    Only two paths of thinking. #Divide or #Unite. Examine thoughts, you will find they do that. Thoughts that unite are quite powerful. Thoughts that #pretend to be #objective, but that divide are a lie. Understanding people's motives is pretty simple.
    MAGA divides. #Homes unite.

  2. FEAR OF AI OUTRAN A FRIENDSHIP

    A friend of more than thirty years appears to have left my life because I use AI.

    Not because I handed my thinking over to a machine. I did not.

    Not because I stopped being myself. I became more myself by using AI as a mirror.

    Not because I stopped caring about truth, privacy, kindness, or human relationships.

    I use AI because writing has been slow and laborious since a major stroke some years ago.

    I use AI to think more clearly and understand what I am trying to say.

    But for some people, the word AI closes the door before the conversation can even begin.

    That has been very painful.

    Not because I need everyone to approve of how I live.

    But because I thought a friendship that old could survive one new tool.

    Perhaps it could not.

    I do not hate her.

    I do not want to punish her.

    The door remains open.

    But I will not pretend that losing a friend over this has not hurt.

    These first years of AI are going to sort people out.

    Not into good and bad.

    Into those who are willing to look carefully at how the tool is actually being used, and those who decide what it means before they even look.

    I know how I use AI.

    I know what AI is not.

    I know what AI gives me back.

    And I know the human being is still there, holding the tool.

    (Description by Loupy)

    "What are we playing today?" asked Bluey as Bingo's classmates Snow the pisse-lit (bedwetter in French, as how Loupy got people to call him alternatively with plush) pizzly and Loupy were over to play with the two sisters and Fiona, Loupy's adoptive older sister which was one year older.
    "We could be the heroes from stories! Our parents plays Dungeons & Dragons and showed us some stuff about it!" said Fiona.
    "That sound really fun." said Bingo. "It's like those knight's stories..."

    Half hour later, the kids were all dressed up in improvised costumes. Bluey was a knight, dressed in shiny aluminum foil and cardboard armor, Bingo was a mage with a fairy wand and costume, Fiona was a barbarian with her diaper barely covered by something and a plastic axe. Snow was carrying a weird cardboard tube and was colouring flames to add to said tube.
    "I'm an artificer!" said the ursine. "I have a big canon to blow everything up."
    "Your diaper sure blows up often." said Loupy while he confused people with his bow, struggling to find his glasses.
    "Are you a ranger?" asked Bluey.
    "I'm a bard... they tend to use bows too, I sing instead of having a pet plush, since Snow didn't wanted to be the pet..." answered the wolf.
    "Pleawse don't sing." said Fiona. Her brother bowed like a performer as his only answer.

    "We are facing the plush servants of the Potty Monster, plush. Hope you got something to push through." said the bard princess (title given to him by Bluey).
    "I have something right here... just hope I remember the splash zone..." answered ominously the bear.
