there were a couple weeks where i tried Perplexity to see if AI search engines were any good.
They aren't.
If you disagree let me make something clear: I am better at searching than you.

one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.

i was just reminded of the time when internet heroes building the tech stuff we love were humble and often unknown, not bigger-than-life posers, not in it to make fortunes but using their talent to create something wonderful for the world.
Jim Nitchals was one of those heroes.

incidentally, this is precisely what everybody said would happen with robotaxis, huge numbers of empty vehicles clogging up streets.
Waymo privatized another public street:
Chanel approaching 4th, San Francisco
Possibly queued for a Billie Eilish show at Chase Center ~half mile away.
The light rail train on 4th seen passing in front of this roboherd has more passenger capacity than all of them combined.

I swore an oath to the Constitution in 1986. I've upheld it through 25 years of service and every day since I retired.
If Trump's trying to intimidate me, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to our country to be silenced by bullies who care more about power than the Constitution.

Oh no 😭
Udo took a chance on my rinky-dink festival in Vancouver back in 2000 - he went on TV interviews with me, carried 35mm film prints up stairs, went to get me coffee and even live-dubbed Giancarlo Giannini's voice when BLACK BELLY OF THE TARANTULA showed up without subs. RIP Udo, you were a star 🌟

People were arguing in my mentions today about whether the Earth is "round" when it's technically an irregular oblate spheroid and look "round" doesn't mean "absolutely perfect sphere" it means round. A soccer ball is round, a cantaloupe is round, a fluffy borb in winter is round, just go with it.

some smug asshole in NYC thinks he understands the risks to rent controlled tenants in SF better than people who’ve talked directly with city officials about clear intent / upzoning numbers don’t work w/o destroying thousands of rent controlled units and displacing 15K+ more long time SF residents
In a city full of NIMBYs, Connie Chan is one of the biggest. she’s also super anti-transit and opposed measure RR that saved Caltrain during the pandemic.
Meanwhile, Scott has led the cause for almost every pro-housing and transit bill
Scott vs. Connie is the definition of good governance vs. bad
