I had an almost opposite scenario to this happen to me in middle school.

I was done of my classwork for the day, so I was playing games on my iPod Touch. Teacher notices it, confiscates it, and tells me I can get it back at the end of the day at the front office. Not so much getting an earful, just trying to get me to focus.

At the end of the day, I go to pick it up and the teacher says “I didn’t realize this wasn’t a phone. I would’ve let you keep it if I’d known”

Why would they be in Maine if they like Anne of Green Gables? Green Gables is in PEI, Canada.

This was with regards to Air Canada and its LLM that hallucinated a refund policy, which the company argued they did not have to honour because it wasn’t their actual policy and the bot had invented it out of nothing.

An important side note is that one of the cited reasons that the Court ruled in favour of the customer is because the company did not disclose that the LLM wasn’t the final say in its policy, and that a customer should confirm with a representative before acting upon the information. This meaning that the the legal argument wasn’t “the LLM is responsible” but rather “the customer should be informed that the information may not be accurate”.

I point this out because I’m not so sure CVS would have a clear cut case based on the Air Canada ruling, because I’d be surprised if Google didn’t have some legalese somewhere stating that they aren’t liable for what the LLM says.

Simple. It’s theirs when it works and yours when it doesn’t.

At this point, why even consider getting a Roku?

Note, I rarely, if ever, use a TV anymore, so smart TVs have never appealed to me. But Roku seems to be very anti consumer (between the forced arbitration and their ad policy), so I don’t understand why someone looking to get a smart TV would actually want a Roku over an alternative.

Maybe I’m just poorly informed, but it just seems like almost anything else should be a better option?

But if I call them that, people will think I’m talking about the Conservative Party of Canada (who also go by CPC).

Artificial General Intelligence

This is completely unrelated to the cat, and I have no idea why I think this, but from the nose up you look like someone who makes quality video essays on YouTube (not a specific individual, just the vibe)
