Some wooden cups I made last year. Still in the process of getting the new house setup, so it's been a while since I've done anything on the lathe. Sigh... soon.
Sat through a 1.5hr long meeting with some Big Corp sales dorks talking about using AI to do data analysis. "But what about hallucinations?" They describe how it gets done by a separate, deterministic system.
So your "AI analysis" big selling point is that it doesn't use the AI for the analysis.

This chunk of wood came from a root of a tree in my back yard. It has some amazing color variations of black, purple, and dark brown. I'm not entirely sure of the species. It smells like pepper, but that could be dirt. It is relatively easy to cut, but it is dulling my tools very rapidly. #woodsky

I've had a few close calls regarding getting caught not paying attention during online meetings, but fortunately our teleconferencing is so notoriously bad I can just say, "I'm sorry, you broke up there, can you repeat what you just said?" and nobody notices.

The weight loss app Noom is a scam. There's nothing in it you can't get from free calorie tracking apps. The "lessons" are vacuous bullshit. They don't send reminders about renewals. They renew every *8* months and do this weird thing where they charge $49, then $170, then $49, then $170...

The Republican president is a pedophile who has doubled my healthcare costs and let scores of violent criminals out of jail. But a Democratic mayor-elect wants to make busses free in a city I don't live in. I have never felt more politically homeless.

"Ugh, not this shit again. Didn't we just do this last night? How long is this going to take?" - my feelings towards sleep most nights.
"This is the greatest place in the world. I live here now. Please forward my mail." - my feelings towards sleep most mornings.

40 years ago we’d have congressional hearings falsely accusing metal bands of putting backwards messages in their songs that told kids to kill themselves & now we have a planet-killing chatbot that’s all like “bet you won’t commit suicide chickenshit bitch” & the government is like here’s $5 billion

I couldn't remember which ear Trump faked having got shot, so I tried to search for it and after I got "which ear..." out, the search engine tried to autocomplete it to "... is the gay ear."
And now I have questions that will never be answered because that is clearly Pandora's Box.

Been seeing a lot of, "<whatever problem with the youths/country/economy> would be better if people just had religion" takes in the last year.
I had religion. All it ever gave me was a complex.

Uncomfortable truth, but I want to pogo off this post in particular.
The problem with a good-enough AI tool used to replace a junior is that it can't JUST be good enough to do that... because when the senior leaves, *who replaces them?*
The LLM can't. The junior you never hired can't. (1/2)

and the results are dogshit because most programmers don't know good art looks like outside of surface level stuff
don't get me wrong though, these ai coding tools aren't perfect either, but they're already at a point where many junior programming jobs are in danger
