Being Dead lives rent free in my head these days. Their sophomore album EELS is perfect for this moment. Indie rock still got it. youtu.be/S650YFB45Ho?...

Pretty sure we are past peak AI when every tech company has to include LLM in their stack. I see AI more as a long con by an industry clear out of innovative ideas looking for more ways to demonstrate growth. Pretty soon it will be old news and tech will be onto the next overhyped thing.

Anyone else sketched out doctors use AI to diagnose patients? I use LLM routinely for software development and know they aren't reliable. It's far too early to trust AI with people's health.

The scene today from World Sausagefest and Heavy Games in SE Portland put on by the Gambler 500 folks. Keepin' Portland Weird today until 4. Fun to photograph.
