Last year I had trouble mixing these up with lesser scaup. They flock together.
We had a flock of >200 lesser scaup Jan-Mar.

Ok. Got it. Check.
Thanks for enlightening me.

Hmm, don't know. My wife pays much more attention than me, she sed, president. Governor more realistic?

You know, she actually seemed to show empathy (banned by the GOP) for Epstein victims, + embraced a common sisterhood, + stood up to the Orange Turd.
I always felt she looked like she had more than average Neanderthal genes. But ...
People can evolve, change.

She's running for president.

She's running for president. Still rejoicing?

I don't think so. The Orange Turd likes to back winners, & Mamdani is a winner. Plus young & handsome. The Orange Turd is primal in his responses.

??? I'm not sure I have ever heard either term ???

As ye sow, so shall ye reap.

Shitocracy, nice! Just added griftocracy & pedocracy to my list, shitocracy is a keeper.

My oldest daughter Erica, who is a designer, has done some posts on best uses for creatives, & speaks fondly of Claude.

When there is report after report of problems, I don't need to test it myself.
I wrote code for many decades, I have 0 interest in learning how to engineer prompts. I'm 74 YO, life is too short.

Totally, LLMs are a great tool for creatives.

June 2024 I finally had had enough of the endless “AI” hype & “AGI any day now” bullshit.
I vented.
Since then 61 follow-up posts. I’m kind of tired of it, but the bullshit just keeps on coming!

I worked in computing for 40 years, including AI. I retired in 2012.
I have committed to never use LLM technology.
Some of us should remain slop free.
I follow 250 blogs, I haven’t seen anything about any new OpenAI research. I did read where GPT 5 was a tremendous flop. Nothing since then.

There is no good answer to "hallucinations", & prolly won't be. LLMs really are just autocomplete on steroids.
The world is being filled with "AI" slop. Statistically it is somewhat accurate. But it is also sometimes completely & dangerously wrong.
& the data centers add to the Climate Crisis.

They'll be dead soon. As will I.
I was raised racist, there's no way you can burn the 1st 18 years of your life out of your brain.
Best thing is for all the racists to die sooner rather than later. I'm working on it ...
