@smitty@mastodon.halibut.com Seems to me AI is going to be creating a bunch of jobs for people who are good at fixing all the things AI broke.

@textfiles@mastodon.archive.org Some days I think you have the coolest job … some days I think you have the worst job … and some days (like today) I think both things at different times. Thanks for all you (and all the other worker bees) do to keep so much history from being lost to the dustbin. The other day I stepped into my personal wayback machine and listened to some of that Kresge (K-Mart) background music.
