Saw something new today on the freeway. On both WB & EB approaches to Vacaville on I-80: there are now stay in your lane signs, curve signs, & ALL lanes are separated by a solid white line for a short distance. Not sure if this is temporary as a part of the managed lanes construction project or a permanent measure.

Found a cute supply store, Every Baking Moment, in . They never came up under Yelp search for places in or ; categorized under cooking school and hobby shop instead. I let them know so that more people could find them. Previously I loved Spun Sugar in but they went out of business. :( Big box craft/hobby stores don’t really have variety these days. This place had it all and I got to explore backroads & a quaint downtown. :)

The mystery company buying up land around #TravisAFB turned out to be laying plans for a new city. They put up a website called California Forever. #kqedforum had a segment on this with the CEO & Fairfield Mayor. https://www.kqed.org/forum/2010101894493/utopia-or-sprawl-tech-group-pushes-plans-for-new-solano-county-city #SFBA #SolanoCounty #Fairfield

remember those headlines like "mystery company buys 800 acres of northern california!"

well the buyers finally put up a website and y'all...it has AI-generated art!!! they couldn't even pay an artist.

also, how about this creepy url? https://californiaforever.com/

how can i tell that the art is AI? look at the details:

pic 1: person in upper left. which way is he facing? where's his right arm? is his left arm facing backwards? also, look at the lines on the "solar panels". some are narrow, some are wide, it makes no sense.

pic 2: look at the details of the people's bodies and faces. if you're having trouble figuring out their body parts, that's because they were generated by AI & AI doesn't actually know the details.

pic 3: seems ok, until you look in the background and realize the train is coming out of a "tunnel" in a building. probably not what they had in mind.

pic 4: what exactly are those workers building? i couldn't figure it out. AI is good at giving the impression of people working on something, but if you look at what those people are actually doing, it often doesn't make sense. also, i love the yellow "ladder" on the left.

After eight months of investigation, government officials have been unable to identify who's behind it and rule out any threat to national security.
