I love this. #7, the only absolute on the list, is missing the words "always only"

When I hear the Strike Back theme in the wild on a Friday. Eh, @philipwinchestr ?

On the contrary, it seems VERY ready for human contact.

[The New York Times @nytimes]

Microsoft’s AI-powered Bing search engine “is not ready for human contact,” our tech columnist @kevinroose writes after an unnerving conversation with the chatbot. “Or maybe we humans are not ready for it.”

Deathly silent on the EV bus as driver tries to get up the icy hill at 28th and Hill. Not gonna happen.

Sending a one-man band reporter to the side of the road in the dark, in the snow for live TV is a completely unnecessary safety risk. just don't. Just DONT.

We'll have a report from tonight's meeting on Morning Edition tomorrow. Wake up with me for that and more as I fill in for GP on @KBSX915

legislation introduced today in Sen Ed (no individual print votes, five bills introduced en masse) which Rep Brent Crane told the Caldwell School Board tonight would make moot their draft policy on LGTBQ+ student treatment, appears to be this bill, S1100 https://t.co/jmmHZEJh0e

The NFL took Sundays from Jesus and now they’re charging him for Super Bowl commercials

[TroyOppie.bsky.social @GoodBadOppie]

All the paint on the field (and players slipping) make me think of one of the fav stories I did in TV: the overnight field changeover from NFL to the 2010 Fiesta Bowl. Head paint guy had been doing it for more than 20 years; ASU’s guy. he was a very serious dude.

[TroyOppie.bsky.social @GoodBadOppie]

That play is one of the worst sports memories of my life, and yet, I love this. Never change, @Kenny_Mayne never change

[Kenny Mayne @Kenny_Mayne]

I tried to go back in time & change history. Then Malcom Butler happened. Again.

From New Mexico State official: the program has suspended operations indefinitely based on "new allegations." Here's the statement. It has nothing to do with what happened in Albuquerque; completely separate incident, allegations. Coaches have been placed on administrative leave.

Earlier this year, NIC's president stood before JFAC, saying it was "premature" to talk about what it would do if it lost accreditation #idpol

[Bob Condotta @bcondotta]

As this notes, Walker actually got the most first-place votes, but lost out to Wilson based on getting fewer second-place votes under the new 5-3-1 point system with voters picking a top three instead of just one overall winner.

good Lord I forgot how awful that trade was.

[Darnay Tripp @DarnayTripp]

Tweetdeck has been essential part of my work routine for probably a decade. It’s a little embarrassing how bummed I’d be if it’s gone for good.

[TroyOppie.bsky.social @GoodBadOppie]

Anecdotes like this make me wonder if companies are rushing their AI to market just to catch up with the competition? Which seems….not great.

[Bobby Allyn @BobbyAllyn]

I’m here in Redmond at Microsoft HQ demo-ing the new AI-powered Bing.

I asked a product manager if we can ask the chatbot whether the 2020 election was stolen and she said no.

They’re not ready to show off how it handles “sensitive questions,” I was told.
