Just saw a commercial for Meta AI, the theme of which was about how AI isn't scary at all and is really a way for people to connect with each other. The music in the background? Five Years by David Bowie.
Which, in case you're not familiar with it, is a song about the literal end of the world.

Went to the Brookfield zoo today. This gorilla, we were informed by a helpful volunteer docent, is Binti, who famously rescued an injured child who fell in the enclosure 30 years ago. Looked it up and weirdly enough, today is the exact anniversary of the incident. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binti_J...

Today at the zoo I also learned of the existence of the Arabian Sand Cat. If I hadn't seen this creature with my own eyes I would have thought it was AI created. It's SO CUTE!

Saw Spiderman today - pretty good - but of the five trailers for action movies they showed, every single one of them used a slowed-down, reverbed classic rock song as the music bed. Every Single One. This trend has gotten out of hand.

An exercise I find helpful in understanding the current moment - every time I see a headline with the word "AI", I mentally substitute the word "computers" into the headline and ask myself if that means the exact same thing as the original. Most of the time it does.
