I took students on a field trip to the library today and it was fun showing them all that the library has to offer. Books! Magazines! Board games! Video games! Teen paint nights and other programming! It has everything!

Disinformation is getting harder and harder to avoid, and generative AI is like the final boss in a game no one wants to be playing. Before you head to the polls on Monday, I hope you read my piece. www.winnipegfreepress.com/breakingnews...

This article was completed before presentations were finished. It misses that the last two hours of speakers were in support of the bill and that more speakers will present on April 30. The stories that were shared in support of protecting gender expression were important to hear.

Listening to Karen Sharma of the Manitoba Human Rights Commission talk about the importance of adding gender expression to the Human Rights code in Manitoba. Very informative and correcting lots of misconceptions about how the commission works.

This would be a good activity to do with a class to show them how AI will make up meaning. The example I used was a French idiom "Faire rire aux poissons," which means to tell lies. Google's AI had other ideas.

Take this as a warning to talk with your elderly relatives about grandparent scams. Scammers are the worst. It is vile to scare and take advantage of vulnerable people.

I tried looking up why Mark Carney is wearing a 97 on his hockey jersey in his latest ad and Google tells me it is because he is 97 years old and also is not 97 years old at all.
