A dead ringer for “Colonel Saunders” at the @bluejays.com game tonight. Not to be a conspiracy theory guy but is this to bring some subliminal desire to viewers to have some KFC all of a sudden? LOL you heard it here first.

Just heard Trump’s first response right after the America/Canada game was to shout: “rigged game … all the refs were Canadian, one goal judge was blind, and the arena was filled with paid Democrats posing as Canadians.”

"What safety, we ask, when police agencies chip away at our fundamental rights in their AI-powered investigations? What productivity, when Big Tech gobbles up resources and personal data in their AI frenzies? What responsibility, when AI systems have fuelled the first televised genocide in history?"

I cautioned this last week:
“DeepSeek's privacy policy discloses that they collect all kinds of data including chat and search query history, keystroke patterns, IP addresses, and activity from other apps.” And it is not surprising - so y’all might want to contemplate your privacy loss with your use

This is v.2 of "the AI rap". Using this in my presentations for the literacy AI project. BTW, the only AI used in this is at the last two lines where chatGPT had a better end rhyme - the rest all human baby 😎 #AI #artificialintelligence #presentations

First post and some anecdotal data from a series of fall workshop sessions with grades 6, 7 & 8 students about #AI:

. They don’t fear AI
. They aren’t worried about #privacy
. They don’t feel #addicted to devices eg #socialmedia

Sample size was 152 students across Toronto.
