Now, if I could find a free way to make his eyes less evil, too.

Don’t make me figure out again how to do compound interest on Excel to calculate the rate if it was in the stock market…

Not AI. Penguin Random House created an unburnable copy of the Handmaid's Tale. Printed on fire-resistant paper and bound with a flame retardant cover, the book was auctioned off. The still is from the promotional video where Atwood took a flamethrower to it. Fuck Gilead. #booksky

Ironically, Trump is doing a big favor for renewable energy by making oil and gas much more expensive. Only through sheer idiocy, though.

To misquote Cory Doctorow, the human in the AI equation at the endpoint is there to take the blame when the AI conclusion is wrong.

I got roundly roasted by wannabe pundits a few days after the 2016 election by complaining about Silver's prediction that Hilary had a 90% plus chance of winning. I seem to recall his lousy prediction didn't change until late in the night when it was obvious to all.

AND the cybertruck, not the Edsel, will now be the official worst automobile in history. And Elon Musk will go broke and will have to have 30 children and 6 partners to support financially.

AI image by me, using MS Copilot; it took 8 tries to get it right. I had to call them "chimpanzees with wings on their backs" to get around the potential problem with intellectural property from that 1939 movie everyone likes.
Flying monkeys over the White House; they are wearing tactical body armor like ICE agents and are wearing red baseball caps with ICE written on them.

You must never speak of Star Trek again. Anyways, for me at least, it is really hard to keep up with all of the new Star Treks over the years. In my declining years, I tire of all of the Star Treks and Star Wars. I'm done with that stuff.

They and Larry Ellison can buy all the media they want but no one is going to force us to watch or read a single story of theirs. Combined we can completely destroy their profits.

No, because the puzzle maker reverse-googled that to fit the them. I had 3 years of chemistry in college and never heard of that compound.

This is of course a huge mistake on their part...make sure more Americans get scared of the military takeover of the US. Documented live on TV.

Their graphics still stink though. Dark blue lettering on black backgrounds is the type of thing they love. The writing is usually pretty great, though.

Again, the NY Times obsession on tennis factoids. Useful only in my life as answers for their crossword puzzles.

I said no when the renewal yearly price was over $150; yes when it suddenly plunged to $50. I got a survey a few weeks ago asking me about various other possible subscription packages whose yearly cost was as much as $450.

I regret having paid for an entire year's e-sub last October. Maybe this will be the last one of their articles I will read. Odd that they think a possible attack on Venezuela is not mission creep.

AI can be used to write a fake dismissive explanatory press release from the White House. For satirical reasons, of course.

The first hurricane/tropical storm that passes over it will destroy it and the hundreds/thousands of lives there. Sometime in the next 6 months.

Because they want it all. They will not be happy until they are in their high castle and we are toiling in their fields like the dark ages. Serf's up!

Those are probably not even top of the line toasters: they might not even have a Bluetooth interface.

Almost exactly when I woke up. I might add a perspective: we are superior beings that do not require as much sleep as other more mortal beings do. Eventually sleep will arrive. Hopefully when not in the driver's seat.
