No one's travelling to the US anyways.
The Government of Canada having foreign travel advisories for "exercise high degree of caution" for most of Western Europe, but still keeping the USA in full green, is insane.

People want to believe that the "AI" of movies and television is here. Companies are glomming onto that bc they can sell shit more easily. Consumer facing (that's important to qualify) AI is glorified auto-complete. That's it.

The way the press is treating chatbots, like they have agency and they “know” things all of a sudden, crossed the line recently from dumb and obsequious to something else entirely. Treating them as alive and making conscious decisions is an almost religious belief. It won’t age well.

Yeah also Sati, you're not winning over anyone using phrases like "cognitive amplifier tools." Comes across as another version of:
"EnTiRe CoRpUs Of HuMaN KnOwLeDgE!"
"EnTiRe CoRpUs Of HuMaN KnOwLeDgE!"
That text was generated by Copilot.
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella says people should move beyond calling AI 'slop'
"We need to get beyond the arguments of slop vs sophistication and develop a new equilibrium ... that accounts for humans being equipped with these new cognitive amplifier tools as we relate to each other"

Fun fact - even though it's not in service anymore, it still has a "Keeper" on the island. Manual Cappo.
On this date in 1815, John Paul Radelmüller was killed at Gibraltar Point Lighthouse. He was Toronto’s first lighthouse keeper and his ghost is said to haunt the area to this day.
