No? Do I believe that a lot of people will race to the bottom and use it for ill or just use it poorly? Yes. But I get value out of this technology daily for legitimate research tasks. It's easy to blame a tool for people misbehaving. Let's make sure the accountability stays with the people.

If you were fired today and decided to send one last calendar invitation to your boss for three months from now, what would it say?

This idea isn't new. Video game streamer "Kwebbelkop" attempted to use AI to automate his Youtube video hosting in 2024, with very negative audience reactions. I don't imagine Bartlett's efforts will be any more successful, even if his tech stack is better. #CIOsky #digitalhuman #AIhost

I've visited this island as a tourist twice. It'd be too bad to lose it as a cool historical destination. But from a far more frightening angle, I just can't imagine that any level of renovation could bring Alcatraz up to acceptable modern standards.

I am extremely reluctant to engage with TRON: ARES content, but if this NIN soundtrack album is going to be PRETTY HATE MACHINE VOL. 2 as this first track strongly implies, then unfortunately I will have no choice but to stan www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Sj-...

This week is awash in setbacks so I'll take the W of a new NIN single. For a certain species of Xennial this is like replenishing your health bar with trash can chicken, Final Fight style

How much of the tendency to overpay do you think is based on consideration that Toronto is a high tax jurisdiction compared to most other destinations in the league? e.g. Does Toronto have to overpay players because they'd be keeping more of their income if they played 42 games in Texas of Florida?

Canada Will Scrap Tax That Prompted Trump to Suspend Trade Talks

A disappointing fold from the Liberals. The Digital Services tax would have brought in billions in revenue. It also is unfair to obligate Canadian digital services providers charge HST while foreign firms can charge no tax. #cdntech #tradewar #DST

Say what you will about this particular approach, but Denmark is at least attempting copyright innovation while other jurisdictions haven't even started the conversation.
