Well, technically, since everything posted here is for everyone, including Voronwë the Faithful, then yes.

But actually, no.

Re: The Tolkien Translation Game!

It's a bit of a stretch, but it could be this one:
I grudge you nothing that I have.
Turgon to Aredhel?

(I spelled it "Areðel" earlier because I'm reading The War of the Jewels at the moment, and that's the way she's spelled there)

There's more - their money was seized when they arrived, so they can't leave, even though apparently they want to.

Re: AI! AI! A ChatGPT is come!

You know what would be a really cool experiment? Take a picture of you, ask AI to age it five or ten years, hang on to it, and see if it's accurate when the time comes.

Or, take a picture of you from ten years ago, ask AI to age it ten years and see how it did.

I’m stumped.

Were they discussing leaving Valinor and heading back across the sea?

I just had a long debate with it about changes made to The Silmarillion. I find that when challenged on things, it tends to make shit up in order to agree with you. Not impressed! Based on this and some of Dave's interactions, I wonder if the First Law of Robotics is actually "Never disagree w...
