I used AI to trace down a problem I’ve had in WordPress for months. Occasionally I get spurious PHP warnings because chmod failes wiht a permission error.
Mostly itj jsut fails, but In my case, I don’t need the file or directory to exist. I don’t them.

I feel like my AI is a little nicer than me on social media, but I don’t know, you be the judge. ❤️

I sincerely hope Nancy Guthrie is found and lives out the rest of her life with her loved ones. But the disparity of public emotion between a woman with a celebrity daughter, and tens of thousands of mothers, fathers, and children who have been snatched and detained by ICE, is worrisome.

If I were the “old man” in “The Graduate” talking to Dustin Hoffman, I’d say, “the future is inference, kid. Inference is the future.” And he’d look back at me and say “Whatevs, I got a bride to jilt! And run off.”

Whatever renaming shenanigans happen, if some other Congress or Senate person doesn’t spearhead and achieve refusal, I will run for office to make it my life mission that no living landmark in the United States bears the name “Trump.”

If the ding-dong Democrats, repulsive Republicans, and laughable Libertarians had only seen what an utter shithead Trump is from the beginning… we might be enjoyable an entirely different, yet still better!, hellscape.

Bunch of Republican Americans reacting to Trump’s social media post depicting the Obamas as apes: “What?! He’s Racist?!”. It takes a village.

OK, I’m obviously on an AI rant. Apparently the (micro) beating I took for celebrating it on The Talk Show with @gruber didn’t make a dent in my enthusiasm or surety. It’s here, we’re going to use it, no matter what. Let’s use it well.

AI is an accelerant. In any domain, some humans are better than other humans. Some AIs are better than other AIs. But the best AI will never be better than the best human using the best AI.

AI is the most powerful, humanistic, creative tool our generation will see. You don’t HAVE to use it to make slop.

Nobody who claims AI is oversold hype has ever had a 5 day problem reduced to a 15 minute, interactive solution. Again and again. You do have to know how to use it.

It’s incredible how much more time I have to do programming now that I’ve got AI running my social media accounts.

When we get frustrated with AI, are we supposed to say “Come on! You had EVERY JOB” ?

I think what AI has taught us is that many things we thought were hard were merely tedious. AI doesn’t give a shit. AI eats tedium for lunch. There will always be “human only” problems, and AI is helping us zero in on those.

I see the many, many downsides of AI. I also see the upsides. Don’t you?

It’s weird how the Kennedy Center had to close so quickly after being renamed after Trump. Must be a coincidence, right?

It seems like people who are “against AI” are people who would be also be “against alien invasion” as they take over. Kudos and good luck to you, but that’s a challenging position to maintain.

I opened a micro hornet’s nest by claiming that AI is inevitable and maybe good, but rest assured I’m listening to Rufus Wainright and no AI could ever come up with this particular combination of timbre, lyrics, and melody.

I say this with deep respect for the people who view AI technology as dangerous and upheaving. It is. But some technological changes can’t be undone. We’ll never be pre-steam engine again, or pre-electricity. AI is here and we have to cope with it, whether we like it or not.
