The most fun I have had with a computer in decades – AI Art! I haven’t figured out all I need to know about the MidJourney beta that runs on Discord. But that is where I started after lunch today. The Old Woman Lost in Cyberspace was generated by the “big” version. Then I switched to a lighter version that runs on the iPad as a very early beta. The surfer cat and wine scene were generated by that app. Lots to learn.
I had been meaning to try AI Art for some months now. Today seemed like a great day to try it out. This is just pure fun.
Back at setting the woods on fire.
Not at all satisfied by the official answer to my question about the legality or even correctness of asking the residents: “Do you have close contact with any person infected with HIV?” The official answer seems to be a variation of “Just following orders”. No reason to fight this battle today because there isn’t anyone to fight on the weekend.
We have zero cases of covid among the staff and one case among the residents. And we still have to wear masks. Never mind that many of the residents use their masks like chin straps. Or take them off because they can not stand them anymore. This is the official Asylum position on masks:
Local health authorities are reviewing the CDC recommendations and will provide guidance on implementing them in our setting. As both Fairfax and Alexandria continue to have high community transmission levels, we are awaiting this guidance before we update our protocols. We anticipate publishing updated protocols the week of October 10.
It will be very interesting if management keeps the mandatory mask rule in place. The mask thing doesn’t bother me very much. But, it is a major issue for many. I think it is because I don’t really participate in many Asylum activities. So, I only put on my mask to go the breakfast or dinner or to leave the building. Most people go to the gym, take art classes, attend meetings, watch movies, play poker, etc. So, they spend hours every day masked. And, in 3 weeks I’ll be going to Kona.
