I don't know why anyone would use an AI chatbot and ever think it's working for them. For you to assume the chatbot is altruistic or neutral is to assume the tech companies that made them are altruistic and neutral and I hope people aren't that naive.

Very exciting news!! 3 times now on 2 separate days, a crow (probably the same one) has crossed the road or flown closer to me as I walked towards it. Luckily I’ve had peanuts in my pocket all 3 times. Guys, I’m being recognized by a crow! 🥹

Tomorrow I have the opportunity to see 3 movies in 2 different theaters; Whalefall (downtown) Naza (local-ish) Clayface (downtown) Beginning at 12:30 and ending at 21:00, so the rest of the day after noon…

I dropped a couple streaming services and bought a subscription to the movie theater instead. To make it worth the money, I have to watch 1.5 movies per month. In September I saw 5 and October is so far at 2. Today it’s ‘Digger’ and I have the (small) screening room all to myself.

Okay, I get why ‘Digger’ flopped big time… I found it throughly entertaining and it does have a good message. I think the marketing tried to sell it to all the people who wouldn’t “get it”? Maybe the flop is intentional (from the director’s side)? That would add yet another meta layer.

the "iced coffee at a job interview" discussion is obviously stupid but also a great representation of the fact that every single HR person/recruiter has their own different made up rules for candidates and all of them think they are absolutely correct

Aw you need AI to write code or fix bugs for you? You need AI to write for you? You need computer to come up with your ideas? 🥺 What a shame your skills and knowledge are so woefully lacking that the mediocre output of AI seems good to you.

Went to see Resident Evil today and ended up at a 4DX 2D showing. I can’t recommend the insanity that is moving seats that punch you in the back, wind, and water sprayed in your face, but I do recommend seeing the movie in a normal big screen 2D kind of way. It’s great scary fun and I give it 7/10.

I should add that I actually enjoyed the 1st and 3rd movie starring Milla Jovovich and I’ve never played any of the games.

Watching tech people tremble before the awesome power of AI feels like when an actor is “attacked” by a wild animal in a movie but they are just holding a raccoon pelt to their neck and pretending to wrestle with it

If you’re trying to promote anything with a AI generated poster I’m immediately not interested anymore. Same for restaurant menus. Just stop and put a tiny bit of effort into it. Or don’t and just write it on a piece of paper. I’m begging you

All the AI owners “brag” about their concerns with their “humanity killer AI” they have, like they’re that kid from school who absolutely has the current PlayStation system +1 at home but we can’t go see it because they got it from their uncle who is a spy so they promised to keep it secret.

My energetic and playful standard poodle has found another energetic standard poodle to play with!! Poodles have a different body language than most other dogs and I think they get misread as aggressive by others? Anyway, she got to run around after a male 8 months old dog the other day.

lol what is the fucking point of this?? It’s even more tacky than posters in the bathroom.

Do you know what Enya’s views are on trans rights? Neither do I and I wish JK Rowling had pulled ‘an Enya’; bought a castle, and lived her life quietly while creating her art, instead of making it her mission to be as loud as possible about her wish to eradicate a minority.

Called my eye doctor and an A.I. “assistant” “greeted” me. I told it that I wanted to speak to a human being and it “let” me. All this to say: do not willingly engage with robots masquerading as humans. Tell those pieces of shit to fuck off however you wish.

Okay, fuck the haters?! Supergirl is NOT a bad movie. It’s the best Star Wars movie I’ve seen since Rogue One… Is it perfect? No. Did I enjoy it? YES! It had great needle drops with an inclusion of Wet Leg.

I am once again a satisfied user of #DOPS, the Dalone Online Pronunciation Service, the only FREE pronunciation service on Bluesky. I asked for one and got three, and that can't be beaten. My days of using a paid online pronunciation service are over.

Getting my period during a heatwave AND making it through IKEA and picking up everything on the list should definitely award me the right to bake a gateau marcel! I will plead my case to the bf later so we can buy the ingredients together.

I got to go to the pool to swim for 40 minutes while the bf went to have birthday cake with his family (his nephew turns 2 today). He knows how to take good care of my energy 🥰

I’m fleeing the heat this weekend in Aarhus by traveling west! I don’t know what I will do next week, but at least for the next couple of days I will be okay

When people say "innocent until proven guilty," I hope they know that the vast vast vast majority of rapists and abusers are never "proven guilty." The status quo is that there is no due process for victims. If you require a conviction to believe victims, you're siding with perpetrators.

Bf sent a video of the wind coming in out west while walking the dog and this bitch can’t see shit but still managed to sent him a judgy af stare lmao

!!! I’ve finally reached a point in my nightmares with loose teeth that eventually fall out, where I realize it must be a dream! Spitting out tooth after tooth wasn’t a big deal because I knew everything would be okay when I woke up. Hopefully this means I can soon move past this nightmare for good!

Our dog, who very much needs a haircut (1 week left till next appointment!!), was very fascinated by the sheep today. She was not allowed to bark at them (she did anyway) and spent a good while observing at a distance (no barking).

I’ve packed a tote bag with snacks and I’m on a bus to get to a train so I can get travle the 4 hours to Copenhagen. Hayley Williams is playing tonight and her Ego Death At a Bachelorette Party is my favorite album ever so I have to go! 💛

I’ve made it to the approximate location and I’m currently standing in a queue. I hope it’s the right queue. The crowd looks like they could be Hayley Williams fans. There’s at least a couple of girls with their dads so I’m probably twice their age.

Job hunting is the worst. I hate it. I hate spending time on LinkedIn and other job sites. I hate getting my hopes up. I hate that “being myself” is supposedly bad, except when it’s the right thing to do. Past colleagues love me, future managers avoid me. I just want a lil job. Why is it so hard?

Today Microsoft moved all its GitHub copilot subscribers to token-based billing. If you want to see what happens when people have to pay the actual costs of AI, the day is finally here. It's obvious that every customer sees the deep, meaningful value and isn't angry at all.

Help a craving girlie out! I’m looking for a Civ like game that looks nice AND can be bought for Switch. I adore As Far As The Eye but it’s so buggy it should never have been published for the platform… #gamesky #switch

I picked A Real Pain because I’d be sad to miss it and I think Superman will be available on HBO for way longer.

Help me decide which movie to watch tonight! I’ve got my sparkling water and half a kilogram of pick ‘n’ mix ready. We’ve got Superman (2025) or A Real Pain (2025). Both are movies I’ve wanted to see since they came out, but never got around to see them on the big screen. Both have 7/10 on IMDb
