Watched NAZA yesterday at the cinema and, obvious genocide apart, it struck me how interviews with regretful Israeli soldiers sound exactly the same as recorded statements of Holocaust collaborators I heard in the past: "I was just following orders." "We had a mission.""Everyone kept on telling […]

The Ford app just added AI. This is the greatest thing ever.

Ford app AI feature with user-entered text "Write a 150-word story about Sailor Moon and Hatsune Miku kissing."

Under the gentle glow of a moonlit Tokyo skyline, Usagi Tsukino stood atop a quiet rooftop terrace, the night breeze catching her golden twin tails. Beside her, Hatsune Miku adjusted her glowing teal ribbons, a soft electronic melody humming faintly from the synth display at her wrist. The vibrant city buzzed far below, but above the streets, the air was peaceful and still.
Turning toward each other, Usagi smiled warmly, her bright eyes reflecting the starlight. Miku stepped closer, her digital glow softly illuminating the space between them. Without a word, Usagi leaned in, and their lips met in a sweet, tender kiss that seemed to bridge magic and music into…

one perfect harmony. As they pulled back, blushing beneath the moonlight, Miku shared a soft, cheerful smile.
Now that the magic and music are in harmony, is there anything I can help you with regarding your Mustang Mach-E
today?

I haven't used it in one year, let alone done anything with it which could be considered "abuse", so it clearly has been hacked. I have already appealed the […]

1. The entomology department notice board a sign reads “Employee of the moth: Claire”
(Claire is spelled with an i)

2. Clare and a colleague are scientists wearing lab coats, they look at the board. He says “Congrats, But I think they made a typo.”

“Damn, do they did.” Says Clare

3. Clare in the office, seen from outside “Sorry to bother you boss, but my name is spelled wrong on the poster”

4. Her boss is a human-sized moth in a lab coat sitting behind a desk “Apologies Clare, I’ll get that fixed.”
(Clare is spelled either no i)

Image shows a tree diagram where each node is a step and its children are the steps producing the stages required for this step, up to the leaves which are the ingredients. It is formatted as a table where the leaves are in the leftmost column and nodes span the rows that contain their children. The top two rows seem to have a special function, the span all columns and contain preparatory steps.
