Has anyone asked the NRA what they think of this new idea that the tool is committing the crime rather than the person using it?

AI, SI, LLM? No, what we need to call them is BatP.
As in, "Bloke at the Pub told me ...".
And now you have a reference frame for how much reliance you can put on the statement that follows.

I have misplaced my NZ passport. Best case it is at my brother's house in Hampshire and I can pick it up on Tuesday, before flying to NZ via Canada on Wednesday to Saturday.
I have my UK passport, but it is not attached to my Canadian ETA.
My current plan is to apply for a new ETA on my UK passport, and apply for an emergency NZ passport, while my brother turns over the room I was staying in.
I've thought about calling the airline to help, but they still haven't found my bag from last week.

CO2, billionaires, and stupid people.
The LLM bubble is making more of all of them.

- Practice round in the Indian Crossword League went ok.
- Lunch plans with both brothers. Hasn't happened in at least a decade.
- Got through to someone at Air Transat and they might actually be looking for my luggage now.

68 gates at this airport and no pair of them are further apart than the one I arrived at and the one I'm leaving from. Having to go out and come back in through security again just to get a boarding pass is just a bonus.

The ferry at YTZ and its destination (right). This ferry hasn't left yet, in case you were wondering how far it goes.

Flexible thinkers of the Fediverse, please help me come up with a coherent position that sends the Parthenon marbles back to Greece but keeps the 28th Virginia treason flag in Minnesota.

Lovely beer though.

Three more or less #Leeds related things while driving from Toronto to Montreal yesterday:
- Kaiser Chiefs - I Predict a Riot:
Would never have happened to Smeaton
An old Leodiensian
- Township of Leeds and The Thousand Islands
- An old episode of #ISIHAC with Barry Cryer, also an Old Leodiensian

e.g. #UnderStarmerYouCould get arrested for wearing a Plasticine Action t-shirt

A friend said he couldn't think of any achievements of the soon to be ex Prime Minister. Please help me out with #UnderStarmerYouCould ...

Aargh, fuck it, people at work are trying to recruit me for their AI hackathon. I wonder if this is a suitable reply:
"I'll consider any team that thinks that preserving any of the following are important:
climate;
economy;
software development as a profession."

Time to switch KiwiSaver provider again. This one just gleefully informed me that they've spent my money on SpaceX shares.

Parking lots have better unit economics than the data centres we're currently paving paradise for. #JoniMitchell #NoAI

Just cancelled my recurring donation to Wikimedia Foundation, and told them why.
