Cory Doctorow nails it on AI
The market's bet on AI is that an AI salesman will visit the CEO of Kaiser and make this pitch: "Look, you fire 9/10s of your radiologists, saving $20m/year, you give us $10m/year, and you net $10m/year, and the remaining radiologists' job will be to oversee the diagnoses the AI makes at superhuman speed, and somehow remain vigilant as they do so, despite the fact that the AI is usually right, except when it's catastrophically wrong. "And if the AI misses a tumor, this will be the human radiologist's fault, because they are the 'human in the loop.' It's their signature on the diagnosis." This is a reverse centaur, and it's a specific kind of reverse-centaur: it's what Dan Davies calls an "accountability sink." The radiologist's job isn't really to oversee the AI's work, it's to take the blame for the AI's mistakes.

Minor personal victory: After getting stuck and distracted by yardwork last spring, I finally managed to replace the auger belts in my snowblower.

If you have been sharing that Malwarebytes article on the Gmail thing, you should note the giant correction up top.

www.malwarebytes.com/blog/news/20...
Update November 22. We’ve updated this article after realising we contributed to a perfect storm of misunderstanding around a recent change in the wording and placement of Gmail’s smart features. The settings themselves aren’t new, but the way Google recently rewrote and surfaced them led a lot of people (including us) to believe Gmail content might be used to train Google’s AI models, and that users were being opted in automatically. After taking a closer look at Google’s documentation and reviewing other reporting, that doesn’t appear to be the case. Gmail does scan email content to power its own “smart features,” such as spam filtering, categorisation, and writing suggestions. But this is part of how Gmail normally works and isn’t the same as training Google’s generative AI models. Google also maintains that these feature settings are opt-in rather than opt-out, although users’ experiences seem to vary depending on when and how the new wording appeared. It’s easy to see where the confusion came from. Google’s updated language around “smart features” is vague, and the term “smart” often implies AI—especially at a time when Gemini is being integrated into other parts of Google’s products. When the new wording started appearing for some users without much explanation, many assumed it signalled a broader shift. We’ve revised this article to reflect what we can confirm from Google’s documentation, as it’s always been our aim to give readers accurate, helpful guidance.

If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features."

There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.

Hondo Flash bass
The Hondo Flash (model H-888) is a headless bass. Its small rectangular body has a large hole in it behind the bridge. Instead of having the fancy Steinberger-style bridge/tuners combo, the tuners are at the end of the body. It's got a stacked humbucker J-style pickup and a piezo pickup in the bridge. The controls (volume/tone/blend) are roller knobs inset into the top of the body, and there's also a series/parallel switch.

Sad to learn that the best music festival in Ontario is no more. Summer 2026 is going to feel weird without Elora Rverfest to cap it off.

Heading *into* this game, Leafs were:

27th in CF%
25th in FF%
22nd in SF%
17th in xGF%

Can't win without the puck, guys. Fire the coach, get a possession-focused guy in, if that doesn't improve things, it's time to start thinking drastically.

@hockeyviz.com has their playoff odds at what, 25%?

Joel Quenneville's return to Chicago last night might be the final time that the Brad Aldrich story is at the forefront of the hockey world's minds.

But we should never forget what we're moving on from.

Windows 10 goes out of support today. My fave useless fact about w10 is that the iconic blue desktop background is a *photograph* - not CGI.

Three images showing photographers in a studio, standing around a black curtained area with a projector and a 'Windows' logo etched onto a glass pane. The lower image shows a version of the iconic blue windows background, with blue lasers outlining and passing through an angled Windows logos against a dark background.
