A case like that doesn’t concern me much. If AI has a place in art, it’s as a tool like that.

My wife has been sick with a persistent respiratory infection for six weeks. I have a shoulder injury. We haven’t been staying on top of the cleaning. We finally admitted that the house smells like one of those caves you age cheese in, and booked a cleaner to put it back in good shape so we can just maintain it going forwards.

Last night, at my wife’s insistence, we tidied the house from top to bottom and wiped down the flat surfaces so the cleaner wouldn’t arrive to a messy house. 😟

In her defence, she kinda saw the irony of it.

Tggr.

Are you an AI? Operating from some kind of faulty code base? Is that why you take the question seriously?

Not a fan of it.

They kinda suck for driving though, because they don’t turn dark inside a car.

I take 'em off. The inside of a building is glare-free enough.

I learn current slang just to use it wrong. Nahmean, cringe?

I might be okay with specific use cases, but overall no. Why do we need to invent users? Users are a thing that already exists. This is a solution desperately hunting for a problem.

I was watching a Brad Williams clip where he talked about humping John Stamos’ leg.

They’ve always got evidence that they’re going to show us… soon.

Not today.

But soon.

They can’t say when.

Only that it’ll be soon.

Soon.

No. It encourages people to game the system instead of honestly engaging.

I have a friend who is constitutionally incapable of throwing things away, including the vast number of things she inherited from her mother who bought a second house to store her totally-not-a-hoarding-problem.

To get back at her for trying to foist some of them on my wife and I, I spend six months hiding Lego minifigs among her ornaments every time we visited her home.

“It could be raining tits and you’d look up and catch a dick.”

Every last person working to make it a worse world.

People replying - how about telling us why you consider your answer a must-install tool?

It’s not even 8 AM here yet. Guess the first item on my to-do list is ‘write a to-do list’.

There’s good content to be found on Reddit, but most of Reddit is not good content. It’s like wading through a chest-high river of sewage to smell a rose.

And Lemmy’s not trying to sell me something every 30 seconds.

Good: I have free speech.

Bad: You have free speech.

I think that sums it up.

Memory training tools. Like the memory palace, the person-action-object method, acronyms and mnemonics.

Visualisations like using the abacus method to do fast and accurate arithmetic.

And human-executable techniques like the doomsday algorithm and George Marsaglia’s random number generator.
