A new day. A new chance to succeed.

Uncharacteristically langourous start to the day. Rose early but settled in for a relaxing breakfast with fresh bread, good coffee, and a gentle read.

I'm playing catch up now but I'm feeling no rush. Just that "time to do it" feeling as I chop wood and carry water.

Still something that resonated.

May your day bring you a little peace, however you can find it #today

Hawkeye: Exactly. There are no innocent bystanders in Hell. War is chock full of them - little kids, cripples, old ladies. In fact, except for some of the brass, almost everybody involved is an innocent bystander.

The AI-based AI detection tools are just playing an eternal // infernal game of whackamole with this model and that model and the next model.

The AI writing witchhunt is pointless.

Alexandre Dumas ran what was essentially a content production house in 19th century Paris. His most famous collaborator was Auguste Maquet, who wrote substantial portions of The Three Musketeers and The Count of Monte Cristo.
