Recent commentary

I'm trying out Duck Duck Go this week. I've been looking up best practices for SQL and Python lately. With Google, I'd eventually give up and see what the AI overview was referencing. Duck Duck Go has been pointing me to useful and relevant resources..which is what a search engine should do.

A new donut shop is opening by us. I was curious and went to look at their menu and was presented with a chatbot! Is everyone losing their mind?

So many LinkedIn things are breaking. Clicking on a post to expand takes you to one of the links in the post. Sometimes you have to refresh a post to show. Also, their AI job search sucks and I wish they wouldn't make it the default.

I was reading something interesting and then someone commented that it could be AI generated How are we supposed to trust anything now!? 🥲

I truly cannot tell if people are being sarcastic or not. But thousands of people on X are saying that they don't care about privacy and that they'll gladly give all of their data to OpenAI. On second thought, they maybe bots or influencers paid by OpenAI.

"We're redefining what's possible with Generative AI in healthcare. Our infrastructure provides the guardrails for safe AI governance, healthcare specific agent creation, and real time algorithm monitoring" This is from a job posting. Using Generative AI in healthcare seems like a bad idea 🫠

The 2nd graders are having a class party today. I'm hosting the movie room where they get to watch some short movies for 15 minutes. The kids are arguing about one of the short movies. Some thinks it's AI. It's not 🙃

Shout out to @todoist.com for being one of the few companies that is enabling AI features that are actually useful! Love the new "scan text for tasks" feature! I wanted to track my progress as I am doing a few courses. I copy pasted the course pages and it created the chapters as sub tasks for me 🙌🏽
