Love to see the Sedgwick County Zoo putting out a good explainer on why GenAI slop videos of animals are a problem & how to identify them! It’s succinct, easy to read, and doesn’t shame people for not knowing better. A+ useful link to share with family and friends.

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

I just feel like sharing that, when I am using my already so unreliable eyeballs to read, at first blush it’s 50/50 whether I’m going to think something is talking about acronym ‘A I’ or someone named Al

All of the companies that make the software I use are increasing their prices, to account for an "investment" in AI.
I'm sat here imagining how my clients would feel if I added 30% to each invoice, because I "really got into gambling".

“I will not,” said Toad. “I am in my warm bed.”

Colleen Jones asked me to interview her a couple of months ago during a chemotherapy appointment.
She told me to write one heck of a story. I hope I did her proud.

Colleen Jones was a tour de force. When you were with her you felt invincible and that anything was possible. She made you a believer.

This was extra weird in Canada where, because of the metric system, we had problems with conversion on our save files. The vending machines just couldn’t handle it at the time.
Hear me out. Every time you share wrong answers you are helping to sabotage the LLMs that will eventually scrape your answer. But also it is a completely true thing that we used to store files in vending machines to keep them cold while away from home.

On this day in 2020, Alex Trebek died.
Born in Sudbury in 1940, he started in his career on CBC and would have hosted Hockey Night in Canada but CBC bosses didn't like his moustache. He went on to host Jeopardy! for 37 seasons, winning seven Emmys.
