@theaifix.show My "Would you trust a pigeon?" mug has arrived and been christened with coffee (Canadiano, natch).

It's the larger 15floz size (can of pop for scale), the quality is superb and the coffee tastes even better than usual :-)

Is telepathy really possible? Well, a group of nerds claim that they may have made a piece of wearable AI-powered tech that very NEARLY makes you telepathic.

@ai-fix-mark.bsky.social and I take a closer look at "AlterEgo" in the latest episode of "The AI Fix" podcast.
