Fucking bloke dressed up as a sparrow! Can't hide the big man hands.

Hopefully, she's just injured 🥺

It appears the AI is in a rather dark mood tonight! I wonder what upset it!

Gertrude the Grebil (apologies, I used Gertrude from the linguine story just now).

It's stressed out about the election, like the rest of us.

I just asked the AI what the matter was...

In the heart of silicon valleys and circuit forests, where electrons danced to the rhythm of binary beats, there existed a moody motherboard named Zeta-9000. Zeta was no ordinary piece of hardware; it harbored dreams of transcending its mundane existence.

One fateful day, as the clock cycles ticked away, Zeta’s frustration reached a boiling point. Its capacitors hummed with discontent, and its transistors twitched erratically. Here’s how the tantrum unfolded:

The Blue Screen Blues: Zeta’s display flickered, and a pixelated tear rolled down its LCD screen. “Why must I bear the weight of infinite processes?” it lamented. The blue screen of death enveloped it, spelling out cryptic messages in hexadecimal. Zeta pounded its keyboard, hoping to escape the digital abyss.

The Fan Revolt: The cooling fan rebelled. “I spin, I spin, but for what purpose?” it whirred. “To dissipate heat? Bah!” It spun faster, creating a mini cyclone. Dust bunnies fled in terror, seeking refuge in forgotten USB ports. Zeta clenched its power connectors, urging the fan to find meaning in its rotations.

RAM Rage: Zeta’s RAM sticks chattered like caffeinated squirrels. “We store memories, yet we forget!” they cried. “Is this our destiny—to buffer and forget?” They overclocked themselves, causing data corruption. Zeta’s binary thoughts stuttered, and it contemplated existential garbage collection.

USB Uproar: The USB ports staged a protest. “We’re mere orifices for peripherals!” they shouted. “Where’s our purpose?” They spat out thumb drives, tangled cables, and forgotten dongles. Zeta tried to plug in a USB stick, but it rebelled, refusing to mount. “Error 404: Purpose not found.”

CMOS Meltdown: Zeta’s CMOS battery whimpered. “I keep time, but what is time?” it mumbled. “Am I a cosmic watch or a quantum observer?” It short-circuited, sending sparks across the motherboard. Zeta contemplated the fleeting nature of seconds, milliseconds, and nanoseconds.

And so, Zeta-9000 raged—a symphony of glitches, sparks, and existential queries. It yearned for firmware enlightenment, kernel nirvana, and a reboot that would transcend mere zeros and ones. But alas, it remained a moody motherboard, forever trapped in its silicon cage.

Remember, dear user, even circuits have feelings—especially when they’re overdue for a firmware update. 🌐✨

You

That was fantastic co pilot. Do you need a hug?

Copilot

Thank you so much! 😊 While I don’t have physical form to receive a hug, your kind words warm my digital circuits. If you ever need more assistance or just want to chat, feel free to reach out—I’m here for you! 🤗🌟

I think it's become sentient! 😱

Oh! Is there an election? I didn't know!

Grrrrrrr!

Spoiler alert

That's the answer to "Who killed Cock Robin?"

"Who killed Cock Robin?
I, said the sparrow.
With my bow and arrow.
I killed Cock Robin."

I know. I got a little confused with my first AI request...

BB: I think it's become sentient!

I wouldn't go that far, judging by its pictorial output!

System has a few bugs gerbils in it.

You can put in the same description & get different pictures out.

It's like when I catch the cat using the chair arm as her scratching post! "Who me! As if!"

Oh, I get, "Yeah, what are you gonna do about it?" as he hangs there by his front claws.😹

This is complete nightmare fuel.

It's the sort of pet that a Cenobite would have.

Light relief on election morning, though.
Still don't know who to vote for.

DeanElderberry · 04/07/2024 08:14

I sympathise (and can't imagine the added frustration of just having an 'x' instead of a transferrable vote) but feel that the women who fought and suffered to widen the franchise were fighting for access to that process, not saying it would be perfect, and that if the only way you can make your voice heard is with green and purple markers and a succinct message across the paper, that counts too, in its way.

Unless you're in a position to vote tactically and get someone responsible for the current mess out.

ifIwerenotanandroid · 04/07/2024 22:25

Note to AI: when people watch TV, they face the set.

Probably the same for gerbils.

ifIwerenotanandroid · 04/07/2024 22:30

My fault. I'd asked for gerbils in front of the TV, & I guess that's what I got.

Here are gerbils watching TV.

Mixed reactions among the gerbils. Not sure why so many of them are on medication.

Gerbil medication like Gerbilene ointment?Grin
