AI screw-ups (or, Hello Again Dolly)

by

Artificial intelligence can sometimes be useful, but when I saw this, I nearly choked (as Mom would say):

So, apparently, Dolly Parton is still alive and doing well.  Good gravy.  Callous!  Have some respect!  Someone somewhere should be fired.  How do you fire AI?

I did a check to see if my ongoing letter shows up on search engines like Google.  Sure enough, it does.  It is apparently ” a long-running personal blog and online diary format called the Ongoing Letter.”  Well that’s good to know.

swollen eye

by

I had a hard time driving home from 520 yesterday evening.  I was going to do an all-nighter but couldn’t because of a sore eye.

I was cutting slots in the countertop MDF to fit the faucets.  I wasn’t wearing my safety glasses because a) I couldn’t find them and b) they don’t work as well as they should when lying on one’s back and looking up.

I used eye wash last night that I bought for Floyd just a few weeks back.  It helped, and the debris is gone, but my eye is still swollen.

Back to work as soon as I get done my coffee.

blood plasma, 150th

by

I guess today’s plasma donation is a milestone – #150.  I got a pin saying “150 donations” and a little thing of juice.

A worker there offered to take my picture.  “Smile!” he said.

So I did.  …  It seems such an unnatural thing to do these days.
