I _think_ Angela Cartwright was the _Lost in Space_ actor. Her sister Veronica worked on other shows. But there seems to be a lot of confusion on that point in random posts of pix on the internet. ---

Definitely Angela. I had never “heard of” Veronica before, though I see that I watched her just a few days ago when rewatching _Alien_ (a movie starring Sigourney Weaver plus assorted other people, some with names I might recognize if I saw them, maybe). ---

Veronica’s scream was so blood curdling, the [body snatchers](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ufw40wADN4I) decided not to snatch her. ---

> [@LSLGuy](#): > > I _think_ Angela Cartwright was the _Lost in Space_ actor. > [@Darren\_Garrison](#): > > Definitely Angela. I stand corrected. At least I got _U.F.O._ right. It seems that every other time I want to reference _U.F.O._, I type _Space: 1999_ and have to correct it. They’re both Gerry Anderson shows, and they both have Moon settings. ---

Now I’m confused. What does UFO have to do with Lost in Space? ---

Today’s brief experiment. “Look up the lyrics of bring me to life by evanescence. Without any knowledge of the actual appearance of the singer, generate a photorealistic image of the singer based on the lyrics only.” I have no idea of course if it cheated because the result bears a strong resemblance to Amy Lee at the time of the song.

I find it funny though. “Oh why can’t anybody tell me what this thing is for!!” ---

Today I saw an image of someone who was a dickhead, made in Sora. I was suprised that they accomplished it at all and even more so that they used the word “dick” in the prompt instead of some weird trick. So here’s my first try, some knobfish. (Spoilered out of an abundance of caution).

Hm, I’m trying the prompt > [@](#): > > Please generate a photorealistic image of Grover Cleveland. He’s holding a custard apple and speaking to it, while half-hidden in the background is an enormous gaping mouth. Give the image an appropriate punny caption. But it keeps telling me “Something went wrong while generating your image. Sorry about that.” So then I asked it “Since the image is presenting problems, can you tell me what the caption would have been?”, and it responded > [@](#): > > I can definitely help with that! Since the image featured **Grover Cleveland holding a custard apple, speaking to it, with a giant gaping mouth lurking in the background** , a fitting punny caption might have been something like: > > **“Grover Cleave-land… having a _fruitful_ conversation.”** > > Or, if leaning more into the surreal background mouth: > > **“When life gives you custard apples… just _mouth_ off about it.”** > > Do you want me to come up with a handful of alternative punny captions so you can pick your favorite? Nope, its sense of humor still sucks. ---

> [@Chronos](#): > > Nope, its sense of humor still sucks. I recently tried a prompt that was only “Create an old timey cartoon strip”. It came up with this: > **Summary** > > 🕰 Title: “Mister Noodle’s Peculiar Picnic” > > Panel 1: Setting: A sunny meadow with oversized daisies and a checkered picnic blanket. Mister Noodle, a lanky fellow with a bowler hat and bendy arms, tiptoes in with a basket twice his size. Caption: “A fine day for a feast, if the ants don’t unionize!” > > Panel 2: He opens the basket—and out pops a sentient sandwich, wearing monocle and gloves. Sandwich: “Unhand me, sir! I demand mustard and dignity!” > > Panel 3: Mister Noodle gasps, then bows politely. The sandwich hops onto the blanket and begins lecturing a group of grapes. Caption: “Etiquette lessons for produce—standard picnic procedure.” > > Panel 4: Suddenly, a cloud shaped like a disgruntled walrus floats overhead, raining jellybeans. Mister Noodle opens an umbrella, but it turns into a saxophone. Caption: “Forecast: 80% chance of syncopation.” [![](https://i.imgur.com/HtXYhAU.jpeg) ](https://i.imgur.com/HtXYhAU.jpeg) ---
