Popped by a park on the Tama River before I leave Western Tokyo

good chance for me to finally get this game

Checked out some mountains around this dam called Oono Dam in Yamanashi Prefecture only because there's another dam with the same name elsewhere which was used as the source material for Ryujin Lake in SNOW (the VN), but I didn't feel like going to Kyoto Prefecture where it is. It was nice though

The water is very nice and clear blue BTW, it doesn't show up well on some of the pics I took (+ extra mountain pic)

Prayed in and checked out the Tokyo Camii Diyanet Center (i.e. mosque funded by the Turkish government)

Checked out the Okuchichibu Mountains in western Tokyo over the past couple of days

unfortunately they seem to stop working for a bit after two uses. also their "paper towels" are pretty pathetic. but overall a much improved airplane bathroom experience

The JAL A350s actually have bidets on the toilets, holy civilization

Checked out some Rocky Mountains and Breckenridge CO

It could've been Heathrow

Checked out Atlanta airport. The place I got food from has peach tea on the menu but they didn't even have any smh

Powerslave's OST isn't something I'd call weird but it's got some ambience to it, as well as Egyptian-ness

How thousands of ‘overworked, underpaid’ humans train Google’s AI to seem smart Contracted AI raters describe grueling deadlines, poor pay and opacity around work to make chatbots intelligent

“I just want people to know that AI is being sold as this tech magic – that’s why there’s a little sparkle symbol next to an AI response. But it’s not. It’s built on the backs of overworked, underpaid human beings.”

Been thinking lately about how I've always had a well of negativity, and the much more positive people I've been fortunate enough to encounter or make friends with have helped me to realize and adjust that bit by bit
