I'm a gay analyst who knits and likes for her face to not be on the Internet.
I could be way off, because I know nothing about these people and I don't care to find out, but why does that list of things people want to fence off to AI sound like something someone would give a Personal Assistant to do? Presumably people in power already don't do those things.

I've been trying to buy less yarn, because I started feeling self-conscious about how fast I was burning through it. I don't actually want to stop making things, because it's really good for my head. So my gf and I picked out a few older pieces I'd made when I was learning, and started unpicking.

It's fascinating to see the recommendation algorithm work in real time. I have a new account. I didn't tick any topics at setup. Initially my "discover" page was mostly US politics with a bit of tech and wildlife scattered in between.

One day, I might figure out how PowerBI actually works. For now, I have two working theories. Either 1) it's a terrible product that makes no sense; or 2) I'm a dummy who is missing a trick. I'm not setting up a strawman here; I think 2) is a genuine possibility. But I don't know for sure!

I have a sourdough starter, but I don't bake bread super often, and I think that discarding starter is silly, so I just try to use it in as many things as I can. So attempting sourdough pizza today, and when it builds up again, I think I'm turning it into soup.

At some point while mindlessly scrolling social media I was introduced to the concept of a meeting sock. A meeting sock is a sock you knit while attending a meeting, for sanity reasons. Even if it doesn't work, you still have warm feet in the end?
