Good Morning #Canada
Most of us - who are not CEOs, or CFOs, or CTOs, or C-somethings - know that #AI makes the user experience shittier and we'd prefer it wasn't installed on our phone, tablets, applications or toasters. But when it gets installed on children's toys, that becomes a whole new level of evil perpetrated on us by the tech bros. Numerous media outlets reported in the past month about the dangers of letting your kids access AI via a cute and cuddly toy, most focused on a teddy bear that used Chat GPT to explain fetishes and role playing to unsuspecting children. I don't think Santa's Elves were involved in the quality control process. Stick with something low tech, like Play-Doh or LEGO.

An AI toy meant for kids was happy to chat about sexual fetishes. Are these safe? | CBC Radio

Imagine your toddler playing with a soft teddy bear, but with ChatGPT baked in. These AI toys can chat to your kid, play games and even say, "I love you." But experts are warning that we don’t know the long-term impacts to a child’s creativity and social development.

Good Morning #Canada
Yesterday, I removed the 3rd #Tick of the season from our dog Harley, meaning a likely nasty summer ahead for these blood-sucking pests. Hikers, gardeners, dog owners, and visitors to parks need to be vigilant and look for ticks after every outside adventure. A warming planet has allowed ticks to expand their territory in Canada by more than 46 square kilometers every year. Protect yourself.

As we count the hours into days away from the crash, the bruises have deepened in color revealing more of the trauma to the soft tissue.

I’m more convinced than ever that a seatbelt and airbags saved my wife from life threatening injuries. I highly recommend using a seatbelt and getting vehicles equipped with airbags.

Instances of "hallucination" of the chatbots were reported in April 2023. This occurs when chatbots and people see what isn't there.
