We're the full-size candy bar house for trick or treating. But chocolate = expensive! Looking like .91 cents/each at cheapest. Am trying to convince my wife that feeder goldfish are .25/each, and we could make some AMAZING MEMORIES by handing kids plastic baggies of goldfish

Imagine the sounds of kids running back from the neighbors' front doors... excited to share what they got with the group of waiting parents on the sidewalk... "I got a bag of chips!" "I got a full size Snickers!" "I got Reese's pumpkins!" "I got a new pet goldfish!!!!!"

If you've caught a coworker saying "delve" out loud in a meeting this week, congrats, you've seen lexical entrainment in the wild, and the research says a short chat with a bot is enough to plant its words in your own vocabulary. gregswan.substack.com/p/were…

The @HomeDepot Saban doorbell commercial is triggering my dog over and over. And I’m seeing a ton of hate on social from dog owners (going back two weeks since it started airing). And my Gen Z kids said we should only shop at Lowe’s from now on if it plays again. Weird strategy.

I wonder if we’ll look back at lists of how to use AI agents like #Muse like this the same way we would think of a list called “102 real use cases for the internet” years from now musecases.netlify.app/

So this is frightening… Meta’s new AI agent Muse asking me if it’s okay if it clicks the “I am human” checkboxes without asking me for future searches….

First Kyler Murray pass of the season was an interception and I turned off the TV and told everyone at my #Vikings game watch party to get out.

Welp.
Kyler Murray gets injured on just his 11th snap with the Vikings. Carson Wentz will come in. Packers lead 9-0 in the first Q.

Facebook Messenger has added a “Turn into song” option when you long press a message. Then you select genre and it drops the song straight into your chat. Taking the Text-to-Song trend where people were using Suno to make comedic songs from group tests and making it native.

AI assistants are finally getting useful enough for normal people. Now comes the trust problem. gregswan.substack.com/p/were… #Muse

I also set up a monitor of Facebook Marketplace to tell me if used Wii games go on sale within 5 miles of my house. And to send a group text thread a message if limousines go on sale for <$5000 (I’m trying to get my friend group to pool dollars and buy one, of course).
