I don't really want "AI" in my search results. What I actually want are search results that accurately correspond to my queries. So far the "AI" tech companies have been showing off tends to do a lot of fabulation; that doesn't bode well for good search results.

READ THIS READING RAINBOW FANS....

"I firmly believe that it is our fundamental right to be literate in at least one language. If you cannot read, you cannot access your full potential in life. This letter is my call to action to parents across the country: We must unite in our shared responsibility to help kids learn how to read and inspire a lifelong love of reading."

I have the narrowest of leads and need your help to maintain it.

@ewdocparris I think it’s broken. It doesn’t fit right, the software keeps glitching, and the connectors are wonky. If I can’t get this working, I’m going to be stuck here. Forever.

He said all the parts I would need are here. He didn’t explain whatever his system was for organizing them. It probably makes sense to him. It make no sense to me. It look like an electronics store blew up.

She was supposed to be house setting her uncle Kevin’s cat, but she just had to take a peek in the basement workroom. Her uncle was a game developer and always building his own computers. He made the funnest games, so much more interesting that shooters, sims, or builders. They took you to wonderful worlds with imaginative stories that made you think and see life in much different ways. She put on the VR head set, and started his newest game; the file, “TRON by Kevin Flynn.”
