Everybody thought it was ridiculous in Karate Kid 3 when a billionaire ceo put his whole life and career on hold to try to defeat a teenager in a martial arts tournament, but at this point Elon is like a week away from that.

Kid has an English assignment, where school has kids first submit essay to an "AI checker." Kid did not use AI. AI checker says the use of the word "devoid" magically turned essay into 18% AI written. Changing "devoid" makes it drop to 0%. We're spending time "un-AI-ing" an essay that has no AI.

My favorite part of this is that it is indicated for colds, etc. and also crying.
It's a mixture of stimulants and narcotics. This is basically a pack of prescription speedballs. Amazing.

60 years ago today, my whanaunga Charles ‘Allan’ Aberhart was murdered in a hate crime in Hagley Park.
The jury in Allan’s murder trial let off all six of the young men who set out that night to “belt up a queer”, because their futures were deemed more important than Allan’s right to justice.

Andrew Scott deserves a boatload of awards. He absolutely owned ALL OF US STRANGERS. Everyone else was terrific as well.

I'm dreading the day when someone digs out, like, old notes George Carlin made for routines he never got around to doing, and AI-ing them into some mimicked monstrosity.

Part of why healthy people aren't afraid to get sick is- they think if they do develop long-term issues, they'll be able to go & get treated by doctors who will work day and night to fix them (as it was on House, M.D.) & don't realize there's a 99% chance they'll be told they just have anxiety
