The Great Llama

I've gotta admit, I'm really amused watching Christine Drazan and Tina Kotek compete to be the one who opposes data centers more. Just remember they're both completely full of shit and will sell us out as soon as they have the chance.

Note, this isn't a, "both parties suck so don't vote," thing. This is a, "all politicians are liars so pay attention to what they were saying more recently than last month," thing. If someone is going to run your state, you can afford a few minutes to read their Wikipedia entry before you give them your vote.

I was thinking about fictional artificial intelligence, and how it's been portrayed. From the computer systems in Star Trek, to Iron Man's Jarvis, to droids from Star Wars, to Skynet, to the Geth from the Mass Effect game series, to... Well, you get my point.

Benevolent or malevolent, the common thread is accuracy. When the machine has an answer, it's accurate. I seem to remember a story line in Star Trek TNG where Data was in serious crisis because he believed he had made an error and it shook him to his core.

None of the authors of all this fiction thought for a moment that we'd design a machine to lie to us and make mistake for us.

Has anyone here pursued the new interpretation of #Canadian ancestral citizenship rules? The way it's being interpreted, as I understand it, is if you have an ancestor who was a Canadian citizen, then you technically ARE a Canadian citizen, and the paperwork acknowledging that fact is legally a formality. Well, it goes back to my great grandfather, who was born 150 years ago in New Brunswick.

I've come to the conclusion that the best way to handle someone asserting that free will doesn't exist, is to punch them directly in the nose... Obviously, you have no choice in the matter.

Really, are we still doing these?

Apparently mastodon.au can't be bothered to ban him, which is a shame.

Pretty sure @fediblockfightsfash@mastodon.au is another Dav1d alt. Fits his pattern of cosplaying as antifa while spamming #fediblock

@heyitsluna@critter.cafe @feditransparency@mstdn.ca
I did. I looked at the local version on .au and it's more obvious.

Grabbing some dinner, and I just overhead a woman talking about, "working" on her tan...

That's still a thing?

...and if they don't dance, well they're no friends of mine.

Yes, congratulations on creating another account for us all to block.

Bro, you ain't slick.
