Me and AI:

Just did a migration while using metalmonitoring.com - I'd say everything went fine!

I'm going for my Sisters of Mercy look today.

I built a real-time emotion detector that runs 3 AI models in your browser simultaneously. No server, no API calls, $0/month hosting. It's themed after Blade Runner's Voight-Kampff test. Try it 👉 v-k.tyrellnexus.com/ AI wrote all the code 🤖

Continuing with my @Windows 10 conversation and the machine I was using: - It died. The mobo/processor decided to eat it, and it won't POST, even with CMOS/BIOS resets. Maybe it was too old. I need a new desktop computer for home for me to work and (maybe someday) play games and relax. So, I decided on an @Alienware / @Alienware_JP Area-51 from @Dell / @Dell_JPN , which I customized to my liking (almost - they only offer @intel processors). I paid for the thing using my US credit card and - get this - they asked via e-mail - (and I quote): "Thank you for ordering our products. Your order number is 1234567891, and we are currently processing it. However, the credit card used for this order was issued overseas and cannot be verified in Japan, so we need proof of ownership. We kindly request that you attach the following three items to this email reply and respond by the deadline: • A photo of the credit card with the card number on the surface • A photo of the front side of your identification card (driver's license or health insurance card) • A photo of yourself holding your identification card and credit card.(with a clear image of your face) If we do not receive a response, we will not be able to deliver the product. Please note that we cannot proceed with the order without the necessary documentation. Thank you for your cooperation." And asking for me to send this via e-mail... This is supposed to be an international-scale business that not only handles computers but also security. Are you kidding me?

@Spotify This is not a new single by the Venom I listen to: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venom_… , and there's nothing I can do about it to report it or make it go away.

Social media is drowning in "AI slop" and engagement bait. I'm not optimizing for algorithms. This is my space. Gaming platforms, trading bots, metal, building stuff, and interesting things. Some posts/comments won't be "LinkedIn appropriate." Good. Comment "AI slop" for a free copy of my e-book👇

𝗪𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗼𝘄𝘀 𝟭𝟬 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗲𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝗢𝗰𝘁 𝟭𝟰𝘁𝗵, and my home machine lacks TPM 2.0 for the Win11 upgrade. 🤔 Time to seriously consider defenestrating (this is actually a word-look it up) myself and going back to Linux? 🐧 The irony: most AI dev tools I use daily now treat Linux/Mac as first-class citizens and Windows as an afterthought. I built this PC myself years ago, but honestly? I've lost the time and energy to build another from scratch. If I upgrade, I'm buying something pre-built or semi-assembled. Not the tech tinkering dilemma I wanted right now, but here we are. Maybe I'll rediscover my hardware enthusiasm later... or just embrace the penguin. 🐧 (And if you're an 🍎 person, please no preaching because I've got an iPhone 12 Pro Max that I can't upgrade the OS on, and Steve Jobs still owes me a personal apology for the lemon of a MacBook Pro I had many years ago) 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗶𝗻𝟭𝟬 𝗱𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲?
