![[Scene is a kitchen - a middle aged woman called JANET is boiling peas at the stove. A younger more colourfully dressed woman named LIZ approached her.]
JANET:
Ugh...
LIZ:
What's up?
JANET:
I am so bored of cooking peas!
LIZ:
Have you tried...
AI peas?
JANET:
AI peas?
LIZ:
They're peas with AI!
[Liz holds up to us a packet of peas labelled: Pea-i AI - Peas with AI].
LIZ:
Al-powered peas harness the potential of your peas
JANET:
What
LIZ [Now a voiceover as we cut to a whizzy technology diagram of peas all connected by meaningless dotted lines]
Why not take your peas to the next level with Al Peas' new Al tools to power your peas?
[Show a techno diagram of a pea with a label reading 'AI' pointing to a random zone in it]
LIZ:
Each pea has Al in a way we haven't quite worked out yet but it's fine
[Show Janet and Liz now in a Matrix-style world of peas]
LIZ:
With Al peas you can supercharge productivity and make AI work for your peas!
JANET:
What
LIZ:
Shut up
LIZ:
Our game-changing Pea-Al gives you the freedom to unlock the potential of the power of the future of your peas workflow
From opening the bag of peas
to boiling the peas
to eating the peas
To spending millions on adding Al to the peas and then having to work out what that even means.
JANET:
Is it really necessary to-
LIZ [Grabbing Janet by the collar]:
THE PEAS HAVE GOT AI, JANET
[Cut to an advert ending screen, with the bag of peas and the slogan:
AI PEAS: Just 'Peas' for god's sake buy the AI peas.

Andrew has really taken one for the team (ie everyone) here. This thread continues long past the point of despair, and is worth every post
I think I might take one of these "under 20 minutes" AI skills courses the UK Govt. seems very keen on everyone doing and live-post it here... Maybe we can all learn something together! The press release sends me to aiskillshub.org.uk/aiskillsboost/ - let's go and see!

My apartment sends out notices like, "um sweetie, you can't afford to heat your home in winter, set it to 60 and wear sweaters inside" and there are mice in the ceiling, but I have a bidet. Installed it myself on my lunch break and I'm never going back.

Best TikTok thing going is the two dudes trying food from every country without leaving NYC. If you haven’t seen them yet, it’s incredible. My favorite so far is last week’s. Legit got me emotional.

some people get real RIAA style 'this teenager STOLE ten MILLION dollars of music' about copyright when confronted with generative AI and i gotta say i'm not a huge fan
copyright is still an inadequate band-aid on a gaping wound at the heart of capitalism, even if can be used to serve our ends here

Two of these have been on my to-read list for a hot minute, partly bc I keep bumping into one of these authors at local events. Guess it's a reminder I need to buckle down and start reading.
After finishing my book contest judging duties, I chose to catch up on books by trans and non-binary authors, starting with these six. I enjoyed reading all of these and will read more by these authors!
In January, I'll be reading six more books by trans/non-binary authors, and I have some in mind.

Got a straight razor shave for the first time, and... eh? Like, the hot towel treatment is nice, and I appreciate keeping old skills alive, but the shave itself was just adequate. Not sure if I'd do it again.
