If you've only ever heard "Gangnam Style," you're missing out!

A friend of mine is working on an internal AI chatbot at their company, so that the Least-Productive Team will have something to answer the same 5 questions that they keep asking to Friend's (extremely productive) team, instead of wasting Friend et al's time.

So I guess that's the one use case of AI bots: to dangle keys in front of MBAs who are too stupid to do their own jobs. Which explains everything, really.

Haven't gotten there yet. I'm curious to see what happens with Motorola though!

I'd been pronouncing it as "Mackle-more" but then I watched Todd In The Shadows' new video about him, and I swear he pronounced it "Mack-le-more" for half the video, and now I don't know which one is the real pronounciation and which one is the joke. I have no strong feelings about him as an artist one way or another but I'd feel like a dick if I'd been inadvertently clowning on him for over a decade.

California is not the center of the universe, but in the US, a fair amount of companies have to tailor their practices to accommodate California law, because A) it's so weird a lot of the time, and B) California is huge and rich, so there's a lot of business to be had. It just makes sense to accommodate the outlier. What happens in California has knock-on effects for the rest of the country, and occasionally the rest of the world; case in point, the recent systemd debacle. It's not certain that they added the age thing in response to the California law specifically, but it was certainly a factor.

David Bowie is overrated.

Tell me you never interact with trans people without telling me you never interact with trans people

I dunno if it counts as "controversial" when at least one of the Beatles would have agreed with you

Room-temperature milkshake is just melted ice cream, which is still delicious.

It's just been on the air for a really long time. I wanna say 15-20 years? Something like that?

Similar but different, we have a kitten and it's funny to see him trying to figure things out. The other day he just stared at our Keurig when I was making coffee. We don't use it that often and I guess he hadn't seen it in action before.

My wife and my cats. We got a kitten a few months after my older cat passed and it turned out to be a really good decision (even though he does drive us crazy sometimes, because kittens are basically toddlers with pointy teeth and claws and a 1-meter vertical leap). Not saying kittens are a cure for depression, but it helps.

 

Last night I had a "back in school" dream, only in this one, the McElroy brothers were helping me cheat on a project. Unsurprisingly, Justin was the most helpful. What weird ones have y'all had?
