Getting a laugh out of life

I grew up in the 1950s and 1960s, long before smartphones and social media.

This has a huge benefit - I did a lot of dumb stuff when I was young - but now there’s no proof.

I have a theory that Infrasound is made up of the collective guilt and shame of humanity and if we could tap into it we could find out all about the dumb stuff you did as a kid

But what if you feel no guilt or shame over your former stupidity?

I have embraced it and accepted it as part of what made me who I am today and I kinda like me. :sweat_smile: and I still do stupid stuff but nowadays it is usually an accident

I think it’s cool how the 1 and 3 always huddle around 5 who is still naked and more vulnerable

Also swapped out the bedding for shredded paper. Hoping for an easier cleanup plus 5 was always tangled in the strands of the old stuff

I feel much the same. There’s very little in my past I’m actually ashamed of. However, there’s a few things the law might still be interested in.

For some really weird reason, a rhyme my dad used to recite to me at bedtime, suddenly popped into my head. Mind you, my dad was born in 1923

“Let’s go to bed”, said Sleepy Head

“After a while,” said Slow

“Put on the pot,” said Greedy Guy

“Let’s eat before we go”

I think it is because I am power washing (the game) a rollercoaster ride run by Sheila Layter. Which reminded me of,

See ya later alligator

After a while crocodile

My mind is moving in long lost areas of my brain today

There was a robot? Did I just miss the little fella? I always seem to arrive just after cool robots have been and gone. I was this close to meeting a dalek actually used on set once at a fun fair.

We have a robot that monitors the group for spam. Usually it does a good job, and I suspect most members never see the stuff. This evening, however, we had a little rush of it, and I think the robot was overwhelmed. I had to manually flag about a dozen posts.

So any time I’m technically here, I’m hanging out with a robot? Day made.

The 1X employees need to look through its camera eyes (into your apartment) and remote control the motions live. They casually mention it. I bet they collect the motion captures and will try to train the next generation on that data.
Hmm. The way they move is “Uncanny Valley” for me, like a human pretending to be a stiff harmless clumsy robot.
PS: apparently it is slow moving, its battery last 4h, and it’s as loud as a fridge. Impressive, but not what I am looking for.

Man, this called for a hand wave and “Of course this isn’t the droid you’re looking for.”

I mean, why bother? There’s people that earn way less than that subscription, just hire some of those, put them in a too small room without ventilation and insufficient facilities, and you’ve got yourself a business model. They won’t excell at their job, but they’ll probably still do it better than current-gen algorithms, and they are way cheaper to…. errr… retrain.

It’s not called a Robot for nothing, you know! It’s right there in the name!

They do mention at the end, not in so many words, there will be problems and issues but it is expected to improve over time as they upload updates to the software.

Basically, you are paying to help them improve the thing.

Still, I would be in if I had money to blow. It is creepy but cool. Then again, I am a bit nutty.

I marvel at how No Man’s Sky has changed my outlook.

I looked at the webcam I’d place on the desk and immediately thought, “Autophage head."
