Day 27: a quick one, while he’s away

The AI article is out.

It’s horrible, but I’d appreciate you reading it anyway.

Today’s chief achievement was making some little blocks to boost the lounge suite’s height by about a centimetre so the robot vacuum can make it underneath. Summoning that knowledge took me about a minute of serious thought; I was genuinely struggling to remember what else happened today. It was because I’d spent most of my time online, reading and responding to comments, and that sort of behaviour does funny things to the perception of time and the formation of memory.

The cake I baked didn’t turn out too badly. The kids at our son’s preschool ate it and apparently they’re fine.

And just after school pickup a mate messaged me asking if I’d like to come mountain biking, and you know what? I did, so I did. Ripping along some sun-dappled trails at silly (for me) speeds was just what I needed; sometimes we all just need the catharsis that only outdoor exercise can bring. I recommend trying it tomorrow, especially as a much-needed chaser if you happen to have read that terrible article I’m very proud of.
