I know Google is trying to improve but this seems to be the most consistent result — even though I am a paying customer of both Google Workspace and Google Gemini.

When the word ‘disinhibition’ trends you know the timeline is going to be a trash fire for the next couple weeks… and possibly the next couple months until it isn’t… when history is written.

One thing that I will remember about 2024 is how Apple computers are still consistently unable to reliably communicate to HP Laser Jet Pro printers until said printer is… rebooted.

And ye shall know them by their fruits…

“File is Corrupt Cannot Print” 🤷‍♂️

One neat thing about USPS Informed Delivery is the scanned imagery of the outside of mailed items may one day provide a digital archive of the sheer madness of political campaign spending on sensationalist lies, regular lies, and pre-manufactured statistics to support those lies — even it is just the side with your addesss showing. 🙄

One can imagine that once there is an official US Govt approved AI it may be possible for agenetic summaries or commentary (opt-in?) to reinforce or debunk claims.
