It’s a black woman, sadly for some that makes it even worse.

Also watching from Europe it seemed very strange to see that biden was still first in line until it was obvious for everybody he’s not fit for the job cognitively. And maybe that wasn’t even the main problem. He just couldn’t perform anymore and failed to present himself accordingly.

Harris felt a little like an emergency choice but it was refreshing to see someone not clearly in decline due to old age.

I would have voted for her because she’s not trump, not because I think she would have been a great president.

I just don’t understand how it’s possible that such old fucks are the candidates and I struggle to believe that they are capable of complex decisions.

Who fucking guides them and tells them what to do and why do I have a tinfoil hat on?

Thanks for easing my mind a little. You definetly did in perspective to labor.

You also reminded me I already had my first encounter with a callcenter AI by telekom and it was just as useless as the human equivalent, they seem to get similar training!

I just hope it won’t hinder or replace interhuman connection on a larger scale cause in this sphere mediocrity might be enough and we are already lacking there.

The albeit small but present virtual girlfriend culture in Japan really shocked me and I feel we are not far away from things like AI-droid wives for example.

I admit I understand nothing about ai and haven’t used it in any way nor do I plan to. It feels wrong for me and I believe it might fuck us harder than social media ever could.

But the pictures it creates, the stories and conversations don’t seem like hot air. And I guess, compared to the internet we are at the stage where the modem is still singing the songs of its people. There is more to come.

I heard it can code at a level where entry positions might be in danger to be swapped for ai. It detects cancer visually, recognizes people by the way they walk in China. Also I fear that vulnerable persons might fall for those conversation bots in a world where there is less and less personal contact.

Gotta admit I’m a little afraid it will make most of us useless in the future.

Well, the “hoovah” is a marvel of human evolution. I’m just disappointed that they don’t make them like they used to.

We had a middleclass Miele vacuum cleaner that worked like a beast for 10 years. Finally had to admit that retirement was overdue for the dusty fellow.

I have tried new models by Miele, sebo and another brand, all are considerably weaker and fail to get rid of cat hair in short carpets. If someone could help me find a solid one, open for ideas!

I liked that, is it yours?
