A new and exciting AI use case I came across this week was that Meta have changed the way you can search your business's product catalogue within its commerce back-end (hi to the people who put me on "does not understand AI" lists, presumably to make it quicker to turn up and tell me AI is lovely)..

I just remembered that there was a free chocolate bar in my hotel room and I meant to bring it along when I checked out yesterday but forgot. What a wasted weekend.

A few years ago you couldn't move for white Tesla cars, and now there are not only far fewer Teslas on the road (a personal observation rather than a checked fact) but almost all of them are dark grey. I think the initial burst of white Teslas were perhaps often leased, but where did they *go*?

I'm not sure "he's not even a real bin" is the winning electoral argument some of Count Binface's opponents imagine. I think the voters of Clacton had pretty much already realised that on their own.

Being in the top 8% of Map Tap players would feel better to me if I didn't associate with a bunch of geography nerds online who consistently score higher than me (I am talking about you, bluesky nerds)

Whatever way you look at it, it’s bin-bin.

All my Bonk gone

data visualization is my passion.

off topic but why do american politicians require a coterie of useless meat behind them when they speak, it is a reference to greek mythology and the muses or is it just stupid

Just passed a woman telling her dog "don't overthink it"
