Robotic technology is coming, whether we want it or not. In this video, the robot does cartwheels—mostly just to prove it can do what humans do, which is honestly a little scary
Starlink is up last night! Promised 400 Mbps, delivering 361. Cable always promised 500, gave me 250-350. Starlink’s upload at 31 Mbps destroys cable’s 5-10. Genuinely impressed… just hoping it doesn’t drop as often as my neighbors say it does.
Here’s something I can’t stop thinking about: people are developing romantic relationships with AI companions. They know the AI isn’t real, doesn’t actually feel anything—and yet they describe these as the most emotionally supportive relationships in their lives. Is that comforting or terrifying?
New study finds companies that rush to replace workers with robots might actually hurt themselves. Turns out the competitive edge isn’t in humans and robots working together, not replacement. Still, it’s scary watching companies try to automate people out of jobs.
Just found Browser CoPilot—a Chrome extension that puts ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini right in your browser. No more tab-switching. It’s on sale, $69 for lifetime access (down from $600+). I love using AI as my assistant, but wondering if it’s actually worth it or just hype. 🤔
My dad just got Starlink, and we might hook it up today. I’m excited to see how well it works in our corner of Appalachia. Internet outages here can last for days, especially in the harsh weather, so I’m hoping Starlink will keep us online when our regular service goes down.
