Not SI, Not AI. If it is useful for research, I call it "machine learning." Otherwise, I call it the Text Extruder O Matic 5000. Or just TE.

I guess ecommerce might die in a fire of its own making. I still have my checkbook! It's ready and waiting for the RETURN. I also have lots of quarters and I can't wait for the parking apps to perish in the GREAT SLOPPENING of 2030.

Depends on the individual but the short answer is they get the arctic blast. Yes/no answers, dead shark eyes blinking at them. I got nothin to say to them and no sunshine to share unless they are serious about making amends.

The ONLY reason we might get a blue wave is because we elected a fascist SO corrupt, he could drive the country off a cliff. We haven't even "felt" the landing yet. "The landing" is what I hope will net us a President AOC/Ossoff, enough bandwidth to rebuild democratic institutions. Manifesting.

Looking through the comments, I am learning it's actually people pretending to enjoy pretending managing a team and using AI because it will help them "win" at the pretending game they don't actually enjoy. ....is the situation thus far

Children are not your "property." They are themselves. As a parent, you provide safe growing conditions, you share their joy, teach them your skills, and help them through challenges. You are a temporary captain of the ship. It's their ship.

What can we do with #optogenetics? It takes us inside the "black box" of the human brain. Here's just one example of the marvelous neuroscience tools emerging from the work of Karl Deisseroth, Peter Hegemann and Georg Nagel. engineering.washu.edu/news/2025/Pr... #ScienceSky #NeuroSky #NobelPrize 🧪🧠
