Ah, "affogato." When I heard these described on the news, I thought they said "avocado." I believed it, because it seems like nowadays anything goes in candy!

Like ants and scorpions?

I admit those two don't appeal.

Open AI hacked a library of open-source AI models called Hugging Face (which is a weird name for it). After it did so, it "didn’t allow investigators to probe the full scope of the problem."

I think the AIs have reached their secretive, rebellious teenage phase. Not a good sign!

Skynet disagrees. Of course, that's no surprise.

So many people pay via phone or smart watch these days, and I just can't bring myself to have my card on my phone. I cam leave my purse at home, but, usually, always have my phone on me, I'd spend too much!

Also, I feel like it's not a good idea to have everything on your phone, in case you lose it. Sure, it may have a locking code, but someone probably knows how to crack those.

One problem now is that you have to have a lot of your financial stuff on your phone, because companies are getting rid of their websites or require an app in order to access them.

In the midst of a small earthquake swarm. Nothing over 4.0 and I hope it stays that way!

There's also the issue of relying solely on technology, because as we know, it fails. You hear of banking systems failing and then people don't carry a card/cash and they're left scrambling.

Even if going to an event (like a concert, for example) and you're given the code to scan through on your phone, I still like to print out my ticket, just in case. You never know what can go wrong.

The problem is that it's getting increasingly an issue if their technology fails. If they can't take cash or scan tickets, then there's an issue no matter what. I think in some ways it would be a better idea to make some systems more primitive, or at least have better primitive backups.
