Follow up at ophthalmology, some eye injections for my trouble (I have a little inflammation in my bad eye that just won't quit). They're painless really, but your body certainly lets you know you've been stabbed in the eye.

"It is not the case that “AI gathers data from the Web and learns from it.” The reality is that AI companies gather data and then optimize models to reproduce representations of that data for profit."
"The productivity myth suggests that anything we spend time on is up for automation — that any time we spend can and should be freed up for the sake of having even more time for other activities or pursuits — which can also be automated."
