… takes one to know one 😇

It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.

This whole thing was already played out on the TV series “The West Wing”, and I’m fairly sure that Aaron Sorkin got it from somewhere else.

My “smart” phone is rarely used as a telephone. It’s set to silent, all notifications turned off, blocks unknown numbers, transcribes voicemail and spends most of the day as a window to the world.

I’m not sure what, if anything, a “dumb” phone would add to my life, except more interruption, more administration to keep contacts up to date, and yet another device to charge and maintain.

Incoming tenders with prompt injection in … Three … Two … One.

It’s just you.

So … if you’re not allowed to announce that, is it okay to alert the community that you need to let fluffy off the chain, drop off the kids at the pool, dig for gold or need to go see a man about a horse?

Well that deteriorated quickly from oops to premeditated environmental vandalism.

I’m guessing that at one point the water was frozen.

They built a land bridge. They even named it. Canada.

At least they didn’t pour it down the drain.

For normal use, or for consuming more than 4 grams a day?

It doesn’t even have to benefit the minority to inconvenience the majority.

For example, two tenths of fuck-all people used the medication Sudafed to extract pseudoephedrine to make meth, but the rest of the world, me included, were required to provide id to buy the stuff from behind the pharmacy counter.

Same deal for paracetamol. Apparently a few Darwin candidates overdosed and now we can’t buy bulk packs, or any above 16 tablets per box at the supermarket.

This is tagged NSFW for no discernible reason.

I think it was Guy Kawasaki in 1997 who introduced me to the idea of eating your own dog food. In other words, use your own product.

Given how much Altman is pushing this dog and pony show, I’m happy to trust ChatGPT with his medical fate, which will no doubt reveal just how much this AI is Assumed Intelligence, or in less technical terms, snake oil.

Green Booze … just like nature intended … bit late for St. Patrick’s Day … there’s always next year.

It’s an interesting stance, but ask yourself, where is the line between advertising and promotion or sponsorship.

I think that requiring that advertising is factual might be a better way to address the issue.

Ultimately as a society we haven’t come up with a better way to communicate the existence of products and services to each other, and we’ve been using advertising for 5,000 years or so.

Here’s the thing … as crazy as a notebook with passwords sounds, it’s not accessible to someone across the internet.

WTF … that’s So. Not. Cool.

This is not NSFW and tagging it thus makes it less effective, eventually meaningless.
