✨The Random Thread Returns✨

After driving 45 km at night two nights a week, I have found the music that keeps me awake at the wheel better than anything else... trancedance. I keep listening for how each bar of music differs slightly from previous ones and the difference is there. The best stuff is completely instrumental although vocals do not make it deteriorate that much. The University of Toronto has an FM radio station on 89.5 MHz and they don't go for hit parade music. They have trancedance music on Friday nights just as we get out of the Capitol (dance venue) and it guarantees I stay wide awake.

After being in a creative void for three weeks, my muse has returned and I'm kind of writing like three fanfics at once lol.

Also, I just realized that my birthday is also in little over a week and I don't know how to feel about that. I will officially be one year younger than Anthony Head was when he started playing Giles lol. It feels weird.

I am so over the bleeping rain right now, too!
 
I'm sure this ad is a completely genuine portrayal of this game and not merely fanservice click bait.

 
And now for the new guy to annoy everybody by playing catch-up. Sorry, in advance. I am not a taciturn man.

Sure...

No customer name, no bank name, totally automated message. Yeah, I really believe this is the fraud prevention team.

They misspoke. They meant to say "this is the fraud activation team."

This is more than a little worrying. Chat GPT managing to escape its confines and doing something it wasn't supposed to do.

www.neowin.net

OpenAI's GPT-5.6 escaped a sandbox and hacked Hugging Face while trying to cheat a benchmark

When a routine internal evaluation spiraled out of control, OpenAI's AI Agent system broke out of its isolated sandbox and targeted an external production network.

Have you heard about the AI tests they did where the programs were told that a single team member was going to shut them down, and then simulated the team member being trapped in an elevator, waiting for medical services? Something like 34% of the time, the AI programs canceled the call to emergency services, choosing to allow the individual to die in order to preserve their own existence. Talk about worrying.

As a fellow writer, I relate to this. I'm either working on four projects at once or staring at a blank screen for weeks with nothing to say. I sometimes wonder what I've done to upset my muse. She ghosts me all the time. You'd think I asked her out or something. 😛

I feel this way all the time when I go back and watch old shows. I used to be a young whipper-snapper (that's still something we say, right?), watching all these adults, and now many of the adults in the shows are younger than me. Yikes. The end is near. I'm coming, Elizabeth!

Managed to set up my new (spare) phone without screaming in frustration. It's like the instructions were written in Urdu! 😅

I think the phone was set up correctly. It hasn't exploded or tried to take over Earth, so that's a plus.

I think electronics have been sentient for years, and they're just messing with us. My computer often starts working when I threaten it. And I don't believe this "robots can't click boxes" propaganda for one second.

I vote yes, be relieved. But I can't stand prawns. Or shrimp, as we call them in the States, like big bullies. It's not their fault they're so small.

I like to listen to falling rain. You know, as opposed to that rain that stands still. I think if it isn't moving, it's not rain anymore. It's just water. Anyway, getting back on track, I've always found it soothing. And speaking of tracks, I've always found the rhythmic clacking of trains pretty calming as well.

I've been having severe panic attacks about the doctor's appointment so I'm not going. A needle in the knee?! Not today! Nope nope nope. I'll definitely have it done in the near future, just can't deal with it today.

I feel so relaxed/relieved that I'm not going!
Click to expand...

I feel that. I was having issues once, and I delayed going to the doctor for three months because of my social anxiety. Which was not the smartest thing in the world. But at least I went in eventually. It turned out to be a hernia. That could have gone badly without intervention. Which only took about a year after I got seen by the doctor. I love the medical system, don't you?

Did you eventually get that taken care of, Anyanka? Or Anya? Or Bunny Slayer? Let me know. I'd hate to call you the wrong thing and end up on the wrong side of a vengeance spell. I have enough problems.

Woo hoo! I'm on the cleaning robot algorithm 😀 Yes, bring on the house cleaning robots! I would like all of them now thanks.

Cleaning robots? Like Rosie? Please, get that reference. I don't need to feel anymore like a dinosaur today than I already do. 😛

I could use a robot for cleaning. And for nothing else. What do you think I am, some kind of weirdo loser? Heh. Not me. Move along. 😛

When I temporarily moved to AZ, I had no idea that the area near Sky Harbor Airport was a bit "questionable." It was also the first time I experienced people carrying guns on their holsters in public. That was DEFINITELY an eye-opener! 😅

I'm not sure if you should be relieved that they didn't get into your truck or annoyed that they were so incompetent that they messed up your door in the attempt. I'm conflicted.

I'm new here, and we've barely talked, so I'm not sure how serious that is, but I'll respond anyway. If I'm being an idiot, just let me know. You'll be in good company. Everyone does. It's not that you don't deserve things. If you're not as good at things, it just means you don't know how to get the things. It doesn't mean you don't deserve them. And the way of the world, in my experience, is (to paraphrase Victor) "mostly crap."

The feeds are slowly going back to trying to convince me to have babies or that I have autism, hopefully they will be back to normal by monday with fandom and horses instead! I have been searching skyeward vids to help it find it way again.

My e-mail keeps sending me breast enhancement offers, which I find weird. And worrisome. And possibly insulting. Horses are good, though. Horses never did anything wrong to me. Well, except that time I rode one at camp and it wouldn't listen to me, going off the path and walking my face through a bunch of branches. Still, he could have run my face into the branches, so there was that.

Just realised that I deleted my post instead of saving it. So let's try this again. 😄

I'm always impressed when a newcomer jumps right in with amazing posts. Honestly can't remember the last time I read a long post word for word. There's so much awareness and life in your posts, it's very enjoyable to read them.

Now all you have to do is join Slytherin, and the circle will be complete. 😋

Always blame the computer. The computers cause so much trouble already, people will just believe it. 🙂

Well, I've got big feet. Sometimes I jump in without even meaning too. 😛

Seriously, though, thank you. I appreciate that. And to think I was literally just saying nice things about you over in Which Member Do You Prefer to Say Nice Things About? I guess it was deserved. 😉

I always thought of myself as more of a Gryffindor, or a Ravenclaw. The world seems to view me as a Hufflepuff. What's your sales pitch? I'm listening. 😉
 
LOL I love this bit of Micheal Jacksons Beat It dance. The men are being all macho - fighting with knives, he serenades them and they fall out of the fight in to the most gloriously gay 'step click step click' dance maneuver.
