Log-Level - Error fine, no really I finished a story today. Which always puts me in a moody retrospective kinda vibe. It is also 12:30 am.

Log-Level - Error Things I like Just a couple days ago, I 100%ed DDLC+. It's prompted some self-reflection, and I thought I'd write down some things I like. When I was younger, this wouldn't have even occurred to me to write about. But idk, as I think about it,
Log-Level - Error The AI Communication Problem There is a problem with AI. I don't mean any of the technical, ethical, or political problems, I'm specifically talking about the problem we have of accurately informing the public about how AI works. Of course, I'm sure I'm not the first
Log-Level - Error Neuro Dev Log 7 Today I wasted some more time on the discord audio thing then gave up and moved on. However, I did work on integrating vtube control and twitch integration.

Log-Level - Error Neuro Dev Log 6 Today I tried to integrate the current system into a discord bot. The only thing I learned was that I hate working with receiving data from discord voice channels.

Log-Level - Error Neuro Dev Log 3 Another day another dev log! Happy new Year. Today I worked on putting together a proof of concept system for a end to end audio in, audio out system. I decided to not use the STT and TTS extensions because they are not designed to stream audio in or out.
