 This post is largely based on the description on the [ArchWiki](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NFS#As_systemd_unit).
 My NAS' hostname is `sleeper-service`, and I'll be mounting the `Music` shared folder.
 
-You'll need the appropriate package to mount NFS filesytems.
+You'll need the `nfs-utils` package to mount NFS filesytems.
-On Arch Linux, `nfs-utils` is what you'll be after.
-On Debian, the client pckage is `nfs-common`, which may already be installed.
 You may also need to configure security on your NAS to allow NFS connections from your local machine's IP.

-# Game dialogue with ChatGPT
-
-[ChatGPT](https://chat.openai.com/chat) has become the latest AI application to enjoy viral popularity.
-At time of writing it's a closed-source research tool developed by OpenAI, with the only access being via their web portal.
-Users have to create an account to interact with the bot, and have no API access, though they no doubt have one internally.
-I think given its capabilities, this is probably a good idea for now, but I'd like to outline the impact it can already have in game development, even in its fairly limited form.
-
-However, it can already be made immensely useful for content generation, without any kind of API access.
-Generally, characters come in two flavours: main characters, whose motivations and actions shape the story; and generic NPCs, who exist to fill out the world for the player.
-
-For the story to carry the author's intent (which they might not necessarily care about), it would probably be best not to leave ChatGPT to generate a plotline on its own.
-Its susceptibilty to bias is a problem - try generating men or women and count how often they're describing as petite, as having chiseled jaws or as wearing form-fitting dresses.
-It can be coaxed out of this with enough description, but lots of manual intervention defeats any content generation technique.
-
-The other group of characters, though, I think represents ripe pickings.
-Often in a game world, background dialogue quickly becomes stale, as lines are reused.
-ChatGPT can already easily be used as a supporting writer to generate a huge amount of less-than-critical dialogue.
-Take, for example, a merchant.
-
-![generating merchant dialogue](merchant_prompt.png)
-
-This psuedo-format is instantly combatible with a simple templating system.
-It would be trivial to generate variations using perfectly traditional programming techniques.
-This prompt took a minute to write, and includes specific about the character's context, as well as a slightly more than default personality.
-
-We've instantly generated 8 perfectly workable dialogue options for our character, from some basic and mostly templated information about their context.
-However, we notice that our item choices weren't included in the output, though we described them.
-So we ask:
-
-![merchant items](merchant_items.png)
-
-And, instantly, another 8 lines.
-We now have, after a modicum of input, 16 possible lines for a background merchant character to respond with when interacted with.
-With some templated prompt generation, this could be made even faster than the description given here.
-
-It's also capable of going beyond just lines dialogue.
-[Ibralogue](https://github.com/Ibralogue/Ibralogue)'s developer taught it the syntax, had it generate an example and then taught it a new feature:
-
-![sprite prompt](sprite_prompt.png)
-
-![sprite response](sprite_response.png)
-
-All that's left is to copy the output and paste it into a text file for a game to use.
-
----
-
-This is barely even a scratch on what ChatGPT or systems like it are already capable of.
-At present, the website gets overloaded, you can't save and reload conversations, and its content filtering is very much evolving problem. 
-However, even with those limitations it's an extraordinarily powerful tool, and this is just one very minor example of an application.
-
-That's it from me, but I'd love to read more discussion about use cases and the ethical issues at play.
