No Sleep All-Nighter Dawn New Year’s Eve Selfie Heading Go New York New Year’s - IMRAN™

All my life I have been a late night person. When it gets very late at night, and I have to be awake very early the next morning, I find it easier to just keep going for a full 36 hours.

Having to do this after a long 2-day drive from New York to Florida, then having to head back there for a dawn flight on New Year’s Eve Day made it a little tougher.

But, eternally grateful to the Almighty, I managed to get New York City on New Year’s Eve. It marked the start of my 36th Happy New Year as a grateful American.

How do you handle all-nighter situations?

D&D: Facebook AI Wants To Be Dumber Than Dumb Apple “Intelligence” - IMRAN™

I know ChatGPT & Copilot are not perfect. No AI is. Yet. But some are worse than others.

As if to prove it is dumber than so-called Apple Intelligence branding (see earlier post for examples I posted), here’s Facebook’s “AI” trying to be “clever” and “helpful”.

It thinks years mentioned in a comment are phone numbers — just because there’s a hyphen in there.

That’s Just-Plain-Dumb & Dumber-By-The-Number. 😂

I ❤️ NY! Manhattan, Empire State Building, UN, NYC On NYE On 37 Years Anniversary Of Xmas 1987 Arrival - IMRAN™

Manhattan — my forever American hometown since I first arrived in autumn 1987. I had then visited Canada, and returned for Christmas & New Year winter holidays shopping 37 years ago.

Marking that new chapter in my life, I flew into NYC on NYE December 31, 2024 to kickoff 2025. My personal symbols, the twin towers of the original World Trade Center are long gone. But the Empire State Building, midtown, and other landmarks — captured through the window of a Delta flight from TPA to LGA — have been my home for nearly 4 decades.
