@mattgemmell Excellent idea! Would you mind if I heavily borrow from the text of your T&C page?

@idoubtit Without reading it beyond the headline, I’m choosing to believe they mean ā€œWhat happens if we find the original toy submarine model from the image?ā€ And I think the expert analysis will be ā€œBig bucks on the Antique Roadshowā€.

@karlchristiankrumpholz Ah! It's been too long since I've made it to Montreal! Wish you were coming to TCAF!

I’m officially done with takes on AI beginning ā€œEthical concerns asideā€¦ā€.

No! Stop right there.

Ethical concerns front and center. First thing. Let’s get this out of the way and then see if thre is anything left worth talking about.

Ethics is the formalisation of how we are treating one another as human beings and how we relate to the world around us.

It is *impossible* to put ethics aside.

What you mean is ā€œI don’t want to apologise for my greed and selfishness.ā€

Say that first.

@gretchenkdeahl Thanks! FWIW, there are slightly higher quality images on my website. illustrationist.ca/art-advent- I've got to get around to a Behind the Scenes post, but things have been kinda nuts around here lately.

@LaimesKudikis Darn (on the translation). Meant to say: ā€œIt’s wonderful, without needing to knowā€.
It’s been a long time since I’ve had time to just sit and free associate and draw. Your delightful doodles are spurring me to make time. šŸ˜„

@LaimesKudikis Tai nuostabu, net jei nepraŔau. (and I hope Deepl did a decent translation!)

@MikeTRose I'm *pretty* sure Jorvan is Charles Schwab's smarter brother.

@jfmezei I tend towards the simpler answer. There's a degree of responsibility when you have clearance; some info may have to be said obliquely as to not reveal active sources. Elizabeth May—who has clearance— said if she has a concern about what she can talk about, there’s a phone line to call to check.

Given PP’s penchant for throwing lies and half-truths around, I’m guessing he doesn't want to be in the situation where he has to show such restraint in his remarks.

@MikeTRose So creepy. Yikes.

Today at the dog park: the most vivid rainbow I’ve ever seen, and the first double rainbow I’ve seen to boot. #yyz #rainbow

Dogs wander in a field oblivious to a strong rainbow arcing through the partly cloudy sky behind them.A public park baseball field with lights and a pedestrian bridge behind are in foreground with a strong rainbow and a dimmer second rainbow arcing across the mainly cloudy sky in the background.Telephoto image of the vivid colours of a rainbow with a pedestrian bridge, construction equipment and baseball stadium lights in the foreground.

@sadedoes Ha! He did indeed play fetch with that stick—would that he wood do more, but he's very possessive! His bigger claim to fame is fetching a large rubber frisbee in the off-leash park, though I've yet to get good photos of his jumping/catching skills.
