Lives of the Party: A Jalen Gonel Show

I've been using ChatGPT for over 18 months. With its memory feature fully activated, I decided to test it using everything we've talked about. As someone with dozens of 30 minute to 1hr + conversations, I was curious to see how it would remember, what it would, and how it used that information to answer various sets of questions.

Over my semester in San Fransisco, I passed thousands of homeless people on the street. On my way to school one day I thought "I've never had a conversation with a homeless person before". What are they like? So I took my mic and went out looking. I found a tall woman in her 40s named Nicole, making sketches in a notebook at a median in between traffic. I asked her if I could ask he...

What comes to mind when you hear the word hostel? Young explorers, backpackers, people stacked in bunks up to the ceiling? I didn't know what to think before I stayed in one.

I fucking hate editing. I'm just gonna say it. Much more than that, I hate the perfectionism that fills me. I have to fight that part of me often. Otherwise, I won't put anything out.  Perfect is the enemy of the good. I owe it to you all to be honest. As much as I work to put out content, I struggle to actually put it out. I'm new to this, but want to be open about the whole proces...

I give my thoughts on why you should watch Everything Everywhere All at Once.  There are times when a movie puts out an idea that makes you question everything. This is one of those.
