If algorithms are designed for maximum engagement and AI is learning from them, how will these be useful tools? If I ask ChatGPT questions it does its best to keep me all more and more things. This does not seem productive.

I’m totally on board with city development but can we please figure out how to have sidewalks during it?

All Summer long the Lord Nelson and nearby businesses have been making sure they flaunt NS Water by having amazing green grass and wet sidewalks.

Our first in the wild robot vacuum. The Eufy C10 has been launched at Sutherland Steam Mill to help staff and test out more of our museum automations. How will he fare? @novascotiamuseum.bsky.social

Very excited to be testing out a new robot vacuum that will be released on one of my museums in the next few weeks. Just doing some testing to see its weird quirks (they all have them) so that I can train staff in how to have the best robot experience. @novascotiamuseum.bsky.social

New friend on the way to join the @novascotiamuseum.bsky.social Conservation automation team. The Eufy C10 robovacuum is a branch out from the traditional Roomba team, but we are excited to welcome our new friend and get him on site to test out. #museumroomba

As a long time civil servant I have always heard the old trope "if government was a business it would be out of business" to which I always responded, it is a service provider, not a business and you won't like it if it were a business.

We’ve lived with good old Roomba Todd for awhile now. As a vacuum Todd has been a great addition to the museum team at the @novascotiamuseum.bsky.social but when choosing a dual purpose vacuum and mop robot I would stay clear of the models that make you physically switch parts.
