## Resource

Grab a beer and join us tonight for another installment of Necro Overtime! First, a downed US F-15 pilot, rescued after being shot down over Iran back in April, told intelligence officials he saw something strange before he ejected: multiple Iranian drones hovering in the air, moving as one, in a formation that resembled a jellyfish. Then, a Cornell paper that figured out why AI chatbots, when asked to write a story, keep inventing the same character. His name is Elias Thorne, he's almost always a lighthouse keeper, and he shows up in two-thirds of all the stories these things generate. We'll get into where this tupla-like entity came from and why the machines can't stop summoning him. https://www.necronomipod.com https://www.patreon.com/necronomipod Learn more about your ad choices.
