We are years past it now so this is no longer a thing but here is a Christmas Survival tip for single or widowed parents of young kids:
Go out today and buy yourself a gift. Label it from Santa so you can enjoy your offspring finding it and handing it to you while exclaiming “this one’s for you!”

You know the "🔹AI Overview" you get on Google Search?
I discovered today that it's repeating as fact something I made up 7 years ago as a joke.
"Kyloren syndrome" is a fictional disease I invented as part of a sting operation to prove that you can publish any nonsense in predatory journals...

Biden stepping away from the nomination is sad, but good short-term news for the country.
A great man, who fought stuttering his whole life,
as well as the occasional word mis-match associated with it, has been hounded from politics because of his disability.

Vice is shuttering, and now likely WAMU too.
I’m going to re-post this every time a major media entity closes and hundreds of reporting jobs are lost. Kleptocrats are consolidating power. We must counteract it.

Saying "AI" was "trained" on the work of artists and writers is the wrong metaphor. Their work was made into a database to be copied from and reproduced in small chunks.
There is no mind learning or being trained. There is no "intelligence" in that reproduction There's plenty of artificial, tho.
