The clouds actually made it a beautiful moonrise.
That sure happened fast. Our AI Overlords have begun their takeover of humanity. Albania has created their first AI Minister. Not a Minister of AI running a Ministry of Artificial Intelligence. A actual AI-generated Minister of Procurement that will run the department.
This is so great, on so many levels. An immediate fix to the massive graft problem they have over there, pulling procurement process and decisions from the head of every agency and consolidating at the top. Great way to consolidate “follow the $$” power too.
But, what could possibly go wrong….

What I’m interested to know is if you need contacts to correct your vision.

As they stand now…no. But it used to be that only obnoxious traveling salesman and rich douchebags “needed” mobile phones.
The huge privacy issues of prior efforts at this still remain (like wearing them into a gym locker room…or just a gym in general), and currently the capabilities aren’t there, but this effort seems to be scarily close to a finished product with broad appeal.
Few years ago I was around a pool table, and this guy was walking around for his next shot…and after about a minute of trying to talk to him as he was talking
I realized he was on one of your earphones buddies whole time. And at that point I wanted to murder that guy, kinda, but I just ran the table instead

My chief old man yells at cloud complaint is the younger generation wandering everywhere with their ear buds on, especially in the office. I have no idea if it’s appropriate for me to speak to them, which is probably an effective strategic choice on their part.

I’m just waiting for Houston to break its summer fever, which simply isn’t on the forecast through mid-October at least.
I don’t think it’s ever going to rain in Austin again.
