We already have studies showing a new form of brain damage in people who rely on AI to think for them. Things are bad enough without adding AI to the mix.

I'm being a little vague about this on purpose, sorry:
I'm currently being extremely introspective about recent events and a very long-term problem having been finally fixed. Between that former issue, and my health, I'd stopped doing Twitch broadcasts for the most part last fall.
I'd.. kind of just given up and lost all hope.
I feel like trying to go back to a regular schedule is both a good and a bad idea and going back on my word.. so I'm asking a few friends to help me sort this out.
Well, it's back up and still rock solid stable. I think my 12-year curse is finally over. (Assuming, of course, they don't need to take it back down for some reason tomorrow; it's possible there may be more day outages while they finish installing fiber..)
I could just about metaphorically cry here with how long and often I've been fighting my ISP over all of this.
.. on top of yet another 2-3 hours because it just got pushed back another few hours on the ETR. Yeah, it's going to be a long night.
Heh, well.. while the speeds have been fixed, it appears they're not done with the fiber transition in my neighborhood; my connection has been offline for ~6 hours straight today and it doesn't look like it'll be coming back up for another 2-3 hours.
Things are still looking up, though.
Hot take: I think the Tandy 1000 line ends up being the most important IBM compatible because it held the line long enough for machines capable of beating the Amiga to show up. It was relatively cheap, had decent (for the time) sound and graphics, ran most IBM PC apps.
It just needed to hold out long enough for the final generation of MS-DOS machines to have VGA/SVGA and SoundBlaster.
Four hours from now I'll be unconscious for the first half of the 2026 spine ablations.
It'll probably be several weeks before the effects become apparent, though. Takes time for muscles to relax/heal.
Still alive, still recovering from last week's gauntlet of appointments.
One funny bit of news: I let myself get talked into entering a semi-local arcade's Street Fighter 2 Turbo tournament. Single elimination, 12 competitors.
Despite being very out of practice, I won. There were some very, very good competitors in there. Somehow I find myself looking forward to challenging them again someday.
