1) So yeah I don't think we collectively are at all ready for the AI video stuff, especially with sound and stuff now.
2) Take that, losers, I'm her favorite.

Oblivion was recently released. Fallout 4 is getting released. A Halo remake is coming, when Halo was already released *and* a Halo remake was released.

Has anybody thought to check if we're in some sort of hellish timeloop?

Isn’t this the second or third time they’ve tried to say this is going to be the future? I vaguely recall at some point there was a big push with Dragon Dictate or something like 20 years ago that everybody would be voice controlling their computers all the time.

And now you've put it out there so some Hollywood exec can see it and use it in their next rom-com as the trigger that gets them back together. GOOD JOB.

They've been trying to find her for decades at this point, but at least Rockapella's still got it:

I wish somebody’d warned me earlier that being an immortal being of pure light doesn’t mean you don’t still have sore back and limbs when you get out of bed in the morning.

No, it’s nowhere near that lo- OH MY GOD IT’S THAT LONG

I get the vague feeling that ChatGPT wants to be like the hitchhiker’s guide - where it’s wildly inaccurate, it’s at least *definitively* wildly inaccurate.

With Glorious Honor for the Emoire!, most likely.

Been so wrapped up with things the past few days, that I forgot to honor the memory of a truely kind, compassionate, and funny guy. Aron Eisenberg. We miss you Noggles! #StarTrek #StarTrekDS9 #CaptainNogForever

I vaguely feel like that should be called the Tom Baker rule.

Amazon seems to have screwed up getting a refund easily for missing items from a Whole Foods order. I'm stuck in a loop of choosing that items were missing, getting a 'can't return, contact us for refund', which loops me back to choosing which items were missing, then back to 'can't return'...

Neither I nor my hair can remember where the part goes this morning. For the first time it occurs to me that "bad hair day" really should be a valid reason to go back to bed. Not, I hope, because I'm overly vain; but just as a sign of "If I can't even get this small thing right..."

It definitely falls in "entertainingly bad" rather than "unwatchably, boringly bad." The only thing I really remember vividly is the insane night club/dance scene.

I admit that I have a sort of deep-seated suspicion that if there's ever like a Cosmic Reckoning at the End Of Time, it's going to turn out that the best thing humanity ever made was the NES Ducktales Moon song.

Finished Robocop Rogue City. Pretty good, although his slow pace got irritating in some of the 'find people to help in this ara' missions.

Just realized that I unintentionally made giant Lego James May.

Huh. It just struck me that there doesn't seem to be a shortcut for 'Type to Siri' when using a hardware keyboard with an iPad. Seems kind of weird.

I got kind of used to being able to bring it up on the Mac.

Done.
Ganda- uh, I mean, "Generic Wizard" Costume Wig fits him quite nicely.

Well, when I started I was picturing closer to 5 feet, but came out more like 47 inches. Still need to print the arms and hands, but a pretty good size minifig, I think.

(Ignore the rubber bands. Glue's still drying on some of the parts I had to cut into build-volume-sized chunks to print.)

I do like the British Baking show, but it's kind of funny when they set up a challenge: "This will be very difficult to accomplish in the time we've given them" and then in the judging: "This is underbaked. What happened, did you run out of time?"

I have never related to a comic more.

(The quote is from the TNG episode Pen Pals, which showed up in the actual results.)

Google's AI search results are just so amazingly bad.

Ooh. That's going to make tech support more fun. Just saw a ticket someone emailed in with an error they're getting. "According to copilot, this means..."

Can't wait until people start arguing about the answer/solution being wrong because it doesn't match what Copilot or Gemini or ChatGPT said.

Nyeh.

#StarTrekVOY "Protective Instincts"

An unusual lifeform takes refuge in Voyager’s cargo bay while a hungry predator tries to tear the ship apart. Capitalist aliens offer to buy the mess hall and convert it into a franchise: TGI Janeway’s. Server: Foster Brooks.

KITT's gonna be OK, right? It's a "very special" episode where everything's better by the end and Michael promises to always help him?

One thing nobody thought to mention about getting older was how at some point getting out of a chair goes from being a thing that just happens without thinking about it to a whole process.

Being back at work after a week off sure does suck.
