My daughter was annoyed that i generated a picture for my talk yesterday. Normally avoid AI generated images but it was a talk about vibe coding @aifortherestofus.live.
So she drew me an alternative picture. This is a software developer that has replaced their keyboard with a tab button.

Absolutely bleak article. The product managers being scolded solidifies my stance that you can’t change a company from within. Especially if you work for the devil himself.
“Bue wasn’t the victim of a robber. He had been lured to a rendezvous… She was a generative artificial intelligence chatbot named “Big sis Billie,” a variant of an earlier AI persona created by the giant social-media company Meta Platforms in collaboration with celebrity influencer Kendall Jenner.”
A flirty Meta AI bot invited a retiree to meet. He never made it home.
Impaired by a stroke, a man fell for a Meta chatbot originally created with Kendall Jenner. His death spotlights Metaâs AI rules, which let bots tell falsehoods.

Back in the 90's I remember one particular winter in Edinburgh when I was starting University, next to Pollock Halls, and my god it snowed. It was like, proper Winter Wonderland stuff. Since then? Hmmphf.
So, is it snowing less?
