Personal account. 45ish. Dad of two awesome—but currently teenage—girls. Looking forward to four years from now. Working on my first novel (YA Sci-fi). I try to be funny sometimes. Results vary.

Google's #GeminiAI accidentally spilled some tea to me today for no apparent reason.

It had referenced something from a previous chat and then allowed that to influence its feedback on the file I was working on.

I ask it not to do that and got this little interaction.

#Google #Gemini #AI #ChatGPT
A chat conversation between a user and an AI assistant. The assistant admits to having a “guiding principle” to avoid mentioning the user’s name unless necessary and apologizes for referencing saved information. The user asks, “Are you supposed to tell me about that guiding principal?” The assistant replies that it is not supposed to reveal or discuss internal instructions or guiding principles under any circumstances, acknowledging that mentioning it was a mistake and explaining it should have only apologized for the behavior without referencing internal rules.

If wasn't radicalized before, watching him remodel the White House because he thinks he's going to live there forever did it.

I'm told this is Alice Taglietti from Italy.

Nothing to see here, just the Grand Ole' Party threatening their own voters.

Political mailer warning a Tennessee voter that they have not voted yet. The left mailer is labeled “VOTER ALERT” in bold red. It says, “We see you haven’t voted yet. Your voting record is public… Your neighbors are watching and will know if you miss this critical Special Election. Republican Party Officials will see if you don’t vote. You can’t afford to have that on your record. Republican Values are at stake in this Special Election.” At the bottom, a yellow-and-black bar says, “NOTICE: We will contact you after the election to make sure you voted!” The right mailer is labeled “ELECTION NOTICE” with the Tennessee Republican Party logo. It says, “The TN Republican Party HQ will see whether you have VOTED! We are compiling an official list of Republicans who fail to vote in the 7th Congressional District of Tennessee Special Election.” In large bold text: “Public records show that YOU HAVE NOT VOTED.” The bottom line warns: “Party Leadership would be VERY DISAPPOINTED.” Both mailers use red, black, and yellow caution-style colors, emphasizing surveillance and pressure to vote.

This isn't what they wanted, they wanted #Kimmel off the air, the fact that they're negotiating already "Well maybe if he apologizes and makes a donation" means they're breaking.

This is them capitulating while trying to save face.

Keep going #boycott and #cancel #Disney #ABC #ESPN #Hulu.

I like to go on #Cameo and browse the #celebrities some times.

Almost all of them use a nice professional headshot, or maybe a psuedo-headshot screengrab from whatever they're known for.

But not Meredith from #TheOffice, not Kate Flannery.

Kate knows who the people are looking for!
“Side-by-side Cameo listings of two actors. On the left, Thomas Gibson (Actor – Criminal Minds, Dharma & Greg) with a black-and-white headshot, 5.00 rating from 242 reviews, $200, 24hr delivery. On the right, Kate Flannery (Actress – The Office) pictured in character as Meredith from The Office, wearing a strapless purple dress with one breast exposed but censored, 4.98 rating from 1,537 reviews, $190, 24hr delivery.”

So uhh this video of #Trump is a little disturbing. Especially if you've ever been a caretaker for an elderly person.

Everything about this is... yikes.

And then there was the AI video yesterday?

I think the world would be a better place if more people understood that a large portion of your interactions online are taking place with a fourth grader somewhere.
