So, uh... I just did a Google search which was not about homework... because I haven't been in school in decades, and I got this pop up from Google. And, like, I actually think there are ways to use AI in school properly, but this kind of advertising from Google seems... super sketchy.

I need to build myself a mute-toggle for Teams again. I'm thinking a Jeopardy looking thing. Perhaps even push-to-talk? I did one long ago with a huge button and the same chip but that was in C++ and I want to g Python this round.

Stumbled upon this in my photos and it seems so incredibly fitting for these times we find ourselves in.

I think this #AI wave is going to result in the next web. I'm starting to see the value in 'agents' for coding and work assistance and I do see people eventually using them in their personal lives. Were it me I would want this on a device locally; an LLM agent of my choice on my own hardware...
