"End to end encryption" sounds like a Tech Bro reinvented eating food. "Oh yeah, this new system gives you end to end encryption when eating your Subway sandwich!"

Brutal line "paint by numbers approach to thought."

TWE-P-L?

Yes yes, many bathrooms, but I don't think it has any doors to the outside? It's a real, "When life closes a door, it opens a window, because that's all the AI architect generated for you."

A co-worker just sent this to me, and it absolutely is making its way into my next presentation on the issues with using "AI" in law.

Anyone remember block chain and how it was going to change everything? How’s that working out these days?

This was a great piece.

I mean, as someone who occasionally skated to school on the Rideau Canal in Ottawa, I low key like this idea. Its probably more feasible than a tunnel under the 401.

I'm excited for the @thebeaverton.com article about the CBC article, about the Beaverton article that was referenced in the Times article.

Yes, but have you looked at me enough today? Asks the cat.

Fun fact, when we used to go out for drinks at my old firm, we would occasionally tell people we were in the hot air balloon business instead of a bunch of lawyers. Who knew our business would have been contrary to the by-laws!?

Sure @xkcd.com, I felt like crying today. Why not.

An excerpt from Thomson Reuters' legal brief arguing that "AI is theft"

It's WILD that this is the first and last lines of a legal brief by Thomson Reuters:

It’s me, I’m the Canadian researcher, apparently.

Glad to see such a big turn out! Sad I couldn't make it because I was out of the country but looks like others picked up the slack!

An old classmate of mine is legislative drafting counsel. Based on what they've told me about the rigour in their work, I expect this would go poorly.

Toronto, I’m coming home today. All I want for Christmas is a fraction of the Christmas markets I’ve attended in Vienna.

So, the Vienna Furniture Museum is BITCHIN’

So many cargo bikes…

As I wander around Vienna, I weep.

Thats the fundamental problem with AI, it IS popular and (perceived) as easy to use.

If it was the Segway 2.0 (remember how that was going to change the EVERYTHING) I’d be less concerned!

Again, the Archives bringing the type of energy I crave in this current hellscape.

Except the whole point of, "I can neither confirm nor deny that such information exists, but if it did, that information would be classified" was to provide a non-answer. This seems more of a "read between the lines..." type answer. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glomar_...

I am 100% convinced that the death of the headphone jack is the direct cause of the scourge of people playing stuff on speaker phone in public.

Oh Vienna, it’s good to be back. You’ve re-won me over with your cycling infrastructure, prevalent #cargobike usage, and cheese sausages in a bun.

What happens first? My flight takes off or the budget vote? It’s gonna be close! (Plane was supposed to take off at 6:30). It’s an 8 hour flight! Such suspense.

Right?! I spend probably $400-500 annually because even a basic cargo tune up costs like $200 around here. I'm sure the hydro bill is miniscule.

I even have insurance via my home policy that was like an extra $20 annually for the increased sublimit for the bike.

Also, average cost of owning a car is $12-16k annually, and people say my eBullitt was expensive!
