¶I did have one slowdown along the way, about an hour outside of Boston. It’s always interesting, and a little disturbing, to get a closer look at things on the shoulder of the expressway. Things you typically never notice (or can’t notice) when zooming by at seventy miles an hour. I noticed several things during my 20-30 minute delay — tires, bottles, random metal car parts, shoes (seriously), and vape cartridges, to list a few.
¶I took this picture mainly because I couldn’t confirm the identity of this coily thing without the aid of pinching to zoom on my phone.
¶Yep - it’s a dead snake.

¶Prior to Johannson’s statement, Open AI made this claim in a post Sunday: “We believe that AI voices should not deliberately mimic a celebrity’s distinctive voice—Sky’s voice is not an imitation of Scarlett Johansson but belongs to a different professional actress using her own natural speaking voice.”
¶They left out the part where they intentionally selected the actress who had a voice that sounds just like Johannson’s.
