LOL this is the problem with relying on AI tools, as well...

"...His core argument: Tesla is asking humans to supervise a system that is specifically designed to make supervision feel pointless. As he puts it, an unreliable machine keeps you alert, and a perfect machine needs no oversight, but one that works almost perfectly creates a trap where drivers trust it just enough to stop paying attention.

The research backs this up. Psychologists call it the “vigilance decrement”, monitoring a nearly perfect system is boring, boredom leads to mind-wandering, and drivers need 5 to 8 seconds to mentally reengage after an automated system hands control back. But emergencies unfold faster than that...."

Hmm, I wonder if they will let me polish the lamps when I am there. Do all genies have to give you wishes, I wonder? Maybe don't open Pandora's chest.

Hmm, wonder what's up. Fire alarm at a local elementary school AND a local high school (not anywhere near to each other). 🤔

@jeridansky Yes! All the bunnies doing well right now (knock on wood). The eldest got some amount of fluid flushing and now seems to be doing great... possibly kidney stones earlier. They are heat sensitive for sure, any stress can throw off their eating and their hydration especially.

HELLO HUMANS WELCOME TO THE ANTHROPOCENE

WELCOME TO 2026, SAYS THE CLIMATE

On the plus side (knock on wood), the ocean influence is making its way onshore, so I expect I can drop the temperature of the house back down to the 60's overnight again. I DID NOT HAVE TO RUN THE A/C AT ALL today! Kept the house (and most importantly, the pet rabbits) under 72F.

Four more days of this heatwave. At least, this week.

Hey, he didn't say LIVING. 🤪

Random intersection of first aid and sewing: it's pretty much trivial to make your own, custom patterned, fashion triangle bandages, when you realize (from sewing) you have a bazillion scraps of appropriately sized squares which can be turned into triangles. 🤔 #firstaid #sewing

"Why settle for unfashionable brown triangle bandages next time you break your collar bone or arm! Pick Fashion triangle bandages!" 🤪 #firstaid #bandages

Oh look, a ham radio operator with an entire air force bombing range named after them, LOL. I don't know anything about his politics, probably terrible, I imagine.

Shave ice and giant pothole (I am guessing not a lot of takers for shave ice today). #Maui #Hawaii #Kihei #KonaLow #HIwx
