Life by Misadventure 2

I feel like David Bowman.

Everyone, get out your iThingys and check Siri, because I just read this:

"Siri, Apple's natural language voice control system for the iPhone4S, features a reference to the film: it responds "I'm sorry I can't do that" when asked to "open the pod bay doors"."

I am not a slave to iphones for that reason. AI scares the crap out of me!

Fixed!



and ( )

Fortunately, most AI isn't very intelligent.

But yeah, the heuristics are pretty annoying. I don't think there is an "assistant" I haven't turned off. And whenever I have to boot into Windows, I find myself cursing at the computer for trying to "help" and getting in my way, or fouling-up whatever I'm trying to do in the mistaken belief that I need its misguided help.



Silly programmers; Tricks are for kids.

Today was anything but relaxing...lots of christmas stuff. I thought about opening a bottle of wine but i wasnt in the mood...so I had some fireball. *shrugs*

Ooooo, that's a beautiful, professional looking picture there. And look below, it's Cepheid himself! That's a very good self portrait.

Oh, 2001 Space Odyssey! I haven’t seen that for so long

That is funny RE iPhone

OK, I tried it. Siri said, “Without your space helmet, Pepper, you’re going to find this rather...breathtaking.”

I snapped a photo to see what it is. It’s a little alarming. I don’t understand what this is

A closer look

Some kind of demonic eye??

OMG, I’m getting scared!

Looks kind of like a gaping mouth with jagged fangs to me.

It's a Rorschach Monster! Run!

Ohhhh, I see it too!

I think we just unleashed a demonic creature into the realms of our thread.

I'm sorry for unleashing The Destructor upon us, gang. Honest mistake.

Oh look, it’s OK. It’s just the friendly ghost that lives on my wall. It was just a bad hair day

That's okay. We've got a coven to deal with it.
Circles and everything.

Alright guys, is anyone here a licensed exorcist? I've seen enough movies and I think I could handle it. All I need is some holy water, a bible and fireball.

Hmm ... picking the GIF apart didn't show any more than KT's shot. Goodness, it has 140 frames. That was a bit of work for someone.

A lot of work for something entirely blurry?

Oh.
My.
God.

We're all a part of the illuminati now!!!!

We've been chosen!

Hee. Naw, most of the frames were to provide smooth and detailed animation for the cat.

Kitty cat monkey bars

We've seen a lot of self portraits today.
