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.

So here's a new one: if you open a credit card dispute, your credit card company needs evidence that you've contacted the other party but the options are an AI chatbot log that you can't download (screenshot the whole shebang?) or a 'callback' log from your phone that's marked 'suspected spam'.

Products that are possibly dangerous, defective, or compromised are pulled from sale all the time, and yet AI chatbots are left to continue chatting shit to suicidal teens. The double standards of accountability due to rich cunts wanting a return on investment boils my piss.

Caught in fucking Adobe chatbot loop trying to find out why I was charged double for my subscription last month, but apparently humans only work Mon-Fri in the PT timezone – just appalling for a global company.

Shouldn't this be 1st December 01/12? (Or 12th January if you're American?)
Tomorrow on Sunday, November 23rd, it's #FibonacciDay
It's a day.

My writing group, Sydney Speculative Scribes, has decided to start a Short Story Club (a reading club with a large dose of writers' craft discussion). Which then made me realise I was not, in fact, subscribed to Uncanny as I thought, though I've read many! wonderful stories there.
Do it!

Didn't care for either Lawsy or Richo, may they spin in their graves every time Vicky's dog barks outside the QVB.

Why is it so hard to find on-ear noise-cancelling headphones?
My earholes are small (weirdly shaped?) so earbuds don't stay in and I wear glasses, so over-ear headphones press the legs into the side of my head.
I love my old Bose pair but they won't refurb the padding again.

So angry about this for a multitude of reasons, which you can probably guess.

Book publishing websites in Australia, the UK and New Zealand appear to be using fake testimonials and AI staff pages to lure aspiring writers into handing over their money

This year I set out to revive/start a whole bunch of website projects I've been putting off and I swear I started them at different times but they've all come in this week, just when I actually have writing and editing work.

So I used to play Candy Crush and got to a really high level and then went cold turkey when they said they were replacing game designers with AI (that the game designers helped train as 'tools'). Instead I've started playing games on the NYT app and have blown through the Connections archive.

I wanna open an Escape Room
It'll just be a nice soft room full of stuff to help you escape from the real world. Games, puzzles, kittens, musical instruments, books, writing supplies.
Someone will ask you if you've had any interesting dreams lately.
You can't leave until you've fully escaped.

I'm killing time at Customs House before I head up to the Opera House for a concert and the police are currently trying to eject an unhoused guy and I'm not sure how to feel about it. On the one hand he did yell at everyone for a bit but otherwise is just sitting around like the rest of us.
