I've been increasingly worried in recent months that AI is getting so advanced, to scary levels. We might be ok for a while longer.

Ducky loves to sniff out the window. Only allowed when I'm there to supervise! 🦆&🐅 #catsofbluesky

A cat (Ducky) is standing up on his hind legs to read his face out an apartment window. He may be sniffing the air, or viewing his kingdom and subjects below.

To Ducky, I sing: Ducky doooooo-dle Please use your nooooo-dle

Ducky (a cat) is sitting on a white coffee table. In front of him is a catnip lolipop, consisting of a round ball on a stick. Ducky has turned his head 90 degrees sideways in attempt to bite the unusually shaped object .

When there's one prime window spot you gotta get creative

Two cats lie sleeping next to a window. I have no idea how to accurate describe how they're intertwined. Their rear legs are each kind of straddling the other.

Ducky, in the foreground, is in focus, while Tiger in the background is fuzzy. They both lie in spots by the cityscape window in the afternoon sun, with ducky on window bench and tiger elevated on a window mounted cat bed. An unused chicken toy lies near Ducky.

Tiger is sprawled on a blanket, with his head upside down and his eyes closed. He may be sleeping, or just pondering his new world view.

Ducky lies sleeping in front of a window. His front paws are sprawled out in front of him, in a typical Ducky pose.
