Science background, but about time I get more words out into the world.
Welp. I miscalculated the number of small pieces I need to print for the Christmas present I was planing. It’s not 128, but 256. I guess it’s going to be a Birthday present.
Welp. If the anti-AI folks I talk to are right, literally everyone (except a tiny filter bubble of “AI-bros”) will stop drinking Coke now and the company will be bankrupt by the end of the year.

Youtube claims that as of the 15th, they’ve allowed shorts up to 3min, but I’ve spend the last 2hrs trying to get this 91s vertical video to be identified as a short.

Sudden thought. If Richard Ayoade ever does SNL, and they don’t do “The IT Crowd” with him playing as Pennywise, they need to fire the writing staff.
If you’ve seen the viral meme where a search for “baby peacock” is used to demonstrate that AI is taking over the internet, try this: bring up a random word generator and search of the first noun that comes up. You’ll MAYBE see one posibly-AI image.
AI baby peacocks are at the top of the search because people lately are talking a lot about AI baby peacocks. This is humans training google search, and it giving them what they want to see.
Interesting writing idea: The Greek gods are back, and trying to make a come back. It turns out that they were not actually self-serving, infanticidal, back stabbing maniacs, but rather the myths that have been handed down are have about as much veracity as the worst tabloid articles of today.

I went searching for a source after reading Bertie Wooster use the phrase several times.
