Not here for pointless arguments, and if you want that my method is block early and without regret.

Living the dream in the deep south Pacific. Probably lots of dog photos, beach and bush.

I swear, a lot.

I make a lot of typos.
I went to bed last night with AI on my mind and had some fucking weird dreams.

And, again, I think of the opportunity cost of not doing this. The stories, visions, insights, that we miss because only the wealthy can comfortably create.

I'm not a creative. But I can see how this would benefit me by making the world more colourful.
I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland.

And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.
I’m constantly astounded at the sheer level of artistic production coming out of Iceland. Novels, movies, music. Amazing.

Everyone seems to be talking about AI right now, its a massive overhype, a big problem is that it is an opportunity for people to fuckup in spectacular ways by doing things they dont understand, but are told by the machine is ok. The risks some people are taking with agents is insane.

Finland has a similar population, similar landmass, similar situation with population density (majority of population in one part of the country) to us and yet it has an amazing interconnected public transport system and we dont.

It is very possible to do if you want to.
You can book a travel plan from my remote rural town in the Northeast to an address in the capital Helsinki in a single app for cheap and the trains and buses are fully electric, using very low-carbon grid power. Just sayin’ #Future is already here.

Let none of us pretend that there is anything special about AoNZ and our environment until we actually prove it.

At least we used to try to make it better.

At 9:18, 3rd period of the Finland-Switzerland women's ice hockey QF game, the ice crew came to clean the ice during a pause

What follows is the funniest use of the slo-mo alternate angle tech I've seen them use during these Olympics of one of the crew members falling

ICE using the same ruse that Ted Bundy used to kidnap people should tell you something.
CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.

Trump ran on reducing the deficit, and eliminating fraud and waste…

… then he gave more massive tax cuts to corporations and billionaires that are exploding the deficit, while taking bribes and giving massive kickbacks to donors.

Do you understand it was all a scam yet?

Why do the fascists want to keep you hooked on fossil fuels? Because it keeps them in power. If you don't need their fossil fuels, they lose a lot of that power. True for Putin, Trump and the Princes.

The smartest national security move now is to switch to renewables and electric transportation.

Wood unloaded and loaded,now time to mow the lawns before the rain arrives.

Then I can rest.
(By rest i mean drink beer in my shed)
I have got to unload a trailer stacked with reclaimed timber and then load it with firewood to take to my kids place.

I foresee a hot bath in my evening.
