  4. Someone on FB posted that the correct way to pronounce Colorado (the state) was with a long "ah" sound (rhymes with the second word in "potato, potato").

    I said they were wrong.

    Wife of a friend of mine laid in and told me *I* was wrong because "colorado" is a Spanish word, so it should be pronounced in proper Spanish.

    By the time I thought of asking her for the "correct" pronunciation of Los Angeles, the Alamo, San Francisco, etc., she was mad, so I didn't.

    Complication: She's Mexican American, from Texas. I did mention Texas as an example before I shut my mouth, and she said the "Tejas" pronunciation was because it's not a Spanish-derived word, but from indigenous people living in the region.

    Sigh. Sometimes you just walk away.

  5. Gotta wonder why Microsoft and OpenAI are willing to indemnify you legally against copyright lawsuits. Maybe they know they can’t function w/o other people’s stolen content and they have no plan B now that they’ve convinced everyone what is possible. Gotta prop up that share $$.

    Also, fun fact: Even though you can be sued for plagiarism with these models, what you produce is not copyrightable. I sure hope you weren’t planning on legal protection of your generated assets. #ianal #butstill

  6. My husband made a joke about Howie Long being a vampire, which led to a discussion of the commercialization of religion, which led to a discussion of the insidious politicization of religion and vice versa, which led to me literally to the brink of existential crisis.

    This is that "new normal" everybody's talking about, right? #MentalHealth #panic #IMayBeHigh #NoIDerfinitelyAm #ButStill #SuperBowl #SuperbOwl

  7. Noooo please don't hide that a link's going to LinkedIn in your documents! I don't want to look like I'm stalking anyone, I literally do not want to be perceived in this treacherous void we call cyberspace unless I absolutely consent! 😫 #AMeanTrick #Jk #IKnowItsEasier #ButStill
