Decided to try a diy winter bird cam. Not sure how sustainable this will be, as the mice definitely were having a birdseed party last night. But it’s fun to watch for now.

I think these two talks by @mor10.com are excellent for framing how we think about “AI” in a more human-empowered way. Healthy skepticism in it, understanding how it works, and using the right words.

Sadly I am unsurprised. There’s been so much pseudo religious discourse around gen AI and the possibility of a god-like AGI that an app maker claiming to put (your own personal) Jesus in your phone seems inevitable. Stupid. But inevitable.
The app Text With Jesus uses artificial intelligence and chatbots to offer spiritual guidance to users who are looking to connect with a higher power: on.nbc10.com/7XM8xrf
People can text with Jesus on a controversial new app. How does it work?
Artificial intelligence app Text With Jesus lets users chat with biblical figures and it is raising debate over faith and technology.
