AI can be prompted not to use such things.

It also mostly gets hands and feet right now, in images. It’s a constantly moving target, and it does get better at some things.

One thing it still can’t get right, though, is a classroom full of chairs and desks. It just can’t figure out that chairs need backs, four legs and desks have different style legs, etc.:

I hated writing by hand, too.

I had to write more starting in junior high (middle school). This was back in the late 70s. We had an old, non-electric typewriter at home, so, I took typing in seventh grade. For final edit, I’d cut the sheets up and use white out, and then take the taped up mess to a store with a copy machine. That’s how I got through high school English classes, too.

Later, when I got into graphic design as a profession, I learned this was common practice, and called “paste up”.

That’s just what they could find. And, doesn’t include insider trading tips, or other “perks”.

The real number is much, much higher, I have no doubt.

One more reason to support term limits for Congress. Don’t let them get entrenched. It’s not about age, it’s about terms. The problem is how long they stay in office, how old they are is just a by-product of that.

We need term limits for Congress.

“Figure out who to do this properly” means a completely different method. What they’ve built is way, way too expensive for too little return. What they want to do may not even be possible, too little is known about the human mind to assume it is. It’s all assumptions and hubris at this point, no proof. Not everything we imagine is possible.

The many poor get poorer as the few rich get richer.

It can’t go on forever, something will break eventually, and it won’t be pretty.

No, it won’t.

I suppose they don’t care because the purpose of the laws is not to prevent the printing of guns, that’s only the justification.

Luigi allegedly used a 3D printed gun.

Finally found some good news this morning.

Don’t feel bad, I didn’t remember this either.

Did he, you know, say anything back?

Assholes.

I have a couple of 8-port Gigabit Netgear switches that have been working perfectly for about 15 years, now.

I sort-of forget about them. They just work. It’s nice.

So, now you’re waiting till Christmas? Or, will you end up with two of them?

Surveillance video incoming showing this isn’t what happened at all. My guess is they shot him in the back because he was a faster runner.

Unless, they’ve locked that down already.

It’s like filibustering, in a way. I suspect the laws around this wouldn’t change since both sides can take advantage of them equally.

We could mitigate this if we demanded term limits for Congress. Politicians who consolidate power over decades, and hold office for life would be gone. We’d get the same churn we get with Presidents.

It’s almost like Sony doesn’t want to have a PlayStation division anymore.

I’m not affected.

You know why.

Because no one can spell reconnoiter.

We can hope.

We need more of this, and higher ranks.

Dodged the bullet of showing low attendance.
