So, while watching this week's #LastWeekTonight with #JohnOliver, hubby and I saw someone with 19 AI "friends". We chuckled because I have way more than 19 "stuffie friends" (one of my 'weaknesses'), each with their own name, personality and backstory. And ALL from my imagination! I may have *imaginary* friends, but at least I have an imagination (and they all have some sort of physical form -- even if they are stuffies).

Okay. TBH, I've been using #AI to point out the security flaws I suspected in the AI-based software we already use at work. I just summarized the AI summaries as well as vendor information which I included in my human-based summary. Heh... And BTW, I scored 100% on our work's "Information Security" training module (what else is new).

Me, as a (moody) teenager in the early 2010s: yeeeah same, this is my jam 😎.

The song reached the top of the charts in several countries, and is Numan's most successful single.
