What a fascinating write up in Arstechnica about a new search engine that leaves the duplicitous business models behind. When you think about it, search really has morphed in weird ways over the last 20 years. It’s almost like it’s not about search anymore. If we truly do still have a vibrant internet or the desire to do so, this product makes a compelling argument. Reminds me a little of dogpile search from way back, anyone remember that? Looks like they are still around, surprisingly. We need stuff like this now more than ever. Check it out here, it’s a great analysis:
Yeah I know where your mind went! It’s okay, we all have our moments. Since I shared a pic of my new turtle, I thought it would be good to share some of the turtle’s roommates. Enjoy. đđđ
Yeah, I know, it stinks to have to worry about this, but over the last few years, if you work in an office environment, you’ve more than likely had this happen, and perhaps you didn’t know it? If you manage people, it can be even more detrimental to have employees generating content which is being used in email communications, perhaps to leadership or clients. Having the tools to help detect when AI is being used is a good first step towards paving paths forward to clear solutions around the use of AI. I’ve used a lot of tools to help detect content which is generated by AI, but a lot of the tools in the market want to charge for the service. When reviewing documents, emails, or resumes for AI content, to correct the behavior, perhaps paying for this service is warranted, but it really depends on how often you need to use it. If you’re occasionally in need of a detector, here are a few sites to help out. The first is really good, GPTzero, but they only allow for a limited number of free searches. The second site is free, and from what I’ve been able to tell is also really good. If you aren’t sure if a document or email was written by a human, these tools are going to help uncover the truth with amazing accuracy. I highly recommend adding these to your toolbox at the office!
I really dig this song. It takes you to the edge of a crescendo. However, it never quite gets there. It’s like you’re sitting on the edge of your seat all the way through. So brilliant, enjoy!
Saw this little one standing in the middle of my neighborhood road yesterday. Was worried it would get run over so I put it in my little pond to see if it would like hanging out there for a while. It seems like it’s happy đđđ my fish seem okay with it too. If it starts eating them I’ll take it down the road to another wetland area it can be happy in. Seems to be called a painted turtle and is the state turtle here in Michigan:
Happy August 1st! Alas, summer is coming to a close. This morning the sunrise was noticeably later. The morning air is crisp here today. Every day, we’re moving closer to Fall. But…it’s still summer for now! Hope everyone has a great day.
I have two beautiful kitties, one who’s pictured below, and my other who you’ll see soon enough. They are both quite the characters! In addition, I try to help the feral cats around my neighborhood when I can, so I occasionally have a chance to snap some pics of them too. As such, I’ll probably share some random cat pics from time to time, so enjoy!
