Instead of putting my Hawaiian shirt in the dryer, or hanging it to dry, I just put it on my body still wet and then went for a bike ride! It dried out quickly while cooling me off, it was bone dry by the time I left the farmer's market.
When are we getting true wireless contactless charging??
Need to charge my phone, but don’t want to leave the couch. #lazy
So, #Trump is famously #lazy. Can't be bothered to read briefings, doesn't like working in general, would rather be enjoying leisure while paying a young woman to follow him around with a wireless printer, printing out any news stories she finds where people say nice things about Trump (no, I am not joking about this).
So people point to the amount of time he just takes off from "work" to go golfing. See, for example:
https://trumpgolftrack.com/
It's pointing out that of the 163 days he has currently spent in office, he was actually out-of-office golfing for 38 of them.
I'm not sure why these 38 / 163 days are a big deal. The Democratic party has been absent for 163 of them.
I'm really not very productive today. I tell myself it's the weather.
Had a great time at Comic con Melbourne this weekend and also caught up with a couple of friends. Fortunately, it's (yet another) public holiday in Tasmania, so I'm just taking the day to recover.

A thoroughly #lazy #unoriginal idea - since the current version of #democracy is not working that well, let's give up and go back to some wishful benevolent #monarchy
Why not explore ideas to make democracy work better? In "A New Faith" - I explore #sortition

Jeremy Keith about the ethical implications vs the 'usefulness' of LLM and the 'it is just another tool' stance.
You could even convince yourself that a large language model is like a bicycle for the mind. In truth, a large language model is more like one of those hover chairs on the spaceship in WALL·E. Large language models don’t amplify your creativity and agency. Large language models stunt your creativity and rob you of agency.

I have used LLM based image creation for my band's gig flyers, and it feels like eating fast food.
Is it healthy? No not really. Do I want to know how the sausage is made?
can they really claim to be "Authors" is the question....

About time I posted something new: A perfect illusion of summer bliss.
The border in the foreground is problematic: What I plant does not do particularly well and what I think should not be there is thriving. Just as well that I have learned not to argue with nature: It is beautiful, it’s natural and I could not have planned (and planted) it better.

Just a quick note for this morning.
We make something like:
```
* '((1 (2)) (3 (4 (5) 6)) (7) 8)
((1 (2)) (3 (4 (5) 6)) (7) 8)
* (pick-len-leaves-less-than * 5 6)
(1 2 3 4 5)
* (reverse **)
(8 (7) (3 (4 (5) 6)) (1 (2)))
* (pick-len-leaves-less-than * 5 6)
(3 4 5 1 2)
```
#RFKJr’s report projected a new vision for #America’s #health policy that would take aim at #childhood #vaccines, ultraprocessed #foods, & #pesticides. But a #NOTUS investigation published Thurs found 7 studies referenced in RFKJr’s 68-pg report that the listed study authors said were either wildly misinterpreted or never occurred at all—& researchers believe that #AI could be partly to blame.

#RFKJr.’s Bogus #MAHA Report Is Just #AI Slop
One AI researcher warned the report “cannot even be used for any serious discussion.”
#ArtificialIntelligence researchers claim there’s “definitive” proof that *#Health* Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. & his team used AI to write his “Make America Healthy Again” report.
