Shocked that San Jose hasn't retired number 65 🤪

Pretty cool there is so much Sens chatter on here now. That's literally the only thing I miss about that other site.

You have to absolutely love it!

holy crap

Thinking about Preston Manning this morning, watching his life's work crumbling. He could have literally done anything else with his career and still got 25%.

I don't think any hockey announcer actually knows what a "forearm shiver" is.

Welp

What did the Russian whisper in your ear?

This is your occasional reminder that generative "AI" in particular could have been developed on public domain materials and/or licensed and compensated works but the major players intentionally, methodically and systemically chose to steal labor from working creative folks instead

Are the Ottawa Senators low-key the best team in professional ice hockey?

Thinking about the sandwich wrap craze of the 90s. Those were simpler times...

Almost time for #GoSensGo!

Trump says Canada having more friends is bullying

I've been concerned about the end of the information age since I first started experimenting with LLM's a few years ago. It may be very close, and there is no effective response, and no idea what might be next.

Once in a while I think, maybe I should log in to my Apple account, and then Apple reminds me they must have my credit card on file or I can't sign in. And then I can't remember why I even need to sign in. I don't think iTunes is even a thing anymore.

Unforgivable.

Don't look now America, but I think all your checks and balances have failed... 😬

A truer post has never been posted.

Dear Amazon Prime. Rewinding your stupid shows should not trigger ads! I'm trying to find my place in a show and I've had to watch like 10 minutes in commercials. This is broken UX!

Hey guys meta announced a new policy where they send a killer to get you so be sure to go to settings>my account > killer> disable killer to turn that off

Hi Internet! I'm Drew and THIS IS MY FACE. If this GIF has ever brought you joy in the past, I humbly ask you to consider making a donation to the National MS Society. It would mean a lot to me and to those I know affected by the disease! Donate at blinkingguy.com

5 Simpsons line I utter most off the top of my head: !. My cat's breath smells like cat food. 2. Bad bees! Ow, they're defending themselves somehow! 3. I'm cold and there are wolves after me. 4. Don't make me run. I'm full of chocolate. 5. It's still good! It's still good!

Vacation over. It's email day today!

World’s oceans hit hottest temperature on record in August

I mean, the way things are going south of the border, it might not be the worst thing politically and economically to be less affiliated with and dependent on them...

Having been part of similar meetings, I can only assume this is happening in post secondary institutions everywhere. And now IT departments are starting to block some AI use cases. This is not sustainable.

The search for AI ROI continues. University admin gave a presentation to faculty senate on AI. They begged us to discover use cases for them. All they have is a bespoke Ai tutoring agent and hopes and dreams for improved internal operations All senate had to offer was complaints about cheating

AI ear cameras now. So cool! I've always said, if only my ears could see.

its frustrating because like... i don't think AI tools are automatically of the devil or anything. i think if we had an entirely different kind of society, i wouldn't be as upset about it. maybe we'd have better AI tools. but we have the society we have, and the tech industry is the way that it is

How does the accumulation of headlines like these not look like an absurdist tale of end times for civilization?

websites that force you to sign up for an account with them before you're allowed to check out WILL be going to Hades, and this is not up for debate

welcome to online. today you'll be getting schooled in stuff you learned in a 6th grade by a guy learning it for the first time as he transcribes wikipedia

This. 100%. Almost every online interaction feels yucky and scammy these days. Dark times for the internet.

May be about time politicians start running on platforms that promise to bring down insurance premiums. The cost of insurance is out of control.

Ontario spends less on a university student than any other province: $10,481, against a national average of $17,424 (OCUFA). The Ford government's 6% increase in February doesn't change that ranking. It lifted the tuition freeze too. Students make up the difference.
