"Love is that condition in the human spirit so profound that it empowers us to develop courage; to trust that courage and build bridges with it; to trust those bridges and cross over them so we can attempt to reach each other."

A ginger dog and a white and ginger cat sleep next to each other.
The dog is on its side; the cat has its head in the dog’s neck, and its leg on its snout.

He has his head and front legs on his side, and the back legs spread out and on his back.

Today marks "Magusto Day", a Portuguese tradition that celebrates autumn with roasted chestnuts, new wine, and joyful community gatherings. The festivity traces its roots to ancient harvest and St. Martin’s Day celebrations, a warm reminder of the traditions of my beloved country. 🇵🇹💚❤️🌰🍷🍷

I’ve been telling people for awhile now that AI is largely fake. Get your money out of tech stocks, or if you love risk, maybe invest in quantum computing.

We just found out our AI has been making up
analytics data for 3 months and I'm gonna
throw up.

So we've been using an Al agent since November to
answer leadership questions about metrics. It seemed
amazing at first fast answers, detailed explanations,
everyone loved it.
I just found out it's been hallucinating numbers this
entire time.
Our VP of sales made territory decisions based on
data that didn't exist. Our CFO showed the board a
deck with fake insights. The Al was just inventing
plausible sounding percentages.
I only caught it by accident when someone asked me
to double check something. I started digging, and
holy shit, it's bad.
