The biggest risk for AI passing as human is not the quality of AI but instead the "quality" of people. I have an email chain going with a manager who writes like he's coming out of anesthesia.

The blood bank sent me the email telling me where my donation went. When I search the facility, Google tells me that hospital has permanently closed.

So, vampires or blood cult?

Second meeting for our "health check" with this particular SaaS and all we have determined is that neither I nor my boss have access to all of the accounts. Rather than my boss reading out the account code numbers from his access list while I look for the same in my list (especially since HE doesn't have access to all of them) - 11 lines of #Python (plus the copy/paste of our dashboard views) and some #RegEX prints out the list of offending accounts without any fuss.

I was going through my RSS feeds, checking for anything that may have had a host side change causing my feed to dry-up. Looked into an old webcomic #StrongFemaleProtagonist. I came across this when #MollyOstertag did a guest spot on #Drawfee. I did not realize at the time that the writing was done by #BrennanLeeMulligan! That certainly explains the bluntness with uncomfortable social truths. A shame it never reached a full resolution but absolutely worth a read.

I think that was a personal record for the most I have walked in one weekend. Over 85,000 steps. Per #PokemonGO I walked 68 km.

I spent all of my premium incubators, hatched 244 eggs, and ultimately traded for my chase.

Day one of #PokemonGO #KalosTour down. That was a lot of walking, and a lot of eggs. I still don't have the primary goal, but I got some fun catches and still have a day left.

Roof replacement went over budget. The wood needed to be replaced. Not surprised, it was old and the humidity here is constant and significant.

I make upwards of two outgoing calls from my desk phone at work per year. However, someone uses my number as the calling from when attempting some scam, so I get plenty of calls that start with "I just missed a call from this number."

Happy birthday, #Mewtwo. #Pokemon

Careful driving in #Tallahassee, pretty sure I saw some #ice this morning.

(Air quotes) Unrelated but I saw a white van with federal government official use only plates followed by a U Haul.
