Good day of Magic the Gathering. Did a Modern Horizons 3 prerelease with friends, met a couple more new friends. Then we played a commander game where everyone got to do a big turn and pop off.
1-2 overall in the prerelease. Died 2nd in the commander game. Had a shit ton of fun! #worthit
There was a Korean bakery at the farmers market, this morning. She had a piece of she called "ube tres leches" cake. Decided to take a cheat day on my diet. #WorthIt
Racists, sexists, antivaxxers, etc. are unhappy with “woke" chatbot answers and want to make #AI reflect their biases. If successful, Musk et al could make a powerful disinformation engine.
This battle is time-crucial and starkly illustrates humanity’s potentially fatal flaw: many people are irrational, so we cannot agree on a baseline reality. By weaponizing and electing disinfo and antiscience, the delusional can destroy civilization.
@skry so far, so-called "AI" has given us Artificial Stupidity (chatbots) and now Artificial Bigotry (lite). Also, possibly, a cure for autoimmune disease.

My four-year-old does not suspect that after I pick him up at school, we are going to the doctor to get our Covid boosters. I shall be prepared with a post-shot cookie, but this may not hold off the pre-shot tantrum. Think of me this afternoon.
As ever, getting out the house for a run is always #WorthIt. But I don't think I'd ever get there if not for the excuse to listen to the marvellous

The real question is if the death is truly random?
Like, you know maybe 100 people really well, and are acquainted with maybe 2000 (including social media people you watch online). That's about 1 in 4,000,000 chance of even killing someone you know.
So, you could press the button like a million times, become a multi-billionaire, and end up killing, what, a few hundred thousand children?
The spread of misinformation and deliberate disinformation by right wing groups grows in Canada. Call it out.
Link for the video which is absolutely #WorthIt. Canada’s Prime Minister #JustinTrudeau discusses this Liberal government’s support of minority groups, LGBT individuals, and Charter Rights for all, when asked about school curriculum regarding gender issues by a parent who, from the discussion, appears to be Muslim.
