That stupid epic handshake meme I like just a bit too much:

Left hand: “Why lookst thou so?" "With my crossbow
I shot the albatross.”

Right hand: “tonight’s ballgame”

They meet: “mariner v bird”

This is amazing. I laughed out loud www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

As 32-year-old Rich points out, though, "it's not like using ChatGPT guarantees success".
When he met someone in a bar one Friday night and swapped social media handles, he asked AI what his next move should be.
ChatGPT discerned that sending an initial message on Monday midmorning would set the right pace. "Then it gave me some options for what the message could be," says Rich.
"Keep it light, warm, and low-stakes so it reads as genuine interest without urgency," the bot advised. "Something like: Hey Sarah, still laughing about [tiny shared moment/reference if you've got one] - good to meet you!" Rich went back and forth with ChatGPT until he felt they'd hit upon exactly the right message ("Hey Sarah, it was lovely to meet you") but sadly she never replied, he says. "It's been two weeks now."

Yesterday, my feed was a full batter behind. It was so frustrating!

Spent! Aargh.

Meredith Guthrie @meredithea.bsky.social · 1d

Just a heads up that AI is still hallucinating the heck out of sources. Just graded a paper where 3 of the 4 sources used are real authors supposedly writing for real journals or newspapers, but the articles cited absolutely do not exist (I know, I just spend half an hour looking for them.)

I’m watching the game live (the Picture in Picture is blank in screenshot because: Hulu) and watching the play by play because I’m STILL a full batter behind the live game. Thanks, Hulu! Your live feed stinks!

This game is so long the score doesn’t all fit. The first inning is slowly being pushed off screen

A screenshot of the box score of the Oct 11 Tigers Mariners playoff game, currently in the 15th inning. The first inning score is only partially visible because it won’t fit on screen.

Everyone is playing great defense (at least, in this half of the may as well be a doubleheader) and not hitting so this could go on foreveeeerrrrr. I predict that someone scores on an error so everyone forgets about the poor Phillies pitcher From yesterday.

One of the announcers wants everyone to bunt. The one guy that tried got hit on the hand by a pitch 😬

At a certain point, the ALCS doesn't actually "start." The Jays just show up and take over a dugout from one of these teams and the game continues.

I’m watching the Tigers/Mariners game on Hulu Live and texting with @wendithajune.bsky.social and I realize my feed is delayed by about about 3 minutes. What the heck, Hulu!!!! I want to watch the game LIVE.

Is anyone else having this issue? #ALDS
