When Bounty first released, ChatGPT had just come out, and I was asked about how close we were to truly conscious AI. I said “probably never.” The mask of conversational tone over LLMs has made the average person think these algorithms are much more complex and intelligent than they really are.

If your life was a film, what genre would it be? Quirky comedy

Tabarnak is trending.

There's been a lot of hand-wringing around JKR lately, and again i need to say that the key difference between supporting her work and others is that buying into Potter stuff right now, in this moment, is directly supporting her.

Premier Ford breaks ground on new FanDuel Toronto Primary School

things change: authors and wizards are not always to be trusted: nobody can explain a dragon.

Nobody who says, ‘I told you so’ has ever been, or will ever be, a hero.

Still is he sullen, still he low’rs and frets

Frog and Toad were caught in the rain. They ran to Frog’s house. “I am all wet,” said Toad. “The day is spoiled.” “Have some tea and cake,” said Frog. “The rain will stop. If you stand near the stove, your clothes will soon be dry.”

How it is, there is no telling
