Kind of in love with this AI art from Midjourney. Prompt: ADHD

ChatGPT, not bad

Me: Write a Unitarian Universalist sermon.

ChatGPT: As Unitarian Universalists, we believe in the inherent worth and dignity of every person. We believe that each and every one of us has something valuable to offer the world, and that it is our responsibility to treat one another with kindness and respect.

In a world that can often feel divided and fractious, it is more important than ever that we stand together and affirm our shared humanity. We are all in this together, and it is only by coming together and supporting one another that we can create a better world for ourselves and for future generations.

So let us embrace our diversity, and let us celebrate the unique perspectives and experiences that each of us brings to the table. Let us strive to be understanding and compassionate, and let us work together to build a world that is more fair, more just, and more loving.

May we all be guided by the principles of our faith, and may we use those principles to inspire us to be our best selves and to make the world a better place. Amen.

Got my wife a new phone. Worked on transferring her data from her Pixel 4a to Pixel 7. SMSs didn't automatically transfer. Neither did Signal messages. For her work account, it needed some sort of device administration app, which gave a network error twice, separated by factory resets.

Android data transfer for a new device is nowhere near good enough, and it never has been the 5+ times I've gone through this process.

Just used ChatGPT to generate bedtime stories for my two kids from their prompts. Then I gave them a bonus story that the AI easily created from a combination of the first two stories. It was really fun. I do wonder if I'll ever look back at this moment as a dark memory.

Ready to head to the airport for #reInvent2022
Hopefully everyone can figure out who I work for 🤣

I swear my kids would almost starve themselves before eating what humans have recognized for hundreds of years as delicious food.

spent most of yesterday making a tom yum soup common meal for 30 of my closest neighbors. Last night and this morning making the cranberry curd tart. Could have "mailed it in" making easy Brussels sprouts for the second potluck today. But for some reason I'm making Brussels sprouts with bacon ends and homemade sweet potato gnocchi. I just can't help myself 😆

Made cranberry curd tart

Absolutely incredible that large groups of people have decided to spend their time hating on:
1) making sure your charitable giving is doing the most good possible, and
2) extending the number of healthy years of life

There should be a Mastodon app link, so people can link to their Mastodon handles, and you can click on the links that will open in your app, allowing you to easily follow new people, rather than having to copy/paste their handles.

Any favorite futurist podcasts, YouTube channels, peertube, Twitter accounts, mastodon accounts, RSS feeds? Interested in life extension, AI, robotics, space exploration, crypto, virtual reality. I need some new sources in my life!

The modern web really is trash sometimes.

I hear SBF drank water. Water is no longer an approved beverage.

Not loving the trend of people saying effective altruism is lame based on one lame adherent rather than debating it on the merits. Lazy.

My son gets a homework packet every week. Three pages stapled together. Today he decided to be _clever_. He _cut out_ one of the pages and _glued it_ to another page, so that he wouldn't have to do the front of one page and the back of another.
Like I wouldn't notice? And, even more importantly, like the teacher wouldn't notice? Absolutely incredible performance 🤣
Talmbout "I don't know why it's wet" and "the page ripped out when my teacher grabbed it from me."
Some serious effort went into this attempted deception. Dare I say, more effort than would have been required to do the homework that he avoided!
