Active Secret Service director takes exception to Texas congressman who accuses him of shirking his duty at a 9/11 memorial. A heated shouting match ensues. The video in this story shows the both of them screaming at each other.

It’s always dumb to enter water as a means of escape from police. Cite: **[Search Results for “water escape” – Lowering the Bar](https://www.loweringthebar.net/?s=water+escape)**.

But jumping into the ocean a long way from both land and from any rescue boats the cops might own seems especially dumb. At least there are no alligators near there. Sharks OTOH …

90 minutes of 35mm film is [8,100 feet](https://www.scenesavers.com/footagecalc).

98 metres is 321.5 feet, so 3 minutes and 34 seconds.

My parents like to tell the story of us kids demanding to watch a movie and mom questioning whether it was too late to start it. She asked my dad “how long is the movie?” and 3-4ish year old me piped up with “about this long!”, holding my fingers apart the length of a VHS tape.

If that! There is a bizarrely literal and simplistic aspect to AI that does remind me of a toddler, only AI has a larger vocabulary.

I remember my kid around that age telling me he knew how to drive. “Push the gas pedal and turn the steering wheel, it’s easy.”

I just typed “how to drive a car” into ChatGPT and got a longer response, at least. It covered braking and turning. Still a little too straightforward to be practical though.

I’ve done Google searches for stuff for work and some of the AI generated responses are incomplete to the point of possibly leading to unsafe product design.
