A tech story about Gemini

Where Gemini first boasts that it can dominate the Atari 2600 chess program and then won't play chess after being told that both ChatGPT and Copilot lost to the ancient program.

“Canceling the match is likely the most time-efficient and sensible decision.”

Weird how Liberals act like they're so very concerned about misinformation, yet here we have Mark Carney peddling discredited carbon capture technology as a way to produce “decarbonized” oil.

For those unaware, carbon capture is a scam and it is absolutely not a viable solution for dealing with emissions.

I think Ottawa politicians are getting nervous that the crazies pushing the reichwing Alberta independence movement might just pull it off. (Think Brexit). As always, politicians resort to misinformation to battle the other sides misinformation.

Alberta politicians, "Ottawa will end the tar sands economic boom because of those nasty environmentalist. Trump can save us."

Ottawa, "The sludge will continue to flow, but environmentalist need not worry due to carbon capture."

I have just read the following from a friend in Wales. Sue, a veteran of Greenham Common, is in her late 70s & in poor health; & yet has been subject to arrest & imposition of unreasonable bail conditions, while her partner was subject to a raid on their home by police at 3am.

Her crime? To protest peacefully in defence of the right to protest.

The United Kingdom & its constituent parts have become, under a Labour government, a police state.

Great essay by Viet Thanh Nguyen on the idealized America and its shadow self, as it actually exists.

"If the United States of America is the name for the best version of the country that its citizens can imagine—a nation bound by laws and uplifted by ideals—then Greater America is the doppelgänger that has also always existed, feeding on the desire for power and profit."

"Three bags elaborately decorated with dog teeth have been discovered in the graves of Neolithic women near the village of Krauschwitz in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany. The women belonged to the Corded Ware Culture (ca. 2800–2200 B.C.), and are believed to have been part of the social elite who regularly wore these bags adorned with pierced dog teeth."

Vast marble pavement of ancient agora found in Turkey – The History Blog
thehistoryblog.com/archives/73…

"The agora was the main square where citizens participated in the political, religious and commercial life of the city. Magnesia’s agora has been excavated regularly since 2021. The 10,000 square feet uncovered so far is less than half of the 25,000 square meter agora. It is one of the largest agoras in the ancient Mediterranean, and the best preserved."
