escarpment

so this happened

Yesterday, a number of my former colleagues texted me via WhatsApp, and all on one day for some reason ::chuckle::. Viki from Design, Fede from QA, Aru also from QA, Hernan from Product, and Marina, who's also no longer in Finalis.

Anyhow, whilst speaking with Aru, he got the notion to prompt Reggie (the custom GPT I set for the Compliance and Delivery teams—and which turned out to be useful for just about all teams in the company) and this ensued:

Aru with Reggie (1)

Aru with Reggie (2)

...which of course warmed my heart greatly. ::chuckle:: I showed it to Viki in our chat, and she said, "WOW. Sometimes I think they have feelings." To which I replied: "They’re synthetic, algorithmic ā€œfeelings,ā€ yes. But it’s very expressive, surely."

And now, I feel a pang of regret to not be able to continue developing Reg's persona over time. I wonder if anyone at Finalis will feel the urge to do so. Which of course means that it will no longer be a Lloyd-inflected persona, but a more varied one. Which is entirely intriguing for me to contemplate.
