On how the search for AI is the pursuit of a myth. There is no 'there' there but the search itself will cause so much damage.

AI, The Digital El Dorado

I have come to the conclusion that the search for Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) is a modern quest for a mythical solution with no…

So are you a "Watch it to the bitter end" fan or a "Eh, I've got better things to do" kind of fan?

I'm the latter. Going to read a book now.

All this white panel hype made me realize that the Jays should wear the Canada Day caps on July 1 but with a white panel and it would look just like their own version of the Canadian flag. That would rule. 🇨🇦 @bluejays.com

Ironically, the easiest job an LLM AI could replace right now is being a tech-bro CEO bullshitter. And it could probably do it better.

Except I'm wrong - this view *just* catches the edge of the newly-discovered continent of ZEALANDIA: population 5.4 million, with only New Zealand, New Caledonia, Norfolk Island & Lord Howe Island now above sea level - just 5% of the original 4.9m square km (making it 64% the size of Australia).

Who do Canadians regard as an “enemy”? This comes from a new Angus Reid report on India, but get a look at the redder end of that list

(Red = enemy/threat; pink = maybe so)

Yup.

I don't like having to consider going to work the next day either.

Enjoy the meal, have a day to recover if needed.

Mariners are a nemesis team, like the Royals. It's just not quite normal playing them for some reason.

Catelli @catelli.bsky.social · 1d

I was worried the Mariners wouldn't be as tired as they should be.

I recall another game like this, where the Jays shoulda walked all over a tired team and just couldn't do it.

Guelph doing urban infill the right way, turning what was a drab surface parking lot into the site of its new central library. This project is decades in the making and the real life scale feels larger than it did in renderings. An exciting time for their downtown.

Library seen from the north side, it forms a bit of an L shape here at the moment

One side of the library building construction site. Most concrete work is done on the first few floors.

The south side of the new Guelph central library. The length is sizeable - it takes up most of this small block it sits behind.

But it's more fun because we have to "talk to our doctor" to find out why this medication is all sunshine and rainbows.

Hallucinogenic stimulant? ED? Hemorrhoid itch? Who knows? It's a mystery!
