I’m a school bus driver and we have an insane number of kids that get transported less than half a mile, solely because we lack sidewalks and drivers here are batshit crazy.

Also the street is probably a 14-lane highway.

We had a meeting with my mom’s broker and my brother and I brought up the AI bubble. The broker responded with the most ridiculous nonsense. He basically said that corporate CEOs are smart people with a legal responsibility to keep their companies financially healthy and so they wouldn’t be using AI if it weren’t viable. It sounded like something handed down to him from Raymond James HQ which I’m sure it was, and it was surely written by AI in the first place.

I never notice when a user or a thread comes from ml until I say something that is real-world uncontroversial like “Stalin had some people murdered” and get flamed for it. I’ve never really felt the need to block servers on Lemmy but ml sure makes me think about looking up how to do it.

My preparer randomly told me that he had invested money with a guy who was developing a “reactionless space drive”. He then mentioned that the guy had solved all the problems he was having with it by asking ChatGPT about it. I asked him if the guy had a working prototype yet and he said no but it was sure to work.

Time to find a new tax preparer.

My mom taught me ORM. I’d rather have had the SQL mom.
