They have arrested a man who apparently helped and supported the BC school shooter. If they can charge him, why can't they charge the makers of the Ai program she used to plan, especially since they failed to intervene? Isn't that aiding and abetting? Someone with law knowledge explain this to me.

This is why I can't leave SM/ Twitter. News about a French student whose hand was blown off by a grenade got reported wrong initially. At least one news outlet 1st said the kid picked it up when it got thrown and landed on him. Been debunked hours ago. But CTV is still going with "he picked it up".

Ha! The funniest thing just happened in Montréal at the CANMNT game. This person started singing O Canada in French and just completely blanked on the whole thing. Lost it at the third line and they had to go to instrumental. They're lucky they were not on camera. Unreal, hilarious scene.

It's almost like they've been pushing it on kids for their own bottom line benefit and not at all out of concern for the wellbeing and learning of students, eh? Who could've predicted this!?

Racists being treated like Medusa is a good thing. Ignore those idiots and keep on keeping on. Has the benefit of infuriating them and letting spiral in a corner while not achieving the objective of distracting you from your task.

You know, when I first started teaching 10 years ago, there were multiple instances where I was the very first person to teach student about Residential Schools. I certainly didn't truly learn of them until grad school. Now I'm seeing school children at TRC events. We have come some ways.

At the Parliament TRC ceremony, they just walked in a memorial cloth with names of children who never went home from residential schools and it too about 15 minutes for dozens of people to carry in a cloth multiple metres long (I'd guess at least 400 metres).

This is how I learn they adapted Ru!? Why did I not know this! What a disappointing day to be so terminally online. Am I going to have to watch the Canadian Screen Awards religiously? I definitely need to curate my timeline better.
Screen shot of the film Ru (2023) in a list on Netflix. A label identifies the movie as having earned a CSA.

Highly recommend these two books. Cosmos was a treat. Never whistle at night grabbed my immediate attention on the shelf because I grew up being told never to whistle at night too... Something I never grew up out of because I do not take chances with threats of snakes, tvm.

Just when I think I can’t hate OpenAI and Sam Altman any more, new details come out about how ChatGPT helped a shooter plan one of the worst mass shootings in Canadian history in Tumbler Ridge, BC. OpenAI made an explicit decision not to report the user to authorities.

We should be writing AI with a lowercase (Ai) I to avoid confusion with the names Al (short for Allen) and of course Iverson, as well as, and most importantly, to emphasize that the so-called intelligence is a fallacy and that artificial is the prominent component.

Yes, but he is thinking of the kids you know? The kids he writes his moderately tolerable songs for. The kids who will surely suffer if they don't get to hear him strum his guitar! Those kids.

Clark retrofitting Musk's "woke mind virus" to any concept that doesn't fit his mental model of AI research is a good example of the way that "AI" functions as a political project with bizarre ideological component.

I got my copy and I cannot express how much this book is fantastic! And sad. And exhilarating. And more to be discovered. Get it when you can! Like a choose your own adventure non-fiction. And what do you mean I'm encountering "wesh" and "pole [sana]" in one book? Dreams you didn't know you had.

Trying to simply find an image of women playing softball in the 1960s and this wild image of "Wilt Chamberlain in Softball Game with Young Women" shows up...
Original Caption: New York: Pretty As A Pitcher. A figure familiar to basketball fans, Wilt "The Stilt" Chamberlain, stoops to conquer as he prepares to display his skill on the baseball diamond. The pitcher, whose long, lovely legs frame the hoop star, is Carol Hodecker. The cute blonde catcher is Charlotte Kirsten, who came to the U. S., from West Berlin six years ago. Both gals are "Bunnies" (hostesses) from the Playboy Club. Wilt met them as they were warming up in a Central Park field for a game with show girls from a Broadway musical in the Broadway Show League series. Wilt never had such glamorous opponents on the basketball court! He now plays with the San Francisco Warriors.

Zheng came down from 5-0 in the first set to win 7 in a row (yes, seven in a row) and then take the second set 6-3. Unreal scenes! (In this age of betting I just can't trust this magic. Makes no sense.)
