I cannot wait for this to happen. 1 or 2 things is going to happen:
1.) they're full of it and won't actually leave.
2.) they do leave and everyone is happy about NYC being so much nicer.

Will be launching a formal complaint against Peter at the CRA, agent ...022W...
He asked for my fathers birthdate and I said Nov 4th. I then said "oh shoot, it's April 11th, my mother's birthdate is Nov and I always get the month/day mixed up". Apparently that was enough to invalidate my call.

I have to be clear, up-front, and honest. As much as I'm an AI naysayer and pretty negative on the whole topic. I am working on an AI startup idea that I think leverages LLMs properly, locally, and at a smaller scale where the environmental impact is more justifiable.

So my wife just says to me "Franklin is training me" as us surprised when I might not understand the context she's referring to.
One might ask how is he training her, or what made her think of that, or what's the cute story behind it. But I'm left guessing for context.

Ok, this is going to sound crazy but hear me out for a second.
An app/plugin for Teams/Slack/Zoom that first does 60 seconds at 0.5 speed. Then does 30 seconds at 2x speed. So you're always speaking... really... slowly or-really-quickly.
The best attended but most annoying meetings ever.

This sounds like... Salary to match inflation!
If inflation were real, since they say inflation is a measure of a nations growth, they should have no problem raising their budget, their salaries, and their prices with inflation. Because prices and cost increase with inflation, right?

The members will be voting on the tentative deal. The expectation is while the voting and review process takes place the picket lines will come down. Liquor distribution and other services will take some time to get to normal. Deal comes after 8 days of mediation with Amanda Rogers and Vince Ready.

Hear me out here: Open source game that takes a JSON file with prompts and parameters that feed into a LLM to output a turn-based D&D style game.
So the framework would be some simple code to parse info from the user and output the results. #MakeAnyoneAGameDev

Taking a day off just to use up vacation days. Smoked a bit and designing a distributed social network in my head. It wouldn't replace AT Protocol but more work with it. Imagine AT DNS servers that accept, store, and broadcast account listings and associated servers.

You all know I'm pretty down in AI. But about once a month I like to test it. And I think it's important to stay aware of what I'm dumping on.
So, I just asked ChatGPT for feedback and it told me I'm wrong. It's hard to accept but on second thought, I think I am wrong.

I find AI "hallucinations" fascinating. If a calculator hallucinated with incorrect, unreliable results it wouldn't be sold and engineers would return to the drawing board until they could provide an accurate, reliable product.

Holy shit. This is Angelo Elia, a legislative correspondent for Congressman Dave Taylor.
According to @rooster.info, during a Zoom meeting today, he had an American nazi flag displayed in the background.

Not sure how many have this frustration but you know how you get to a site, you click join/register/get-started. You then have to CLICK AGAIN to get to the login page. Then you can login.
Idea to resolve that, simply write a cookie. 'successful_login=1'. If the cookie exists skip the register page.
