Maddening.
We’re getting f*## at both ends by counterfeit products, and Amazon and Wallmart continue to sell these terrible fakes.
Enjoying our growing pains at www.Yetch.Studio.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

Good man!
Colorado is opening our arms to celebrate the historic, economic and cultural bilateral friendship with Canada. We stand against tariffs and for even stronger ties built on trust and respect between our two great nations.

On this day in 1971, Chief Dan George Day was declared in Vancouver.
In his life he was an activist, chief, poet and Oscar-nominated actor.

This truly feels like a historic moment in a chain of historic moments as of late. This one, however, is giving me hope.

A piece of the CBC appeasement puzzle that’s not talked about enough: the role of media in democracies as defenders of democratic freedoms. Journalism is not valueless. In democracies is it underpinned by a commitment to democracy, itself. It’s not “biased” to vigorously defend it. It is essential.
