I have accidentally hit the audio button more times than I can count. Its placement has always been a head scratcher for me. Most people don't use it very often. This little tutorial showed me something that should have been obvious, but somehow wasn't. It is now. So, I changed mine to show the dictation button instead.

Facebook had to have an oversight board order to remove just two deepfake videos. Two. I'm reminded continually why I decided to leave Facebook. I don't trust their leadership. I don't like what the platform has done to society.

I think Flock should be concerned for many reasons; having Grand Theft Auto add them to their game solely to abuse them is most certainly one of them.

As I read this article, I couldn't help but recognize that this future of whispering to our computers wasn't a future at all for me—it was my current state of living. These days, I spend a lot of time holding down the function key on my laptop, letting Gemini transcribe my voice. In fact, that's what I'm doing right now as I'm typing—and I use the word "typing" loosely. You'll notice that the word "typing" was put in quotation marks in the last sentence. I didn't ask Gemini to do that; it knew exactly what I meant when I spoke it. Dictation here is completely unedited. Yes, I'm already living in the whispering future.

The headline last week seemed too big to be true. $1.4 trillion in potential penalties to Meta over social media addiction? You knew this would get settled. It did. For a fraction of the $1.4 trillion potential- just $18 billion. "Just."

I've felt this way for a long time. It's humorous when a company that has built it's business on scraping the web files a lawsuit to stop someone from scraping them. So many thoughts come to mind.

You reap what you sow.
What's good for the goose is good for the gander.
Live by the sword, die by the sword.
Rules for thee but not for me.
Turnabout is fair play.
