I had a religious youth and believed in an immortal soul. Even when I came out of that, I quickly believed in the potential of radical transhuman life extension.

My dude you're so, so, sooo close to realising it, you should spontaneously quantum-tunnel into self-awareness any second now

The storm rages within

Yet I hold F to pay respects

Apparently including a camera-esque filename in prompts for the latest mid journey release can make it more photorealistic.

This entire enterprise is just shamanry, we are like two steps away from "throwing a goat into a volcano makes your next prompt more realistic"
