In 2-3 Years, AI Will Mean There Is Basically No Way To Tell What Is Real and What Is Not

This is a huge problem. (I think I’m fairly tech savvy but I’m already having situations where my kids are saying “Dad – that’s AI!” They’re more skeptical but will they get sucked in too as it ges better and better?)

In 2–3 years, there will be no way to tell what’s real and what’s not… and I have no idea how humanity will deal with this enormous problem. pic.twitter.com/TgkE1BvAig

Saturday Snap – Getting Fancy For Shea’s Christmas Party

Pretty amazing that one of the doctors that Shea works with picked up the entire tab for a Christmas party, both for the staff at his clinic plus the unit he works with the most at the hospital.

And he didn’t cheap out – appetizers, full buffet meal, photo booth, games, DJ and dancing. It was a cash bar but there was even a spiked punch bowl that people could help themselves to!

And, as always, one of the best parts is hearing how much people love the library when they hear where I work! (We were behind another doctor in the food line and she was gushing “Oh, we LOVE the library! My kids were there all the time. We’re very much a book family, not a sports family!”

“Wow – which branch was your home branch?” I asked.

“Oh, that was in Ottawa!” she replied. 😉

One of the hardworking healthcare workers in this picture even worked briefly at RPL a few years ago – for any coworkers reading this, can you spot who it is?

Music Monday – “I will come back here, bring me back when I’m old/I want to lay here forever in the cold I might be cold but I’m just skin and bones/And I’ll never love England more than when covered in snow”

One of the single saddest moments of my life was leaving England a couple days before Christmas after a four-month college exchange.

I still consider the single most joyful stretch of my entire life – the people, the sights, the experiences – just pure living in the moment and openness to the world that greatly influenced me and probably, in some ways, is a level of happiness I’ve been trying to recapture my entire life.
