Genevieve Valentine wrote a couple of books with that premise, Persona and Icon.

I know of at least two people who grew orange trees from seed at work in a Winnipeg office building, so never say never, I guess!

Boss asked me to learn to use Claude, and I've figured out why women aren't adopting AI at the same rate as men: it takes my instructions, uses "logic" to determine that I'm wrong, and give me an incorrect answer to a question I didn't ask. And I don't need machines to replace human male colleagues.

This is a nonsense poem I wrote years ago for my kids. I found myself reciting it this morning. Maybe it’ll brighten your Friday :)

Copper Feet
(Nick Harkaway)

As I went boldly down the street
I met a man with copper feet.
He said: “I beg to disagree!”
I said: “But surely not with me?”
“Why, yes!” averred the cupric bloke;
“But sir,” I said, “I have not spoke!”
“Indeed,” said he, and then reflected:
“It was your silence I rejected.”

I despise with the heat of a thousand suns the way I have to be suspicious of all art I see now while I investigate it's authenticity, because this couldn't be more diametrically opposed to the state of mind one should be in while taking in all art.

fuck sam altman forever for taking away the last places where we could engage in good faith: the creative arts, which should be a testament to human ingenuity. i am so mad that everything i read or listen to or admire is now tainted with doubt. do you understand? he is a thief of joy and i HATE HIM

I do not want to be on guard when I read manuscripts. I do not want to be on guard when I read slush. I do not want to be on guard when I listen to music, when I look at visual art, when I WATCH A FUCKING COMMERCIAL. I hate Altman so much I burn with it. He and his kind have stolen the WONDER.

This is why you need to be reading books and writing your own emails, by the way. When you outsource your thinking abilities, you risk turning your brain into soup. Heavy dependence on AI has already been linked with severe cognitive decline. What you don’t use, you will lose.

Headline in today's Guardian that reads "Reading and writing can lower dementia risk by almost 40 percent, study finds. Cognitive health in later life is 'strongly influenced' by lifelong exposure to intellectually stimulating environments, say researchers."

Portmerion, Wales. You could probably tour it in an afternoon, and then enjoy just hanging out in Wales for the rest of the weekend. And it looks like the sort of place where one person could miss a lot of details, so touring with a group would be really fun.

I do enjoy cover versions that start out sounding like the original and then break out into their own thing, so add GOB’s cover of Paint it Black and Hawkwind’s cover of Gimme Shelter to the list.

I’m sure I will think of half a dozen better examples after I hit the reply button, but here are a few I can think of: Birdhouse in Your Soul - They Might Be Giants True Faith - New Order Blue Monday - New Order (also the Orgy cover) Itchycoo Park - Rymes With Orange cover

it doesn’t have to be big, either. I decided to try making friendship bracelets, and it’s surprising how calming tying a few knots in string at a time can be. (Never tried them when they were big in grade school, but Dollarama had a kit.)

Yeah, that’s a reasonable statement. It’s just funny to me, as someone who grew up near Gretna, to consider Brandon being nearby. (As an aside, I am very distantly related to Van Vogt.)

Oh, interesting. He was the only other SF Mennonite author I could think of, but Wikipedia said he was born near Brandon. Of course, there is no mention of where he lived between birth and moving to Toronto.

in Canada we have a store called "Canadian Tire" and you're probably thinking "a store named after a tire definitely has a circle for a logo" but no, you're wrong. they chose a colossal red triangle

ISTR that when the ChiZine mess happened, one of the former employees said that the owners ended up changing suppliers in order to pocket more of the profits.
