Random thought that popped into my head:

I don't know whether I should be a little surprised or not at all surprised that apps like ChatGPT, Anthropic, Gemini, et al. have never been referred to as LLAMAs, which strikes me as a reasonable acronym for Large LAnguage Model Agents. I mean, come on, it's sitting right there in plain sight ...

Meta already has Llama.

you need an old style line-printer to go with a LLAMA so it can spit out its results.....

I plugged the exact same string into Google's Gemini and got this:

Just for fun, I did it again;

Not good.

Maybe the term LLAMA can be Xeroxed or Kleenexed or Cellophaned.

I think ChatGPT is on the path to that.  At least in my circle of people.

Meh. No one’s getting paid to know the WS winners by heart. They’d be paid to create the graphic. Feed the LLM the data, and tell it to create the graphic based off the data, it will absolutely do it. Anyone who thinks AI won’t take a lot of jobs because they found a case where it is dumb is not using it correctly, or coping. Probably both.

I was pushed content about an OnlyFans person on the Facebook. I asked Meta, from their own prompt, why she was famous. It is mixing up her name with a Wisconsin politician. So I’m getting shown bikini clad videos indicated there’s more to be had, with Christian family value content from this politician.  Good stuff.

I use AI for the dumbest purposes, so I asked it how many moose are in Michigan and where they are located. Of course it told me they are located in the western UP and moose in my area in Detroit is extremely rare but not impossible, so I’m on the lookout for the rare Detroit moose sighting. I’ll check Belle Isle.

Last one I can think of is that Bill Skowron played his last game at Tiger Stadium on Oct 1, 1967. which was of course the infamous last day Sunday DH against the Angels that the Tigers needed to sweep to catch the Red Sox for 1st place.

damn - didn't think of that one.

I always remember that Bill Skowron was 'Moose' because a kid I was in grade school with was also a Skowron and since he was a pretty big kid he got nicknamed "Moose" as well.

My parents were members of a Moose lodge in their later years. They got into ballroom dancing and joined to go to dances. I also have a friend who works at Mooseheart, the residential school for children of Members of the Moose who's family is unable to care for them

Mooseheat - that's a name from the past.  Years ago (many) a buddy of mine and his wife went to Mooseheart to visit someone or somebody, don't remember. It was there they ran into Art Carney of Honeymooners fame. He ended up at the same hotel and they sat in the room and drank and ate until 2 am. They said Carney was a hoot and a great guy. That had to be a ball.
