Company did not use the #ai to write the on box copy for a bread machine.

Absolutely not. Nope.

Loaf at first sight.

Any way you slice it.

This isn’t box copy, it’s art. 🤣

As an expat Brit living in the USA, I’m in this comment, and fully approve.

How are you?

Not bad, but I’ve got this super itchy red rash in my groin, and I think it might be infected. Wanna see it?

Officially retired. As always, I will be bringing my long distance internet snark though.

As a research computing center director, I used to provide our customers with carefully crafted #hpc services that were designed to be like a beautiful Mac book pro…

Our users sent me email demanding this:

/cc @moorejh.bsky.social 🤣
OK, who owns one of these and wants to tell the tale

Also all fun aside, how many years have we had to stand on our lawns sipping meths and waiting for any of this to be an actual viable product? I feel it all originally dates back to the Bush administration. At least.

Bush Senior.

I can also stand out in my front yard, wearing off white and tight underpants, shouting at the neighbors while drinking and dribbling orange juice and methylated spirits on my vest at least 21x faster than any of my known competitors…

Heh. It was all I could think about after reading that “safety note”. Ah. Good column inches of bluesky reverting to type.

Bodacious dude. Most excellent.
