Man, AI is getting so good at deepfakes that even I am struggling to tell. My mother showed me an AI-generated video on her Facebook claiming that congress is about to impeach Trump, (yeah right!) and I had to listen for about 30 seconds before being confident that the voice was AI generated.

Here is why I hate gen AI. I asked GPT-5 to explain why Braille displays are so expensive, and it incorrectly told me that it has to move cells thousands of times per minute. It wrote: Unlike a normal screen (which just changes pixels electronically), a Braille display must physically move hundreds of tiny pins up and down thousands of times per minute — reliably, silently, and with enough force to push against a user’s finger. That makes them surprisingly difficult and expensive to engineer.

My favorite thing about large language models is that just like fruits and vegetables, people can start advertising their content as all natural and organic.

I wonder something though. What was it like to grow up as a blind person in the 1970s and early 80s? Was going to a school for the blind the only practical option for an education?

Man, note takers in the early 2000s used to be awesome. I used a Type 'n Speak in around 2004/2005. It was small, lightweight, and easily lasted about a week in between charges, which was amazing for the time period.
