NASA is planning to host a live Twitch stream next week from the International Space Station (ISS). "The stream, which takes place on February 12th at 11:45AM ET on NASA's Twitch channel, will feature Don Pettit, an astronaut currently on the ISS, and Matt Dominick, who returned to Earth from the ISS in October," reports The Verge. From the report: The astronauts will discuss "daily life aboard the space station and the research conducted in microgravity" and viewers will be able to ask them questions, according to a blog post. "This Twitch event from space is the first of many," Brittany Brown, director of the Office of Communications Digital and Technology Division at NASA Headquarters in Washington, says in the post.

I have a feeling we're going to be seeing a lot of AI WTFerry at this site for a while, and fewer stupid online sales copy booboos. For today, here we go:

Jet-setter Stewart wants to sell a pound, but he's going to have to cover some ground first. "Looks like Google are trying very hard to encourage me to stop using their search engine. Perhaps they want me to use chatGPT? I just can't fathom how it got this so wrong."

 

Tim R. proves that AIs aren't immune to the general flubstitution error category either. "I'm not quite sure what's going on here - there were 5 categories each with the same [insert content here] placeholder. Maybe the outer text is not AI generated and the developers forgot to actually call the AI, or maybe the AI has been trained on so much placeholder source code it thought it was generating what I wanted to see."

 

"Crazy Comcast Calendar Corruption!" complains B.J.H. "No wonder I didn't get birthday gifts -- my birth month has been sloughed away. But they still charged me for the months that don't exist." Hey, they only charged you for 12 months at least. Maybe they just picked twelve at random.

 

Educator Manuel H. "Publishing a session recording in [open-source] BigBlueButton seems to be a task for logicians: Should it be public, or protected, or both? Or should it rather be published instead of public? Or better not published at all?"
