There is no sense in building a career in and around technology and simultaneously wanting certain specific technology-related solutions you’ve come up with to stay relevant and useful over the long term. It doesn’t work that way. Things change. https://youtu.be/jPhJbKBuNnA
I tried using AI. It scared me.

I wonder if the security teams at both the Cheesecake and Old Spaghetti Factories have ever lobbied the brands to change name to reduce the likelihood they are confused for critical manufacturing infrastructure and therefore at heightened risk of targeting?

I read that Elton John has bought a treadmill for his pet rabbit.

It's a little fit bunny...

I don't think people understand the danger we are in. Taylor Swift is a prolific creator without any apparent remaining binding. Normal artists don't get to just drop an album with no marketing and go #1 multiple times a year. Hell even the songs she gives away to other people go #1 (Better Man) top 100 (Babe) even if she tries to hide her name. (This Is What You Came For) She wrote the multi-platinum "Speak Now" entirely by herself at 19.
Now, at just 33, Swift already has 10 mainline studio albums across country, pop, folk, and more. It's conceivable her lifetime work output could displace all other need for any other kind of music. Imagine being born in 2040. It is entirely possible you could listen to nothing but Taylor Swift your entire life. Of what possible incentive would you find to stray from her blinding artistry?

As human creativity is replaced by machine, it is even reasonable to conclude Taylor Swift will become the last human matriarch of the arts. The final bookend to biological minds. Only she will prevail. As the greatest artist not only of the past - but also the future. For eternity. A name whispered into the stars, engineered into the pulses of their winds and when sped up recognized as sound.

The media continues to fail on reporting of climate change. STOP calling things “once-in-a-generation” when these events are now happening with regularity. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-64061588
