  • Yeah I agree there. The term “AI” is treated as if it were the coming of God and the solution to all (non)existing problems and who would dare question God when he looks into your face? (Provided you believe in God that is.) Which is a major part of the actually existing problem with that stuff.

    People already look at me funny when I call a smartphone my language’s equivalent of “mobile phone”. I always explain that well… it may be a phone among things, but it’s NOT smart. Yet somehow many seem to believe that because it has “smart” in it’s name it’s actually better, when actually it really heavily depends on what you want/need.


  • I wouldn’t lump all of AI together tbh. If it’s used to help doctors diagnose things (like early stage cancer or whatever) or used to better sort flashcards for you when you’re using those to learn something? What we call AI (I’m honestly kinda missing the “I” part everywhere) can be awesome there.

    The absolute garbage that should never have existed is this so-called “creative AI” that just regurgitates bits of previously stolen art.





  • I’m not exactly sure about what vacuum to recommend, as mine is rather old but still working, however I read your

    It must be able to deal with a lot of cat hair and litter

    as you using your vacuum to clean up cat litter boxes?

    If yes, I’d recommend looking into “Litter Locker”. The company behind it is Canadian afaik (took me a good while to find that info when I looked it up though… the website is absolutely not ideal there). It’s a smell-proof box where you can dump the dirty litter into, freeing up space in your vacuum amd allowing you to keep going for a while before having to throw it out. Should this be something for you, the requirements a vacuum has to meet definitely should go down or maybe your current one will still be fine then as you only mentioned suction power being too low for cat litter.
