Becky, a participant in this intro to AI class, went on a tirade about how people who oppose data centers in their communities are misguided. One of her claims is that data centers use no more water than a golf course. That may be true, but that's not a positive argument for either.
I'm back at work following yesterday's oral surgery. Today (like the past 2 days were supposed to be) is online training. The topic is an Introduction to AI. You read that right. No, I haven't sold out to Big AI. This is a scouting expedition. #AISlop #KnowThineEnemy
My answer is LOL ROFL (dickbrain) The terminally AI-pilled can't even *imagine* some people have *never* asked stochastic parrots to cheat at their job for them.

Problems printing to a printer shared on a Linux computer on your network? (This tutorial works under Linux Mint, too.) This guide resolved a longstanding issue for me. I'm now able to print (again) from Windows and other Linux machines. #CUPS #Samba #LinuxMint

Pirro will announce she’s resigning soon “to spend more time with my box wine”
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 4d agoTrump: “I disagree 100% with Jeanine Pirro on the Reflecting Pool. I don’t know what she was thinking? To me, it was a pure case of VANDALISM, that included the grass, which had a big 86 47 emblazoned …There may have been some contractor difficulty, but major damage was caused by VANDALS!”

Cognitive offloading is inevitable. Surrender to the plagiarism machines. The plutocracy requires it. #SlopAI
Adults Lose Skills to AI. Children Never Build Them.
Discussions of cognitive offloading often miss a critical distinction: What AI does to a 45-year-old's brain is categorically different from what it does to a 14-year-old's.

I find that if I put off the editing after scanning long enough, I feel much different about the photographs, especially 10 months later. A few examples from the Chiricahuas in AZ, Vivitar V2000, Rollei Retro 400S, red filter. How about you?
Some of my best shots were taken near the end of our Alaskan cruise. #Alaska

Do I need a new flash? Probably not, although this is tempting. I have the smaller, cheaper iT20 model, but it's usefulness is fairly limited. I have larger speedlights, but this model strikes a nice balance between truly useful and compact.

I would never submit work as original that was spewed forth from ChatGPT because I do my thinking. My bad ideas and mistakes are all my own. You have to be a special kind of stupid to hand in a paper written by AI without proofreading and inserting a human error or two for realism.
