🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉Ontie had a wild animal break into her house this past week, and one of Antie Joan’s friends had a bear just mosey on up to her driveway. Just another day in Paradise. Both Aunties stretched their creative wings and took a couple workshops. One was Pour Your Own Epoxy, where we made charcuterie boards, and the other was Paint Your Pets. Antie Joan tuned into 60 Minutes and saw the episode about AI Labelers. It was a real eye-opener to find out how information gets into the AI brain. Antie Joan also read “The Life of Chuck,” which prompted a discussion about what would we all do if the day came where there was no more Internet.Now we invite you to sit back, relax and enjoy!🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉Links from the Episode:Raw Sugar Hand Soap - AmazonPsychic Soul MatesBonsai BarThe Louisville UndergroundQuestion for the Aunties?
