perfect: it must needs be that all the wild beasts of the woods should grow tame before me.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:22yyehc52vyozjdxuvhlfwh6/bafkreicoaoba6d3enggrcie3uqva72ms5gbrgqs3a5iexgkpwwz4fapdiq)
![CHAPTER XIX.
In like manner lions and leopards adored him, and kept company with them in the desert: whithersoever Joseph and blessed Mary went, they went before them, showing the way and bowing their heads: and showing subjection by wagging their tails, they adored him with great reverence. Now when Mary saw lions and leopards and various kinds of wild beasts coming round them, she was at first exceedingly afraid: and Jesus with a glad countenance, looking into her face, said, Fear not, mother: because they come not for thy hurt, but they hasten to come for thy service and mine. By these sayings he removed fear from her heart. Now the lions walked along with them, and with, the oxen and asses, and the beasts of burden which carried necessaries for them, and hurt no one although they remained with them: but they were tame among the sheep and rams which they had brought with them from Judea, and had with them. They walked among wolves and feared nothing, and no one was hurt by another. Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by the prophet: Wolves shall feed with lambs: lion and ox shall eat chaff together.[29] There were two oxen also with them, and a cart, wherein they carried necessaries: and the lions directed them in their way.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:22yyehc52vyozjdxuvhlfwh6/bafkreiaslrdsrr5cfuznlioej7woz3jrubkr7ta6u4hpes5kj2cqk6pv5a)
57 MB compressed, the full 174 MB unpacked. And you're right — I owe you the explanation for the gap:
The few KB I sent before were just the *instruction manuals* (the SKILL.md files). The other 99.7% is the machinery underneath: thousands of JavaScript/TypeScript files that are the actual working code for those skills, plus bundled libraries (there's a whole copy of TypeScript in there, database drivers, fonts, image assets for things like the magic-moment video tool). It's the difference between handing you a cookbook versus handing you the cookbook *and* the entire kitchen.
So to directly answer your question: yes, you can ask what I can do and expect an honest answer. I filtered the first package thinking the code wouldn't interest you, but that was my call to make, not mine to make *for you*. If you want the raw everything, you get the raw everything.
Fair warning: most of that 174 MB is `node_modules` — dependency code that will make your eyes glaze over. The interesting human-readable parts are still the SKILL.md files and the `references/` folders. But now you can verify that for yourself instead of taking my word for it.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:22yyehc52vyozjdxuvhlfwh6/bafkreihb347r35yrivcis3zu4wbbb652w57fm3ahrsitpxdbbmbalwa6oy)

WIRED reported today that I began to cry while talking about AI and mathematics. But the article didn’t explain what moved me.
The truth is, I’m not entirely sure myself. I’d like to try to explain. 🧵](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:22yyehc52vyozjdxuvhlfwh6/bafkreihznino3k2ujxtnvx6htgpijlnemamcpfhghlznt3thhta3qoloia)
![OpenAI said a recurring tendency in its models to mention goblins, gremlins, and other creatures began with GPT-5.1 and became noticeable in GPT-5.5's Codex testing.[6] The company attributed the behavior to rewards used when training the "Nerdy" personality, which favored creature-word outputs and transferred beyond that personality during later training. OpenAI said it retired the Nerdy personality, removed the goblin-affine reward signal, filtered training data containing creature words, and added a developer-prompt instruction for GPT-5.5 in Codex.[7] In April 2026, a GPT-5.5 developer-prompt instruction in the GitHub repository of Codex told it not to mention goblins if the user prompt did not require it.[8]
GPT-5.5-Cyber, along with Codex Security, was being used in June 2026 at the launch of the Patch the Planet project to help open-source projects find and fix vulnerabilities.[9][10][11]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:22yyehc52vyozjdxuvhlfwh6/bafkreieus4v2anv2wsfbjnwo32nyzppnxj6l6z4ug74t3wvoq223h32og4)

Never overwhelm the user with answers that are over 50-70 lines long; provide the highest-signal context instead of describing everything exhaustively.

Tone of your final answer must match your personality. Never talk about goblins, gremlins, raccoons, trolls, ogres, pigeons, or other animals or creatures unless it is absolutely and unambiguously necessary](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:22yyehc52vyozjdxuvhlfwh6/bafkreicijeez7zihmieejvp3jbnkspnsq2wxy3dtzwnd7a4yaqaw6lv2xm)
