The "Reimagine" feature on Google's new Pixel 9 lineup is incredible. It's so impressive that testing it has left me feeling uneasy on multiple occasions. With a simple prompt, you can add things to photos that were never there. And the company's Gemini AI makes it look astonishingly realistic.

Someone I know who is chronically ill recently contracted #covid because a healthy person she trusted didn't tell her about being at an indoor event.

They both got COVID. The healthy person bounced back. My chronically ill friend? Now sicker than she ever was and no way to know if her downturn is long term or permanent.

That's what it's like now. If you're already chronically ill the world is a dangerous place and healthy people generally DGAF.

I don’t fly often, but when I do I like to add in the modifier of a crippled network to really make it worth my time.

@siracusa Apologies in advance for bugging you ( I am from Ohio, so everything starts with a sorry, I assume @hotdogsladies and @marcoarment feel this deeply too.) I tried to find it on my own. What OLED TV did you recently buy? If you haven’t yet what would be your top choice? Bonus points if you can share a Link to a @RecDiffs or an @atpfm if you discuss this. I must of missed it.
