This must be how Oscar Meyer wienermobiles are made. I mean I don’t see a buncar anywhere, but all the same.

I’d rather not have robot bees. I’ve seen hated in the nation (black mirror episode).

I think I might be going on a quest in middle earth…

My local pd sends someone out even if you tell them it was an accident.

This may only be for woman-type people, I don’t know, but the couple times I’ve accidentally called they always sent someone by to talk to me just to make sure I really don’t need them.

Kinda obnoxious, since I would be very unlikely to call the PD even if they were needed (only call the cops if you are ok with the possibility someone innocent will die), but I guess good on them for… being proactive… I guess.

On iOS, 5 quick presses doesn’t call emergency services, it reverts your phone to a pre-login state and gives you emergency options, so you can easily call 911, but it’s not required to use it.

This is super helpful to know if you have biometrics enabled. So cops can’t hold your phone in front of your face to unlock it if you do this.

Try it if you have iOS. 5 presses quick, you’ll feel a vibration to let you know it worked so you can do it from your pocket.

I used to think I was in the former camp but it turns out I’m in the latter!

And that realization is fucking powerful.

Fuck it, do something!

I’ve only used genAI once, to re-write my resume. (And I played with image generation to sort of see what it can do and be a muse for me because I’m aphantasic, but I was wiiiiiildly disappointed.)

It spit out something less good than what I fed into it, hallucinated a ton of skills and experience I don’t have, and it looked like AI slop when it was done. So a lose-lose.

Might be good for people who don’t know things or who can’t write for shit (so your average first year college student, IME) but… honestly it’s garbage if you aren’t average or below already. So I’m not surprised it’s ruining people’s ability to function.

Ai is a tool for dumb people (sorry. not sorry.) to land good jobs that dumb people shouldn’t hold or be hiring for, and that’s about it.

As long as it’s functional.

But it needs to be a pit toilet.
