Content warning: Muddled maunderings of a doddering fool.

#muddledMaunderings caveat emptor.
Details within.

A book is a set of possibilities. I read this in a short story in the November/December 2023 issue of Asimov’s Science Fiction. The story was titled, The Four Last Things, by Cristopher Rowe. I don’t know why, but the phrase has attached itself in my mind. In the story, the phrase is almost a throwaway line, spoken by a character to an AI in answer to the question, what is a book? It’s like watching a meme invading my mind in real time. I can almost feel tendrils of connection spreading into, …

Just so you can guess where the "AI" thing is headed, look at this listing from a local community college
"AI made simple for everyday life"
... And look at what comes next:
"Flaggers certification"
The exciting thing (for bosses) is the idea that knowledge workers will be as interchangeable (and precarious) as DOT flaggers

What if homeowners could control their own electricity flow and slash energy costs?
Schneider Electric and the National Lab of the Rockies have spent a decade exploring exactly that. They're developing smart panels and using AI to reimagine America's energy future—modeling scenarios for 2050 and quantifying how tech can deliver resilience and affordability.

Chicago is getting a place for sickos
#fedifc

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS What is Soccer House? Soccer House is a soccer-only clubhouse designed exclusively for soccer fans in Chicago's West Town neighborhood. It will be where you'll want to be to watch early-morning kickoffs, derby days, cup finals, and that midweek Conference League match in Portugal you absolutely need to see with other sickos.
What games will you show? As many as we possibly can! We'll obviously show the biggest and best matchups from across the world each weekend. Beyond that, our screens are soccer-only so the Copa Libertadores never has to compete with the Cubs. We'll also feature our local Fire and Stars prominently. With multiple rooms, screens, and audio zones, different games can run at the same time so we can pack the house with as much soccer as possible.
Are you really only showing soccer? Yes. Soccer House is a soccer-exclusive venue. It will be only soccer (but we're happy for anyone to call it football). If there isn't a game on, we'll have something else soccer- related. There will be no exceptions and no just put the basketball game on for a second." This ain't the place where the TVs switch to whatever sport is trending that night.

To be filed in "stuff I'll never understand, like ever": videos about asking AI shit.
Who the fuck cares? I mean, if you really care what the AI has to say (ha!) about something, you can ask it yourself. Why the fuck are you watching a video about someone else asking a question you can ask yourself?! Too much time to waste in your life?
People, man... They're fucking tiresome. For real.
