Never 👏 blindly 👏 believe 👏 AI 👏 answers 👏

Took a screenshot from a @theverge.com article. Cropped the device. Asked ChatGPT “Where can I shop online for one of these?”

Commence facepalming 🤦‍♀️

Nothing like being able to taste the smoky air to “celebrate your independence” 🤦‍♀️

I’m catching up on the latest Apple Immersive experiences in the #AppleVisionPro.

Adventure S1, E4 “Deep Water Solo” is another amazing experience. The feeling of “being there” is remarkable.

Honestly, the only other way to experience something like this would be to (gulp) go do it!

I know that AI companies are building guardrails to protect us from AI. What if AI just gets impatient with us tho? So if we ask them to collaborate with us, especially when there is a deadline involved… what if they just get exasperated from having to wait for us slow “ugly bags of mostly water”? 🤔

Upgraded to Claude Pro. @anthropic.com definitely makes a great AI, and their hearts seem to be in the right place. They’re innovating responsibly. Highly recommended.

People often confuse “free” Google productivity apps Workspace, wondering why anyone would pay for it. The difference is your data privacy. Especially now with AI.

Gemini on “free” accounts is trained on your data; human reviewed!

Gemini on Workspace doesn’t train on your data; stays internal.

The new episode of the Apple Immersive series “Boundless” for the Apple Vision Pro is “Arctic Surfing”. Once again, Apple spoils us with the high-quality of these videos. (Everything else is a letdown compared to this!)

1/4

“Instead of going down this path, lawmakers should advance policies that raise new revenues from corporations and the wealthy, provide targeted tax credits to middle-class and low-income families, and use the money raised to invest in the public good.”

Thoughts on Xitter

I (sadly) still see people posting links to X here on Bluesky, even if their intentions are good. For example, if someone is trying to draw attention to something terrible posted over on Xitter, or to share an important news story that they happened to read there.

It is less than 99 days until the 2024 Election in the USA. In 2026, on the 4th of July, it will be the 250th anniversary of the USA.

250 years.

Who do you want to be President for this historic occasion?
-
Will this be the sunset of American democracy, or the sunrise of a new era of progress?

So let me get one thing straight: apparently “God” saved Drumpf’s life — one of the most vile people in the world — but not the kids at Sandy Hook, Parkland, Uvalde, etc?! All the other daily shootings? Cancer patients? Victims of sex trafficking? Hmm anyone? Got nothing, huh? That’s what I thought.

“Nobody seems to have language to say: We abhor, reject, repudiate, and punish all political violence, even as we maintain that Trump remains himself a promoter of such violence, a subverter of American institutions, and the very opposite of everything decent and patriotic in American life.”

“Everything that gets labeled "far-left" in the US is common sense policy the rest of the industrialized world. Guaranteed health care. Paid family leave. Government drug price negotiation. Gun control.
It is not radical. We are talking about the basics of a functioning society.”
