Life is beauty wrapped in a nightmare. And I'm just chipping away at the shell, looking for that creamy center.

Me: Is there something I could do differently to improve my sleep?

Doctor: I recommend not looking at your phone for at least an hour before bed.

Me: So nothing then.

Let’s meet at the sand-pit. We’ll listen to REO Speedwagon unironically and drink Boone’s Farm until we see balloons

It's World Octopus Day! These magnificent creatures have 9 brains, 8 arms, 3 hearts, and they hunt sharks. What are you even doing with your life?

Sorry but I don't have the energy to go to another new social media site lol. I was briefly on Mastodon years ago but wasn't really my vibe. Someday I hope to disappear from the internet entirely, but until then I guess I'll just be here chilling in the background.

So I guess "raised by ai" is gonna be the new "raised by wolves?" Even worse in a way because the wolf kids would have some survival skills at least lol.

Some parents are letting their kids talk to ChatGPT in the guise of characters. Some are using it to tell bedtime stories or create coloring books.

"My son thinks ChatGPT is the coolest train loving person in the world. The bar is set so high now I am never going to be able to compete with that.”

‘My son genuinely believed it was real’: Parents are letting little kids play with AI. Are they wrong?

Some believe AI can spark their child’s imagination through personalized stories and generative images. Scientists are wary of its affect on creativity
