I thought this link was entertaining and vaguely appropriate for this thread. I haven't been curious about AI, and I'm thinking that I'm not missing much. https://davebarry.substack.com/p/death-by-ai

IIRC, the five stages of the grieving process are denial, bargaining, anger, sorrow, and acceptance. Not everyone experiences all stages, but we all have some sort of process that is required to move on in a healthy manner. I can't judge whether her feelings are now sorted out, but I wouldn't...

That sounds like the gold digger philosophy. She can marry some old guy, and it's like getting a dog that will leave you a big inheritance! :LOL:

Our place was also kind of rough when we bought it. I went over it a couple of times with a rototiller. Then I went over it a couple of times with a chain harrow to level out the loose soil better. Then I reseeded it. That worked pretty well for me.

I recently took my first trip to Hawaii. According to a tour guide, it is common among native Hawaiians to have 3 generations under one roof. Part of the reason is outrageous real estate prices.

I can't imagine what it would be like to not even know whether your father is alive or dead for all those years. I hope that reading through all of this can help provide some closure and eventually lead to some level of acceptance and peace.

It's hard to say. I'm certainly not an expert, but it seems like an AI program would have a list of US state capitals in its database. It seems odd to me that it would somehow think it knows a state capital and be wrong about it. That sounds more human to me.

To be fair, that also could have been human error, rather than AI error.

I can see that viewpoint for a young person that is still trying to compete in a career. It is always important to stay current on new tools that can improve one's job performance. As a retired guy, I'm not concerned about being the last guy in town that doesn't use AI. A case in point, my...

When I was in my early 20s, I knew an old Amish guy that became a significant figure in my life. I was thinking of him recently, and we had lost touch a long time ago. I figured that he had to be long dead by now. I wasn't optimistic, but I put his name and hometown in a search engine. I was...

I have that issue, too. I try not to think about it, or it would drive me batty.

I was mowing yesterday, and I could still hear them quite clearly over the loud zeroturn mower.

I never scared my sister with a cicada, but I got her GOOD with a dead snake that I found. We had a door at the foot of the stairway that went upstairs, and the light didn't work in the stairway, so it was always dark when walking down the stairs. I wrapped the dead snake around the doorknob...

Ah, I can see that. There is a similar place near me. The father supposedly invented the bar code. He built an amazing equestrian facility for the daughter. Then the daughter moved to Europe, because that's where the really good trainers are. The price I saw listed was $1.4M. If that's...

I googled that address, and there must be some unusual circumstances involved. They built an amazing place ten years ago, built a very nice home and never lived in it, and now it's for sale. Puzzling. And your biggest concern was how to get the birds out of the barn! :LOL:
