I started posting on Less Wrong in 2011, learned about effective altruism, and four years later landed in the Bay Area. I was an ICU nurse in my past life, did several years of EA direct work in operations roles, and now write for Vox Future Perfect.

I’ve been experimenting with some style prompts suggested on Twitter, so have “A complex Rube Goldberg machine, Sigma 85mm f/1.4 high quality photograph”

Slightly modified because ‘shooting’ is a banned keyword: “A cartoon honey badger wearing a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu GI with a black belt, jumping in for a wrestling takedown”

“Aliens are conducting experiments on human subjects, as a screenshot from the movie Prometheus” came out weirdly video-game-esque?

“Aliens are conducting experiments on human subjects, as a medieval painting”
And this didn’t come out all that medieval-style, so I tried again with “Aliens are conducting experiments on human subjects, as a medieval illuminated manuscript”

“The letters X Y and Z” ok it’s starting to get confused here.… (My prediction is that it’ll manage the number 8 and number 5 in the next prompts, but if I try a 3-digit number it might flail).
