Truely unpopular opinion: There is no such thing as being cut off in a car. People in front of you have the right of way and you need to be paying attention to what’s going on around you just like downhill skiing/snowboarding. People wait for your to pass when pulling out as a courtesy. If everyone just paid attention to what was happening directly in front of them instead of their phones the roads would be a lot safer.

Readmebio.com Wokstyle Assessments released
I’ve just added a fun new feature to readmebio.com – working style assessments. Think: Myers-briggs but for working style.
Take the assessment and it puts a fun badge with your results on your profile. I’ll likely be adding other assessments that will show other dimensions of your work personality, for now though take this assessment and tell me your results!

You know all those crappy mobile video game ads that show you a kind of interesting idea but the player is playing badly. Like shooting zombies or saving a king from highly improbable circumstances by playing bejeweled? You go download the game and it’s nothing like that.
One day I’m just gonna show those to AI and ask it to make them

Today in I love AI,
My son got some scratches on our car. Small but deep to the metal. I don’t really care about the esthetics so I’m not going to go to the body shop to get an exact paint match or whatever. I asked ChatGPT what I could do – it’s advice: Primer + Nailpolish. Done.
I went to Autozone and was suddenly hit with a delema I’ve had a million times in my life. There are 50 different kinds of primer on this shelf. I have no idea which one to get or why.
Normally I’d stand there for an hour reading the labels, only to inevitably take home the wrong thing. This time, I snapped a photo of the shelf inside that and said “Which one?”
ChatGPT thought for a long time, and then just told me the answer. Top left, Gray cap with Red label that’s for priming + sanding. Then explained why.
I love the future

People are saying AI will be the end of human thinking but the existence of calculators doesn’t stop humans from attempting and failing to do math in their heads

Life in your 40s is me passing my portable SAD lamp glasses to my wife and asking “You wanna hit?”

When we were kids they told us the slime was non-toxic but it sure didn’t smell like it

When I was a kid, I watched 2D cartoon shows. There was maybe 1 or 2 shows that had just started to do 3D by the time I grew out of cartoons and I refused to watch them. To be fair the 3D in the 90s was more Lawnmower Man than Final Fantasy.
Now days my son refuses to watch anything that’s not 3D. Which is fine because everything from Smurfs to Garfield have been redone as 3D shows.
