the disk didn't fill, I didn't patch... it just... stopped.
 
apologies?
rebooted and seems to work
 

No apology necessary; you spend your irreplaceable time on
this, so everyone is, or should be, grateful for that.
 
As for the glitch, it's a computer; glitches are still
endemic to the breed. 'Nuff said.
 

It still seems wonky.
 

Of course; as noted, wonky/glitchy/whatever is endemic to
computers, one of the main reasons I distrust the current
"AI" (it's not, it's an expert system with the bias of the
programmer inbuilt) and self-driving cars. Neither, IMHO, is
ready for prime time.

I used ChatGPT once as a query for content of the book The Daughter of
Doctor Moreau by Silvia Moreno-Garcia. It spit back content from The
Madman's Daughter by Megan Shepherd. Oops.

Using Canva’s AI feature can be comical in results. I wanted it to generate
a Cylon in a lawn chair reading a book which it did pretty good on though a
few results looked more like Mandalorians. When asked to render an octopus
in a beach scene it fused some limbs together and had severed limbs
scattered across the beach sand. It sucked at doing given words on
graphical displays.

Still much better than a Cybertruck in real life. Who drives those? A Tesla
Plaid I could understand from a muscle car perspective but forget one of
those beasts in self drive mode given the insane acceleration.
