Our university pays for Google's Gemini AI. I wanted to see if my students could use it to get a good summary of a paper we are reading in class. It gave me a totally incorrect summary twice, despite me giving it the exact paper title, journal and first author. Then I asked it why:

In the U.S. we have around 2 million km of roads that instead of paving we decided to dump little pieces of crushed rock on them. Then people drive too fast on them and they get all washboarded. Then other people, ofter wearing flannel and ironic mustaches, ride their bikes on them.

Our Evie ignored this climbing pole for like a year, now it is her favorite thing. She climbs up it several times a day, sometimes sleeps at the top and jumps from the pole onto the top of her castle. But it had to be her idea, so that meant ignoring it for a year.

I didn't think I would get this KOM back because my power is a little lower than when I first got it, but I translated some of the TT position tips I've learned over the last year onto my gravel bike, and ended up faster on this ~20 min climb with lower power.

Our tuxedo Priscilla likes to cook in the sun until she is blazing hot and then she goes and passes out in one of her many cardboard lairs.

First time making papadzules, which are sort of like enchiladas from the Yucatan. Filled with fragmented hard boiled eggs and topped with two very different sauces. The orange one is more tomato/habanero-based, and the green one has mostly roasted pepitas, tomatillos and epazote.

Tonight was my first time making papadzules - sort of a Yucatan enchilada-ish. Very interesting and very different.

Yeah Gen X too, but it's been going on for quite a long time apparently. Hope I am still riding at 90.
