I ain't nice.
DO NOT follow-back because you think it's the polite thing to do. If you're polite, you don't say the things I say, do the things I do, think the way I think. I ain't a popularity-whore. Rather, I may block new followers whose timelines indicate they're probably really nice folk.

of practical, accurate, useful AI, causing the other clueless folks to believe in AI much more than they really should.
SO much of this tsunami of AI “success” is built on flat out lies. And even if the #VultureCapital firms know it’s lies, they don’t fucking care. Even if they know for certain the bubble will burst, they don’t fucking care. They only care about correctly timing their exit. Destructive, greedy fucks.
imaging system that does what #Photoshop calls “Find Edges” and “Unsharp Mask” on a file that is a higher bit-depth than the monitor can display. Tech like that has been very good since the ‘90s. But the Dental X-ray company just could not stand to feel left off of the big #AI bandwagon.
And I get it; everybody’s just trying to grab a bigger chunk of #MarketShare for their stake-holders.
The problem is that this wankery provides thousands of seemingly successful examples (…cont’d…)
Yet another #AI complaint… the BS marketing wankery from CEOs with severe #FOMO that slap “AI” on tech that’s been around for several decades, & is definitely not AI at all.
Case in point, I went to the Dentist for the 1st time since 2019, & they did x-rays. Hygienist who couldn’t’ve been older than 23 brags, “This new x-ray system uses AI to highlight areas that we should look closer at; things we wouldn’t spot with our eyes.”
Um… that’s not new. It’s no different from any digital (…cont’d…)
I’m #OffTheAir for a while. Needed to un- #HamRadio the office so I can disassemble the shack, remove the bulkhead SO-239s from the exterior wall, fill & patch, repaint, & shoot realtor photos.
I MIGHT set up the HF station out here in the back yard shed, where I’ve moved my day-job computer to. But I can’t leave that band-hopping on #FT8 24x7, nor the #APRS i-gate, because the ground rod is too far away for reasonable use of lightning arrestors. They’d be unhooked every evening.
The HS hockey players were among my worst bullies.
In my 40s, knew a very nice guy from church whose son was a bully, & their therapist suggested putting him in hockey to “focus his aggression in a positive direction”. I was gobsmacked. That’s like simmering a dilute poison to make it more deadly.
If he was my kid, I’d force him to take ballet… or figure skating.
Started watching #SongSungBlue on Peacock.
I’m only 22min in, and tears are already streaming.
Fuck, 2026 has my nerves poking out of my skin.
Smart.
Wise.
You've got this - you're awesome.
