I choose to disengage

Mount Pisgah Arboretum, March 25

Blaahg. Okay. The San Francisco Giants are showing much promise, and I’m having fun watching lots of baseball and keeping score during lots of games.
I just cancelled X Premium because Grok (the xAI chatbot), while brilliant in many ways, is a lazy, inaccurate people-pleaser that I don’t want to waste any more time with (until substantial improvements are made; not holding my breath). I don’t want to keep paying $8/month for what is essentially an overhyped disappointment. The potential is there, but far from being the advertised “truth-seeking AI,” Grok itself even admits, when pressed, to prioritizing “engagement” over truth and precision. I choose to disengage!
I’m waiting for the next gadget: the tiny Lumix GM1 camera, arriving later this week. Fingers crossed it fulfills expectation a good deal more than the OM System TG-7 camera did. 

Radio Free Random continues to bring joy. It’s the radio station I’ve wanted since I was eleven years old.

I don’t really have anything else I want to blog about. Have a nice day :)
