Yesterday, I just had to get a lifetime license for ChatGPT. BoingBoing store was doing a sweet deal, $59 for a lifetime license from Mind2Matter. So I bit the bullet. However, I didn’t do all my homework and it turns out that my current WORDPRESS account is not capable of hosting third party PLUGINS, I need to upgrade to a business account, and that’s a whopping $286 and way out my current price range.
And then I had a moment of clarity. Sheeet, I can install it over at Radio Free Amsterdam. So I did, and it works. And I think it’s another reason to spread the word about Radio Free Amsterdam: Grass roots music, blues, jazz, funk, soul, all produced by John Sinclair! And now featuring ChatGPT for further entertainment.
