  • Avoid anything that comes in plastic packaging and distill your own water. You will still need to drink normal water but I can’t imagine any municipality is currently equipped to deal with microplastic so reducing your intake is probably a good idea.

    Short of moving somewhere very rural and growing all your own food, it is close to impossible.


  • I was working at an assembly plant for plane motors (the big kind) and one of them literally blew up in the test bed. There was chunks literally embedded in the safety glass, it was a huge mess.

    Turns out someone left an orange rubber mallet inside of it. Over the course of a year, they reassembled the shredded mallet and traced it back to the toolbox that used it. The guy lost it and instead of reporting it and disassembling his last job, he just stole one from an other toolbox.

    Not mine but my buddy used to build kayaks. One of the employees took a dump in one of the kayaks and it only got caught because of a random QC test. I always giggle thinking of the client who would have received it.





  • You can use speech to text to transcribe meetings then have an LLM generate summaries. You can make an automated tagging system with the transcription or summaries as well.

    I wouldn’t have it manage appointments, just in case of errors. I don’t know for cpd, not really sure what that entails. For advertising, image generation can be a real boon but it still requires someone with some advertising and photo editing knowledge to get good results.

    It really depends on the specific task, it can fail monumentally for certain things but can be a real time and cost saver for others. It’s important to review what it does as well and test it thoroughly.


  • The bill has also been endorsed by entertainment companies such as The Walt Disney Company, Warner Music Group, Universal Music Group, Sony Music, the Independent Film & Television Alliance, William Morris Endeavor, Creative Arts Agency, the Authors Guild, and Vermillio.

    I don’t think something being pushed by Sony music, universal music and Disney is going to be good for the consumer.:

    DIGITAL REPLICA.-The term “digital replica” means a newly created, computer-generated, highly realistic electronic representation that is readily identifiable as the voice or visual likeness of an individual

    There’s a reason why we can’t copyright a voice. I can’t wait for YouTube to delist all my videos because the algorithms decided I sound too much like Ben Affleck.

    There’s essentially 3 companies that own all our music. This bill is their attempt at making sure they are the only ones that can offer music generation services.
