At I/O 2023 Google is expected to announce new AI products and features in response to ChatGPT. As a Google user I'm supposed to be excited, but I'm not.
I don't want scifi AI stuff. I want boring tech and engineering that makes a real, consistent difference in the way I use software and devices daily.
This is a muted version of the roses against the lace.

Random thought: large corporations have spent billions of dollars producing pop culture where the villain is an evil soul-eating corporation.
The overall effect has been to turn "evil, soul-eating corporation" into a cliche and a kind of stock villain on the same level as Smaug the Dragon, rather than something that exists and is a real-world problem.
In other words, money well spent?

A powerful lesson - source unknown.
A teacher tells her students, "I'm going to come around and whisper to each of you whether you're a witch or a regular person. Your goal is to build the largest group possible that does NOT have a witch in it. At the end, any group found to include a witch gets a failing grade."
The teens dove into grilling each other. One fairly large group formed, but most of the students broke into small, exclusive groups, turning away anyone they thought guilty.

On Election Day in November, #Pennsylvania Democrats won a state House Majority.
Due to 2 House members being elevated to higher office and the passing of another, there are 3 #SpecialElections on February 7. Republicans are desperate to take these seats, so it's essential to get the vote.
