Yes, AI doesn’t go rogue. It does what you asked it to do. When it does something bad, wrong, or criminal, it’s on the person who asked. The genie grants the wishes, even when someone doesn’t really understand what they’re wishing for.

Goddamn I love the world baseball classic. The storylines are incredible. The homerun celebrations are incredible. But I love it most because baseball explains so much about America and America, despite inventing the sport, has so much to learn from baseball.

I’ve discovered a new way to be insufferable at Thanksgiving! “Learn“ how to play ”Alice’s Restaurant” between 8 and 9 am. Then you can play it for your family, who barely tolerates your love of the song, but while saying “hold on. Wait. It’s this.” Or “I forget the next part, but then its...”

Here I was agonizing over every comma and exclamation mark in my correspondence, oblivious to the fact that an alarming number of extremely powerful, rich, and ethically bankrupt public figures (ahem, Larry Summers) were firing off emails that are borderline gibberish (with a side of ellipses).

I had to put in level 2 outlet, but I have a 40 ish mile total commute. I charge overnight a few times a week and never really think about it. It’s probably paid for itself in gas savings. And my super basic Bolt EUV drives better than any gas car I’ve ever owned. EVs are a no brainer.

Don’t want to lose sight of the fact that the No Kings rallies were planned specifically as counterprogramming to Trump’s parade.
