AI aint intelligent

I am sick and tired of hearing about AI and how it's going to change the world.

The last time I heard this much hype about anything it was when the web was invented and everyone who know how to code some simple html was getting rich because investors were certain it was the best thing ever. Then the bubble popped and the financial shit hit the fan. All the small startups that the investors had founded suddenly went belly up everyone lost their money.

With AI, it's no longer just rich investors losing money, it'll be cities and towns being damaged by all the data centers cropping up everywhere. When this bubble pops, those centers will go derelict and the communities will be stuck with giant vacant buildings that make all the vacant Sears buildings look good.

You need to understand that AI is really just a search engine that is sucking up all of the data it can from social media sites and then applying that data to whatever questions you ask of it.

If you carefully read what I just wrote you will see that AI is nothing more than the collective intellect of social media.

In my opinion, on a scale of "moron" to "genius", the total collective IQ of social media is somewhere between "moron" and "idiot". That means AI is basing most of it's data on the opinions of idiots.

Then again, what the hell do I know...

I'm going to watch some baseball and hopefully the Red Sox overcome their two recent losses and win this upcoming series.

The Judges are off tonight so if the Red Sox win, they will move back to one game behind them in the ALEast.

• Looks like BrainWorm Bobby has influenced Dementia Donny.



• Boy, Tulsa is either getting screwed or they need new administrators...



• I guess my town dodged that bullet.



• This is actually kinda funny.

Winning streak ends at nine.

The Red Sox lost 7-3 to the Athletics last night, ending their streak at nine wins.

This is a damned shame because the Judges won last night, opening their lead over the Red Sox to 1½ games.

Todays game wasn't much better with the Red Sox losing 4-3 to the Athletics.

Fortunately the Judges also lost so their lead remains at 1½ games.

Oh well, time to start some new streaks.

They will be in Toronto tomorrow to start a 4-game series against the Blue Jays.

I was checking in on Dementia Donny's truth thingee today and man, I gotta tell you, that guy sure loves AI image creation.

Here he is lying about being in the military:

Here he is telling Kennedy how he treats women:

Here he is drawing a imaginary hurricane path while Washington and Lincoln's ghosts wish someone would change his diaper because it stinks:

And finally, here he is telling us all that he doesn't care what the constitution says, he'll be running again and if his current work to manipulate the election process is successful, he'll win a third term:

I sometimes wonder what else he is doing with AI image creation. You know, the images he creates that he doesn't post on the internet.

Based on some of his past statements about her, I'm wondering if he's creating porn images of himself and his daughter...

Yes, my back still hurts but it's not as bad as it was.

Hopefully a few more days of heating pads and ibuprofen get things straightened out.

Until then, no more picking up heavy stuff.

Nine game winning streak

The Red Sox beat the crap out of the Athletics last night, beating them 13-1 and winning their 9^th game in a row.

Tolle was on fire. He faced 20 batters over 6 innings, giving up 1 earned run, walking 0 and striking out 14. That is a hell of an outing.

Since the Red Sox burned up their bullpen on Thursday during the 13 inning marathon game, they had to send Weissert down the Worcester and bring up a guy named Raymond Burgos. He was able to go the last 3 innings, giving up 0 runs, 0 walks and striking out 2.

The Judges and the Rays both won as well last night so there is no change in the top of the ALEast.

But....

Since the New York Judges game was delayed by rain last night, the Red Sox finished their game before the Judges finished theirs. That meant that for a very brief time last night, the Red Sox and the Judges were tied in the ALEast:

Todays game started at 4:10 and Bennett had the start. It is currently 2-0 in favor of the Red Sox after 1 inning.

With all the rain we've had lately, we are no longer in a "moderate drought". We are now "abnormally dry"...

If I understand how they make these determinations, we are considered abnormally dry not because the ground is dry and the rivers, streams & ponds are low. We are considered dry because historically we get a lot more rain than what we've gotten so far. If they were simply measuring the depths of the rivers, we wouldn't be in a drought, we would probably be considered just below the flood stage of most rivers.

I bring this up because when we were running errands the other day, my wife and I both commented on how high the Chicopee River was. Looking across it, it looked like it was over its normal bank and running through the brush & trees.

All I really know is that my sprinkler system hasn't run very much because of all the rain we've had and that makes me happy. It makes me happy because it means we might end up with a water bill that doesn't require a special one-time distribution from our retirement accounts...

Here are some links:

• There is no peace deal between the US and Iran. There is only a deal on fee schedules between Iran and Oman. Once again, Dementia Donny lied when he said a deal was imminent.



• I wouldn't wish this on anyone. It's an awful thing to go through.



• If you believe this, you are dumber than a small bag of pebbles.



• Poop: Is there anything it can't do?

Eight game winning streak

Yes, the Red Sox won last night. They are now ½ a game behind the Yankees.

I was busy today so you got nothing.

Seven game streak

The Red sox won their 7^th game in a row last night and that moved them to within 1 game of the Judges.

That win was also Sonny Gray's 14^th of the season making him the American League leader in wins.

This Red Sox are doing some amazing things and the only bad thing I can say is, "Why the hell weren't they doing amazing things at the start of the season!!!"

Contreras is not in the lineup tonight. He left the game early last night due to an unspecified illness. I'm really hoping it's not related to the brain-shaking hit he took to the helmet a few days ago.

First pitch is at 7:10 tonight and Suarez has the start.

So once again, we are all listening to Dementia Donny tell us that "a deal is imminent". What we are also hearing is that the "deal" will involve fees or tolls being collected by Iran and Oman.

Remember when shipping was free to transit the Strait of Hormuz without fear of attack and no tolls? You know, before Trump launched his attack and started making deals?

Good times...

I hope you all like paying $4.00+ for gasoline because those fees are going to drive prices up higher than they are now.

And what do you think Iran is going to do with all the money it collects? You think they're going to use it to improve the lives of their citizens? No way Jose! They are going to use it to build themselves some nuclear weapons, that's what they are going to do with it.

Yes, my back still hurts.

Yes, Salonpas is doing it's job but you can't leave the patches on all day or they'll start to eat a hole in you.

I can lay down, I can sit and I can stand up, all with no problem. It's the movement between those positions that cause me pain.
