Wow, Google just bumped up the cloud storage for AI Pro users from 2TB to 5TB.
In this day and age, it feels weird to be given something substantial and useful for free, with no strings attached.

And now they're including YouTube Premium Lite in the deal. I don't think it's been rolled out in Japan yet, but they're making it harder to drop Gemini for other AIs.

AI constantly guessing and stating its hallucinations as fact is a huge problem.

I usually get one payout a year from Steam for my game. And when I do, the bank calls me to ask what the money is for. I have to explain (every time) what Valve is, what Steam is, and what my game is. Then they let me have my money.

I really like DeepSeek, but the censorship is ridiculous. If you ask it for the name of China's president, it replies, "Sorry, that is beyond my current scope."

I wonder how much the Artemis 2 astronauts are getting paid. It's obviously risky, sitting in a tin can, hurtling around the moon at 8,000km/hr, 400,000 kilometers from home. I wouldn't do it for a billion dollars.

Twitter is getting worse by the day. So much completely made up stuff. Sensationalist nonsense with no sources, nothing that can be verified because it's all imagined! And so many AI generated comments. All to boost engagement and presumably dollars.

I want to be the lorry driver for my local public bath. Twice a day, he gets to take a scenic 2-hour drive out into the countryside, fill up his tanker with natural spring water and drive back. Call it 8 hours a day of driving, but beautiful views, low pressure, easy driving.

The Iranian women's football team, that the western media hailed as heroes for not singing their anthem, declined Australia's offer of asylum because they want to go back home. 😂

Zelensky supporting the aggressor, Takaichi giving away 80 million barrels of oil during an energy crisis, and Starmer allowing the US to use its bases to launch "defensive" bombing raids... The world is officially upside down.

The claim that over 30,000 people in Iran were killed and over 300,000 were injured in just two days of protests is absurd. Can you imagine how overwhelmed hospitals would be? That's 2 casualties every second from firearms and batons. Impossible!

Crazy to think that nearly 10 million South Koreans visited Japan last year, when their population is about 50 million. Of course, some made multiple trips, but still.

While I don't hold out much hope for Keir Starmer's trip to China, it would be nice if British citizens could be included in China's 30-day visa program. Currently, if I wanted to go to Shanghai from Japan, I'd have to apply for a visa in advance. Japanese citizens don't.

This is Gongen-yama as seen from my house, but on mornings like this it's a golden yama.

To cut off one's nose to spite one's face. That's how I view Japan's position in regards to Russia and China. How does it benefit the people of Japan to deliberately piss off our neighbours? Can't we all just get along?!?

It's crazy that we're at a point where a third world war is looking inevitable. There's even a feeling of acceptance. And rather than try to avoid it, governments seem to be pushing for it! Yet I see no discussion about what we should be doing to prepare for such a calamity.

I think we're in a strange period where you're lazy if you use AI, but you're inefficient if you don't. In a society that demands fast results, the use of AI is inevitable, especially as the quality becomes indistinguishable from human work.

For weeks I've been frustrated with a kid who hasn't brought a pencil to class for weeks. Well, I just found his pencil under the classroom carpet. Had his name on it! 😂
