 [AI Regulation] Do you know why we aren’t getting any AI regulation? It’s because most members of Congress are tech illiterate and don’t know what AI can really do. The closest they’ve come to understanding AI is watching Terminator. Most don’t even know how to add an attachment to email for goodness sakes or remove an app from their smartphone. The biggest tech illiterate is the President. All he knows about tech is how to text, that’s it. He doesn’t even know how to email and he’s making decisions about AI that could destroy humanity. Could someone donate a huge sum of money to get his ear and listen about AI’s real danger. If the President truly understood the danger of AI I’m sure he would insist on regulating it right now, so would everyone else. Yes, the sky is falling. |

 [Tinkering with PC] I was playing with my old Windows 7 desktop and did the following: I had the Windows 7 Ultimate 500 GB HD running the system fine. I then added another Windows 7 Ultimate 500 GB HD and that too ran along with the Master HD fine.I then added another Windows 7 Ultimate 1 TB HD and that too ran along with the Master HD fine. With all 3 Hard Drives with 3 operating systems showing up in the computer I could click on any one and that would run fine without rebooting My motherboard only had 3 HD connections, so I don’t know how many would actually be able to run on one desktop PC. Of course the HDDs would work as File Storage without the OSs, but it amazes me that all three with Windows on each run at all |
| [Deer Imported] People forget that those damn Key Deer were brought into the Keys as pets and let go. Stupid people do stupid things, like planting grass, bringing in plant life that never belonged here, build homes like they were in South California, and destroy what the Keys were. Keys R.I.P. |
 [This site is bogus!] This site may have been earnest years ago, but presently its owner has turned it into an auto-answer AI site for his gain. Forget this poor use of other Keys residents’ trust in their neighbors!(Editor: Ouch! I’m sorry you see it like that. Bigpinekey.com does not have any AI installed — at all. Bigpinekey.com does not accept any money from anyone. Bigpinekey.com is a total financial bust. We do not have anything to sell and are not looking for any income. The only money associated with this site is the thousands of dollars spent to keep it online for the last 24 years. The content is reader driven. It’s the readers who send in posts and links to articles. I edit the posts and put the pictures and animations on select posts, except for the politics page; that I don’t edit at all. I don’t know what you mean by “poor use of other Keys residents’ trust in their neighbors”. What does that mean? Could you make sure you are criticizing the correct website. It’s unfortunate you think this is social media where you can insult without foundation or cause.) |
 [Sudoku] I filmed myself teaching my aunt and uncle how to solve a sudoku. My uncle had never done a sudoku in his life. Start to finish, nothing scripted and nothing cut. It is free and there is nothing to buy on it, so if a plain “how to play sudoku” item suits your readers better than a book item, that one is yours. ~ Dan HerlehyHow to Play Sudoku |

 When you are in a restaurant and there is only one bathroom, do you allow the lady to go ahead of you if you are in desperate need to do #2? If she takes over ten minutes and comes out putting her makeup away, is it gentlemanly to punch her lights out? But if you do go first and stink up the place, she’s going to know it was you and there goes any chance at romance. You can’t win. |
