I can’t decide: is this snowstorm fake news or a photo op just for publicity’s sake? Of course, it could be part of some deep state conspiracy. . .maybe the FBI/CIA started it. . .sure could use those outer space lasers right about now. . .
So, not to far from the truth. I was talking about dog doors the other day and suddenly I was seeing ad’s for dog doors in my online surfing. I’m going to start talking about girl friends and see what happens.
Yesterday while I was in the bedroom, I was having trouble bringing up my mail, so I wanted to tell Google to do it. In a lapse, I said Alexa instead of Google. She starting telling me that I hadn’t set it up & telling me to do it. When she started in, I realized what I did, told her to stop & told Google to bring up the mail. She heard me say Alexa, so to me I hadn’t added her to my phone. It took a bit to get both of them to shut up & finally was able to get Google to bring up the mail. The funny thing is half the time Alexa can’t hear me when I’m at the bedroom door & I was across the room at the time. She is in the living room T the other end.
Hey, guys…In case you missed it in the news (I’m sure it was the lead story in all the national news outlets), today is the Non Sequitur’s 29th anniversary. Pretty sure it’s a national holiday now. :-)
In the American South, weather shifts like that aren’t that surprising. We can go from our equivalent of brutal to birds chirping and balmy weather in a day. We had a dang thunderstorm last night, a few days after an ice storm, for Pete’s sake.
Happy anniversary! My favorite strip! I love Danae and Kate story lines, followed by the Homer saga… Oh, I just love your creative brain! Keep on being CREATIVE! Captain Ed and the cat can sail down to Virginia anytime!

So the computers have more intelligence than the human? That’s par for the course! ;D

There will always be gullible people. In some cases when you follow outlandish statements it can lead to “thinning of the herd”

And all of it becomes “big data” to be mined for profit and to control you for profit. January 6th was no accident.

Anyone that blindly follows Alexa or Siri deserves the consequences. Same thing goes for blindly following any “leaders”.

Best to toss both of them out into the snow for first hand experience. Dig ‘em out in April to see if they’ve learned anything.

Siri, tell him to send money to the Trump Election Defense Fund.

Why even bother with Alexa? You can only use it in whichever room you put it in. But Siri can be with you everywhere you go.

So, the programmers have given up on AI (artificial intelligence) and going for AS instead? If at first you don’t succeed – set the bar lower.

See, this is where Joe should’ve followed that stand-up skit by Gabriel Iglesias and gotten himself a black iPhone:

The benchmark for a true ‘’artificial intelligence’’ would be, a sense of humor.

By the way, I recommend being kind and courteous to Siri and Alexa so you have friends on the other side when the machines take over.
