I’ve been testing a theory: many people who are high on #AI and #LLMs are just new to automation and don’t realize you can automate processes with simple programming, if/then conditions, and API calls with zero AI involved.
So far it’s been working!
Whenever I’ve been asked to make an AI flow or find a way to implement AI in our work with a client, I’ve returned back with an automation flow that uses 0 AI.
Things like “when a new document is added here, add a link to it in this spreadsheet and then create a task in our project management software assigned to X with label Y”.
And the people who were frothing at the mouth at how I must change my mind on AI have (so far) all responded with resounding enthusiasm and excitement.
They think it’s the same thing. They just don’t understand how much automation is possible without any generative tools.

A lot happened over the weekend. Still here. Anyway, today Marie made sourdough cinnamon muffins, egg and bacon, tea and coffee. We’ll hit a local theater company’s party tonight and hopefully that will be all the excitement. #TogetherBreakfast https://photos.app.goo.gl/Meo2BL2pRUqoLt597

Sports betting roundup: NFL favorites deliver for bettors in Week 15 https://www.foxsports.com/articles/nfl/sports-betting-roundup-nfl-favorites-deliver-for-bettors-in-week-15

In which NOAA more or less calls an end to the Earth/Sun excitement: #aurora night for the world will probably not be followed immediately by another great one. (This may be one of the few 'laws' of space weather predicting with a greater than 50% chance of being true. Been through that so many times by now I was actually not expecting much tonight ... d'oh.)

I remember my excitement when, randomly in change, I got my first steel
penny made during the height of WWII. It felt like such a connection to the lives of my grandparents. Curious to see if the penny of any form will feel the same to my grandchildren.

PlayStation is putting all my wish-listed games on sale on the same day. I'll never get to play them, but maybe I should buy them. 🤔

Just a tiny bit of negative excitement when the first order for the year at your cosy e-bookstore has been calculated at double the delivery cost, in EUR instead of BGN, for the buyer.
(For some reason, the currency in the website of the delivery provider had to be set manually.)

RDMA over Catgirl Excitement

If we focus on nothing but excitement about mass rallies until we get 3.5% of the population to participate, well, that’s like spray-painting the bread to bake it.
We have to get people engaged, mobilized, enraged, inspired, attuned to the danger, talking to neighbors, making plans, helping each other out, taking action, creating systems of support, throwing wrenches in the authoritarian gears, scaring the crap out of politicians and businesses and giving each other courage, and and and and.
•That• is baking the bread.

Izzy (the brown and white dog) met this nine week old puppy recently. Izzy, as a mother herself, was quite skilled at tolerating the puppy's excitement. #Mondog #DogsofMastodon

AVON: Are you all right?
DAYNA: Yes.
AVON: When we first met, you said there was no pleasure without danger. Do you still feel that way?
DAYNA: I think I can do without excitement for a little while.

Watched "The Family Plan 2" on Apple TV, and got a little jolt of excitement when, during a knife-fight on an open-top double-decker going through Piccadilly, an automated voice points out that the statue is of Anteros, not Eros.

Blizzard warning?! Guess the weather is looking to add some excitement to this Christmas.

Good Morning #Canada
While the excitement and disappointment of the #BlueJays season is fading a little, we can still take pride in the fact that we invented the game of baseball. You read that correctly - Canada was the birthplace of North American baseball as we know it today. From Wikipedia:
"... the first official baseball game with a documented score card took place not in the U.S., but in Canada in 1838. While Canada invented the version of baseball we know today, innovations made by New York City clubs became the basis for the modern game, far removed from its English ancestor, but extremely similar to the Canadian version".
It turns out that the earliest, detailed, reputable account of baseball being played in North America came out of a game in Beachville, Ontario on, June 4, 1838. And there are decades of records detailing Ontario teams regularly beating American competitors in league play or matches.

Good Morning #Canada
Canadians should reflect back on the glorious past few weeks and the excitement provided by the Toronto #BlueJays. A team not expected to contend for any title when the season began, they surprised the experts, the fans, and the teams that stood in their way. Some Canadians had flashbacks to previous World's Series Championships, some younger fans built their own memories, and millions jumped on board the bandwagon. We celebrated every pitch, every swing of the bat, every win that brought us closer to a championship, and each other. If you can't change the situation you're in - or the final score in a game 7 - you can always change your perspective. Don't be sad for our Blue Jays. Remember the joy they brought us individually and collectively.
