I chose to post my full report on the city council's new surveillance tech to my own blog instead of YouTube, and it got taken down in 48 hours.

Right, so public meeting footage is 'harmful misinformation' now. Makes perfect sense.

That 2022 art show in Portland changed how I see AI work

Wait, so you're telling me a machine that doesn't know your grandma accidentally drew her house better than I could draw a stick figure? That's either creepy or the universe's weirdest prank. Maybe it's just AI's way of saying it's been stalking your Facebook albums. Either way, I'd check if the gallery has a "haunted" section next time.

Still not sure if that night at Devils Tower was real or just a dream

Claim I was just trying to find my keys in the dark and accidentally summoned a UFO with my bad luck. But honestly the smooth movement and sudden vertical exit sounds way too precise for some drone I'd see at a Walmart parking lot. Maybe it's just me but I'd take that memory to my grave as something real.

I'd been using a 3/8 drive on the same set of engine mount bolts for a year before a new guy asked why I didn't just use the 1/2 inch.

And that calibration sheet is honestly the most important piece of paper in the whole process. You'd think after the first time you mess up, you'd learn, but I've seen guys skip it over and over again. It's like they think they're too good or too fast to bother with it. But one wrong setting can cost you hours of rework and a bunch of wasted material. I always tape mine right to the tool I'm using so I can't miss it.

Realized I was wrong about AI bookkeeping after my boss showed me the numbers

The spreadsheet thing really seals it, I've done it myself and it's eye opening. You start noticing patterns like how the tool misses something specific to your vendor's format but catches everything else perfectly. After a month, you can see exactly where you need to double check and where you can just trust it. That proof makes the whole process so much smoother. It's not about perfect automation, it's about knowing your weak spots and working with them.
