There goes my plan to use letter blocks to compose my messages and then to take pictures of them (and then fax the pictures.)

Some of the most influential voices in the tech industry are meeting with federal lawmakers Wednesday as the US Senate prepares to draw up legislation regulating the fast-moving artificial intelligence industry. That's the setup for a joke, right?

And not a single representative of us plebians? That sounds like sound governance! /s

Why, they are just following ITIL v4's roles of governance:
- Should be driven from top down with parts delegated as needed.
- Governing body needs to retain oversight.
(and a small voice cries, "Help me, I'm being forced to take the ITIL v4 cert against my will!")
There are no solutions, only trade-offs. - Thomas Sowell

Google accused DOJ of aiming to force people to use “inferior” search products. Sounds like he's just the person to decide our future
In related trial news, "A DOJ lawyer said today that Google pays Apple at least $10 billion each year to keep its Search service as the default on the iPhone." <-- can I get a taste of that?

Llama 2 Chat can generate and explain Python code quite well, right out of the box. Code Llama’s fine-tuned models offer even better capabilities for code generation. Can you kick them?

wiping or whipping?
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
