Apparently Putin has been making war with Europe threats again.
I'd like to think his odds aren't very good but you never know these days

I'd forgotten about Suckerberg and his AI glasses. There's nothing that would make me even consider buying them (especially as I already need glasses to see clearly so they wouldn't work for me anyway)

Now that I'm back to job hunting against it's nice to see stuff hasn't changed much. Several dozen AI trainer jobs plus a few jobs that could maybe do with some revision:
Handyman/woman finisher (there's a few of these)
Warehouseman/woman/forklift driver

Just seen this scenario posed on faceache:
Blue Vs Red
If 50%+ pick blue, nobody dies
If less than 50% pick blue, anyone who picked blue dies
Anyone who picks red won't die
Some claim the red pickers are selfish.
Nah, we just know how people vote against their interests to make others suffer

Managed to get my hands on both Santa's Secret Flavour Pringles and Gingerbread Doritos.
I don't have a particularly strong opinion of either but neither would be getting touched again

Who the hell comes up with these scenarios?
"You have lost all the photos in your phone. You didn't have these backed up up anywhere and would be very upset if they are lost forever. You're contacting IT to work out what happened and how you might be able to retrieve them"
They gone boo, move on

Still can't get over how many people ask things online (by posting on social media for example) instead of just typing their question into their favourite search engine.
Like, even with the crappy AI responses from googling, it's still a better answer than some random will give you

Some of these scenarios we have to do are insane.
One is for someone who is partially sighted, their screen (vague in itself) is stuck in low contrast with haptic feedback turned off and the user can't see or feel the buttons.
I wouldn't even know where to begin with that one.

Still hate the roleplays for this course, though now I have a new reason on account of the tutor adding new possibilities onto a roleplay that literally tells us what to do (no matter what solution the SDA offers, none of them work and they must redirect or escalate the issue)

They think it's a deterrent - you need only look to certain US states to see this isn't true
They probably think they won't be affected - again, see US
