I’ve come to abandon the use case for LLMs to summarize text because the summaries usually miss vital parts and are disappointing when I look closer. Australian government now has proof this is the case. Another proof that LLMs have more limitations we need to understand.

It's been almost 7 months since I published my Menzoberranzan walkthrough! With the length and detail of a small book, 40 maps, and well over 800 screenshots, it's surprising that it loads as fast as it does. Another walkthrough is currently in the works https://t.co/F4vUZZoVlj

12 years ago today, I finished writing my Eye of the Beholder 2 walkthrough. Still one of my biggest and most popular pieces of work, it's a great way to experience the game featuring almost 1,000 screenshots.
