I havenât seen downsizing. I will have to check it out.
I donât feel bad. Life is good but not funny at the moment. Just quiet around here.

Pieces of your tree blowing down onto your drivewayâŚthatâs quiet? 
We have some decent thunderstorms here. I spent more time than I intended recently cutting some broken and dead branches out of a tree.
I can understand not feeling bad but not finding things funny occasionally, and I recognize that sometimes people get âthe blahsâ or whatever. Iâm just hoping this isnât something like anhedonia, which can be a more significant issue.
I know itâs none of my business.

Just one of many palm fronds that fall during the day. Although, some Royal Palms can damage a car.
In Downsizing they said, âLetâs get smallâ. Wasnât that a Cheech and Chong joke?
No problem with pleasure. I just enjoyed a nice steak cooked on the grill. Life is good. Guess I should watch a comedy. I am happy and content. Just donât feel like laughing, at the moment.

I was thinking Steve Martin, and then I looked it up. I think one of my friends had that album when I was younger.
I believe it about the car damage. No wonder you keep your leases in the garage.
's good, especially when grilled outdoors. Iâm glad youâre able to enjoy that. I just watched The Penguin Lessons and laughed a few times during that.

Maybe you are right. I think I remember now.
The steak and baked (microwaved) potato with lots of butter tasted great.
I enjoy the garage. Cars last longer and itâs nice to drive into a nice, dry garage during the rain storm. It is also very protective during a hurricane. During Halloween, people donât knock on my door. They believe I must be out. All of my neighbors have too much junk in their garage. They store $1500 of junk and leave an expensive car outside.
Just finished watching âDownsizingâ. I found it wasnât a comedy after all.

Itâs been a few years since Iâve seen it. My recollection is that it had a much more serious tone than I expected going in, and it did have some funny moments that made me laugh aloud. I enjoyed it.

The filmmaker bears a passing resemblance to the younger of the Boston Marathon 
s. 
He was teed-up to get whooped by mee-tooerâs but deftly sidestepped it. 
He originally intended to be a journalist. 
Such a lovely girl on the beach talking about her Wyze Bulb Cam. Nice video.

You just made her say my name to make sure I watched the video? I almost didnât press play because I am kind of busy and pressed for time, but was curious how good the AI voice would be for this. Iâve found some that are surprisingly realistic in their inflection and intonation. Then once I sampled the audio I almost stopped it and went back to work but decided it couldnât hurt to see if you made it say something funny and then got a shock when she said my name too. lol

Itâs good that we have a very special thread to sequester these very special things in. One is loathe to consider the consequences were they allowed to circulate freely. 
Thank you for being a good citizen, comrade @ssummerlin.

Give me a few seconds of your voice on audio and Iâll show you something youâre loathe to consider. 
Weâll have an iconic talking frog AI in your voice acting very peepeepishly.
Maybe what we need to do is export all your forum comments into an AI, then tell an AI to respond to things in the way peepeep would.
I actually tested this out on myself. I expected all my forum content⌠Which is a lot⌠Then because the file was too big, I deleted all the markup texts and just kept the unformatted text, And then I sorted it to only include all of my comments that received at least four likes or something like that. Then I uploaded all of that into an AI (a privacy version), then had it do things like personality analysis is weaknesses, strengths, all sorts of cool things. Had it tell me about Wyze (good and bad) based on my comments. Even had it pretend to be me and answer certain new questions (which I did not publish or use). It was quite insightful, even about me and who I am.
Though to be fair, it didnât include all my comments nobody liked. My export was too big to include everything, so it was potentially a slanted view based on only 500-1000 pages of my top comments. But still an interesting Carverofchoice AI.
I then named the carverofchoice AI bot @Crease for obvious reasons (joking)

I suppose you might do this also to your wife, kids and (large) extended family? More manageable, data boy? 
What we need you to do is bend over and take the implant - plumb all the things you thought but didnât âsayâ - then redo.
If youâre gonna take it up the 
may as well be thorough.

Think I would rather have the smart tattoo on my forehead to show people I have been assimilated. Not a fan of penetration, however slight.
Sorry, other frog.

Meh, only took a few minutes. Downloaded the file, sorted by likes, selected the spot where 3 likes started, and deleted everything below it. Upload to Notebook LM. Done. Was not that long at all. I just did it during a break from work.
Helped me learn how to better use Notebook LM for other needs, including professional projects. I needed to understand the limitations for certain use cases. Made for a great test case.
