Years ago I met a man who made an amazing graphic novel with dinosaurs explaining misinformation that was supposed to be for kids. He showed it to me and I stood there in the middle of the convention space and read every page. I am furious that it didn't become a bestseller. Was it even published?

MEANWHILE, in Canada, meet Brady Rogers, the reluctant politician who's fed up and thinks he can do better. His sign says "I barely want to do this." His website says, "I guess I'm running for Kelowna city council." His business? Recycling plastic into cool things.

Hi, I’m Brady.
Do I enjoy politics? No.

Do I know what I’m doing? No.

But am I qualified? Also no.

I was born in Williams Lake and raised in Kelowna since I was 10. These are the streets I biked every day, the cars I threw crab apples at (sorry), and the parks I played in. Seeing this city grow has been cool, but with growth has come a whole new spectrum of challenges. Running for council is the last thing I saw myself doing this year. I don’t like meetings, I don’t like having to be certain places at certain times, and I’m allergic to stuffy offices. But unfortunately, I happen to like Kelowna, and think I can help do some good.

I guess I’m running for Kelowna city council.
Support the campaign

I graduated from UBCO in 2015ish (long story) and worked for 4 years as a robotic automation engineer. As cool as the job was, it was soulless, and I wanted to use my abilities for more than just helping huge companies save money.

Since 2019, I’ve been building The Rogerie.
Starting as a farmers market booth beside the mall, my wife and I began turning plastic waste into new products in our laundry room. Seven painful years later, and we have a pretty awesome shop downtown by Sprout (come check it out!) where you’ll find me just about every day.

NEW: According to a bombshell report in the New York Times, Anthropic co-founder Chris Olah threatened to walk out of Pope Leo XIV's Al encyclical launch in May because the pope rejected the idea that machines can be conscious.
Olah's team then privately lobbied the pope's advisers "to take the possibility of model consciousness seriously." Pope Leo XIV held firm.
For months, Anthropic has wined and dined theologians and religious scholars under nondisclosure agreements, hoping they would bless the idea that Claude has moral standing.

Life-changing French toast hack. In case I ever get to eat wheat again. Dissolve cinnamon in vanilla, because it dissolves in alcohol but not eggs/milk. 🍽️🍜

Cinnamon is insoluable in water, but soluable in alcohol. So when making French toast, first put a tablespoon or so of vanilla extract in a bow, then add a tablespoon of cinnamon, and stir. The cinnamon will dissolve into the alcohol, and you can then add it to the eggs and milk, and you won't have clumps of cinnamon floating aroun and the toast will be seasoned better. - #IGFacts

I just need to talk about how utterly grim that top comment is. If you truly are at a point where some computer is making you feel that it knows your tastes better than anyone around you. Then you need to find other people to talk to. This isn’t even about just music. This is raw human …

Three posts each one commenting on the one below it Text of them reads as follows
claude actually recommends better music to me and more aligned with my taste than basically any human or other algo does. idk what to tell you, hyper personalization is pretty good actually.

Asked about AI, Prof Saffron O'Neill said that they published a paper based on a study where they asked AI to create visuals for media and none of it was useful. They were all clichés. The speakers and audience appear quite skeptical of the potential contribution of AI.

Jennifer Hale once told me Canadians need to champion ourselves more. I wholeheartedly agree. Over the past few months, I reached out to dozens of Canadian devs to learn their favourite Canadian games. Their varied responses offer a wonderful spotlight on some of the incredible talent we have here.🍁

These are must-play Canadian games, according to Canadian devs

As Canadians, we don't champion ourselves enough, so we asked dozens of game developers to do just that.

AP Stylebook warns against anthropomorphizing AI systems: “Avoid language that gives them human characteristics… Instead, explain what a system does, how well it performs, who built it and who could be affected by it.”

APStylebook @APStylebook
X.com
Artificial intelligence systems do not think, feel, want or understand. Avoid language that gives them human characteristics. This is called anthropomorphizing, when we ascribe human traits, emotions or behaviors to non-human things, such as animals or inanimate objects.
Instead, explain what a system does, how well it performs, who built it and who could be affected by it.

Pompeii is a UNESCO world heritage site not because it was remarkable in its prime, but because it survived to our era untouched: one moment, preserved for all time. But future generations won't know what OUR world was like unless we do the same. This is why we MUST bury Toronto with a volcano
