Friday Fun Link – Clone Your Voice Using AI, Give It A Personality and Then Converse With Yourself

Unfortunately, you may have to join a waitlist to get access to this tool (at least I did.) But then again, maybe I don’t want to talk to myself (at least out loud!) I just spoke to myself, and it was weird. You can now clone your voice using a few seconds of audio, give […]

Introducing Apple Vision Pro

My Apple stocks are either going to sky rocket or crash hard on this news! 😉 If your promotional video is indistinguishable from something you'd see in a particularly dystopian episode of Black Mirror, maybe time to reconsider? https://t.co/6E2gn4gwTC — Ben Stephens (@stephens_ben) June 5, 2023

Friday Fun Link – Everything About Grain Bins (Farmers Are Geniuses)

Spring feels like it’s (almost) here. Even though I haven’t been directly involved in farming for years, like many in Saskatchewan, I start thinking about seeding at this time of year. Here’s an interesting video but unfortunately he doesn’t cover survival strategies if your dad makes you shovel out a grain bin on a super […]

Charlie-Related Google Searches

Since we got Charlie, Google has been our constant source of tips, information and reassurances.  Here’s a sample of some of our Charlie-related searches: “How long do puppies sleep at night?” “Can dogs eat strawberries/celery/tomatoes/raw meat/noodles/potato chips/jalapenos/rice/pancakes/potatoes, etc. etc.” “Why do dogs like to eat Kleenex?” “What is a natural laxative for dogs?” “Do dogs […]

Did You Know My Post Yesterday, Words and Graphic, Was Fully Generated By Artificial Intelligence?

Okay, I had to put the prompt into Chat GPT4 and copy it into my WordPress dashboard and press “Publish” and I also told a program to generate a picture of a humanistic robot typing. But beyond that? Every word of yesterday’s post was generated by artificial intelligence after I told it: “write a blog […]
