If Dear Leader kicks the bucket due to health issues, which is very likely...

This is what we said after 2020, and here we are.

I know the reaper will show up for him someday. I was hoping he'd keel over at the parade today, but so far I've heard nothing along those lines.

But Billy Joel seems to be right: Only the good die young.

My in-laws' dog tripped me a few years ago - I had her and our dog in their backyard, trying to get them to play and work off some energy. I started to run, because that always gets my dog going, and their dog ran in front of me. She's a large dog, maybe 50 lbs.

I somehow kept myself upright, but I rammed my elbow into my own ribs in the process. It hurt for weeks!

This is so absurd, but I love it.

Of course I'm standing in our garage watching a thunderstorm that just flooded our basement, with more storm on the way, so maybe it's just stress.

AI: "I know you typed cp, but I'm sure you meant rm..."

I don't go to social media because I want to hear what AI says. I'm here for the conversation with other humans.

Maybe the Klingons felt they needed a devil after hearing about the concept from humans.

Hurd, I assume.

They settled with the family of that woman that disobeyed a direct lawfully given order from a cop, to the tune of millions of dollars.

So, yes, they absolutely will pay them. In fact, this is a "legal" way for the government to fund them.

Airlines should stop flying to or over these states, to comply with the law.

Yep. I'm retired now, but before retirement a month or so ago, I was working on a project that relied on several hundred people back in 2020. "Why can't AI do it?"

The people I worked with are continuing the research and putting it up against the human coders, but...there was definitely an element of "AI can do that, we won't need people" next time. I sincerely hope management listens to reason. Our decisions would lead to potentially firing people, so I think we were able to push back on the "AI can make all of these decisions"...for now.

The AI people were all in, they were ready to build an interface that told the human what the AI would recommend for each item. Errrm, no, that's not how an independent test works. We had to reel them back in.

Anyone remember Ross Perot? He created the Tea Party, which eventually took over the Republican party.

I know airports look the same everywhere, but damn that looks like BWI.
