@google-maps.bsky.social Stop using Trump’s new name for Lake Ontario. It’s beneath your dignity. Or at least: Drop the Lake America to below the international boundary. Label the top half Lake Ontario. The world knows what it’s been called for 400+ years.

An absolute stunner of a piece by Ted Chiang in The Atlantic. This should (but probably won’t) be the final word on the subject. #AI 🤖 www.theatlantic.com/philosophy/2...

No, Artificial Intelligence Is Not Conscious

Taken to its logical conclusion, this line of thinking is absurd—and damning.

I think you need to see this today. An antidote to madness everywhere: forests and waterfalls.

A waterfall topped by a tree with orange leaves, against a bright blue sky.

Time lapse of a waterfall descending a shale cliff face on an autumn morning.

A smaller waterfall cascading down a ravine with bright green and gold trees.

Warm golden sun filtering into a steep ravine under autumnal trees. Gold. Green. Shadows.

Mini vacation in my home town. Coffee, pastries and a visit to Lake Ontario. Spent an hour watching clouds and the blue sky. Perfect luxury.

Paddle boarders, seated, paddle against the wind under a blue sky.

A sailboat floats past the trees on a lake.

Sunlit clouds scuttle eastwards high above the lake.

On a rocky shore, sunlight falls between the passing shadows of clouds, at the edge of the lake.

PS to the Trump administration's great patriotic war on girls' dolls and pencils: notice how "unnecessary foreign luxuries" are female-coded. An outboard motor is crammed with Chinese components, but try to imagine Trump asking, "Do Americans really need to own personal boats?"
