AI can be awesome and awful.  

My bachelor's degree is in Computer Science and Mathematics.  My "capstone" project was using the then novel concept of AI to timetable university classes to maximize all constraints such as students' and teachers' other class schedules and travel time from previous classes, room size, technology requirements,.  (let me tell you whatever they currently use is still not as good as my program but....anyhoo...)

I kind of enjoy watching how people are embracing and rejecting Ai  -often at the same time- now it's actually really with us.

Flint highlighted in another thread how damaging it can be....  but let's have some fun with the lighter side.

Where should AI really not be, and where might it be good?  And where might it be a double-edged sword?

For the Double-Edged-Sword category, I'mm'a nominate sex toys.

For ABSOLUTE NO ...online voting  (and Art -but Flint covered that)
Oooh and naminng children.

For Yes ... I nominate prosthetic limbs controlled by monitoring brain activity

Solstice is Sat 21st Dec, we usually zoom on the Sunday nearest in the evening (UK) afternoon (US) Early As Fuck Monday (Aus).... but as many might have different commitments/freetime over this period, we thought we would hold a vote to guide us. Please only answer if you are interested in participating -I know some of us struggle with troll tendencies, but.....
Times used in the poll are GMT, conversions are as follows:

Eastern US -take 5 hours off.
Central US -take 6 hours off
Mountain US -take 7 hours off
Pacific US -take 8 hours off
AEST (Aus) -add 10 hours
UK  -do nothing, you time gods

If you have an absolute strong favorite, time you absolutely can't do, another suggestion, or a completely irrelevant comment -feel free post a reply here.  I will also ask in the place where the ghosts of Cellar past who like to haunt zooms lurk.

It's time like this I really appreciate living here and having health insurance even though the cost is outrageous.  But also makes me angry that the treatment I can get is not available to all human beings.

She has to wait 2 weeks for the scan to see if it has spread....  ugh

Banana Lady (Beest's mum) has cancer.

Fortunately Hebe already planned for us all to go there for Christmas this year (less than a month 'til we leave)

But Bollocks.

Scorpion's blunt tip is not all that impressive.  We are sure that isn't the tip of a weird clit, right?

... I searched for an image ...but all had too high a beans to toast ratio for my taste, and also used pre-sliced "plastic" bread for the toast whereas I like to used chunky slices hand-carved from a real bakery kind of loaf of bread.

Americans do not do bread well.  sigh.
