I can relate though!
I routinely make little doodads do things that could be done with a dedicated chinese widget at a fraction of the cost, but part of the fun and satisfaction is in the making - you can't buy that sort of gratification, but you can end up paying a little more for it.

I have a nasty beastie of a laptop. 13th gen i9 HX, with a 4090m GPU. 32GB main DDR5 RAM, 16GB of DDR6 GPU RAM
I haven't opened it in over a month, other than the other day when I was reminded to renew the warranty or lose it. (I renewed, added accidental damage protection)
It's primarily to game at my sister's house when I visit, and for that it works great, but I thought it would serve a side use at my desk, and it just has never really lived up except when I want to play Fallout 4 on the side. (240Hz screen makes it my preferred games masheen)
One of the reasons I got the GPU I did was to play around with AI tech, but also I've never really found much use.
It's useful enough that I don't want to sell it, but I'm not using enough to feel like I'm getting what I paid for by a long shot.
I don't know a lot about AI, and I'm kind of averse to LLMs for coding, but I have a feeling that's just me being crotchety. I know LLMs get code wrong a lot, but it's not like I can't verify what it produces.
Most of the time though, when I think it could help, I have a hard enough time asking a human my problem, much less a machine.
Questions like this seem like they'd take over an hour of prompting to get anything usable back out, but maybe I'm being unrealistic. After all, I know so little about this stuff.

Anyway my point is that I'm amenable to using this machine for AI endeavors but I'm not sure where to begin in terms of having something useful at hand.

Not really. I was thinking of something more personally utilitarian.

I am the current the recipient of a purring shoulder kitten. She's about a year old, and not getting any lighter. She's very distracting basically draped over me like a scarf. It makes it difficult to focus and code.

They also have a "variable mass" system where they can get heavier at will - normally when they are both most comfortable and putting maximum stress on your joints.

Nah, they find dismembered bodies. Different skill set.
