i'd love to hear more about how i was right. 

Was your point that the cast for kratos was wrong?

I literally just told gemini "help this dude out" and included your post.

Confirmed, Gemini (technically Nano Banana) is so much better than whatever is being used with copilot.

Sometimes when lifting dumbbells, I get this concerning sensation in my right arm, where it feels like my ulna is pulling away from my elbow.  

Spoiler for Hidden:

It doesn't hurt or anything. It just feels weird. In practice it feels like the one bone is taking an extra moment to move with the rest of the arm.

Why does this one sentence give me chatgpt vibes?


Hopefully a good one.

just because it's a thing i did last year i'm trying to get the image creator to make me an image for the block party i organize each year. 

i can't get the stupid AI to understand that I want an image that fits a standard 8.5x11 in piece of paper the tall way.  it keeps making images that are wider than they are tall and i want an image that is taller than it is wide. 

I literally just told gemini "help this dude out" and included your post.

Tried it on Copilot.

I was able to get a tall image pretty easily, but it's not the right ratio. It's a 1.5 ratio height to width, instead of ~1.3 that an 11x8.5 would come out to.


There are some good image models out there. It's weird to me, because text wise Copilot runs circles around anything that I can run on my PC. But the image generator is just so lacking in terms of quality and speed.

oh boy,.. i just made a big splash in this meeting.

the guy showed a use case of asking AI to summarize his calendar for tommorow.   after watching the prompt chug the data from over a minute i asked the question "wouldn't it be faster to just look at your outlook calendar?".   the guy leading the training was like, "yeah, you're probably right".   i have over 200 laugh emoji reactions.   

i should probably just stfu in company wide meetings.

this training is kind of hilarious:

"yeah, i'm not saying AI is a great tool for everything.   maybe try being a jerk to the AI?   i find sometimes being mean to the AI helps it understand your frustration with not getting your desired results".
