Happy Birthday, Naaman! Gemini / Bard is having a bit of a lie down right now when it comes to generating images of people. But there are other sources! "generate a photorealistic picture of a bald, buff, ex-helicopter pilot enjoying a triple OLED monitor racing sim rig on their birthday." It's almost like we are there! Bing ? oh yes, and Have a great day.

Happy Birthday Dan. The AI gods have smiled on you this year!

I can't even ... "More than 120,000 PlayStation users have paid £3.29 to pet virtual hamsters, dogs and beavers. What’s behind this madness?" https://www.theguardian.com/games/2024/feb/15/stroke-of-genius-how-one-developer-created-a-hit-game-in-just-30-minutes

Presenting your children's dystopian AI future. It's like no one involved in the product read "I Always Do What Teddy Says" by Harry Harrison, written in 1965. If you haven't either, someone copied the text of the short story here (show full description for text, on mobile) https://www.deviantart.com/aegiandyad/art/I-Always-Do-What-Teddy-Says-259013944 Academic reference: https://openpublishing.psu.edu/utopia/content/i-always-do-what-teddy-says

A sports ball match. The super bowl, The Andy Sidaris movie of sporting events? Given that it's still nil-nil after 45 minutes elapsed (half time) it's almost like proper football!

An Andy Sidaris movie buffering would definitely interrupt the narrative flow.

https://www.speedtest.net/result/15864749683 1.2 Gbps down , overprovisioned to 1.4Gbps. looks about right. 2.5Gbps ports on Cable modem, WAN/LAN ports on router, switch and PC over Cat6 will do that. No Mid split here, yet, so still only 40Mbs up 😠 https://www.reddit.com/r/Comcast_Xfinity/wiki/knowledgebase/next-generation-internet/#wiki_west_division Still waiting for uncapped sonic.net fiber to get here. 😞 https://www.sonic.com/
