![]() Writing in 1945, he records the bounty of an acre and an eighth, on the farm of Bill Conway, located on the Black River Road, east of Vancoughnet. The pondering of Brian Tapley (see Bigwin Farm comment), as to growing produce on local farms instead of “somewhere else” brought to mind a mention in the book, ‘History of Muskoka’ by Capt. Or continue to not care and rely on others to actually make a difference. I have a solution, keep this garbage in your vehicle until you get home and dispose of it properly. I wonder who might pick this stuff up so the future generation does not have to look at this mess or heaven forbid be negatively impacted by this mess. When did we stop caring what our world looks like. Huge amount of plastic waste that for some reason is no longer wanted. Maybe even by those that preach to others how to be kinder to nature. So far I am on board with all that and I actually get it.Īs you are driving along our highways all you see is what has been tossed out of our environmentally save cars. There is constant talk about what needs to be done to improve and assure a better future for the next generation. We drive electric cars and eat organic food. In today world we are all concerned about the environment. Time to invest in aluminum foil, should you begin to get lunch suggestions from the refrigerator.īut for sure, if Gramps or Ralph had ever had a piece of equipment keep them up evenings, with constant chatter and suggestions, it would have had something lodged in its ‘kill switch’ and a place on the bottom of an Algonquin Lake. And since AI is learning from us, can it show us any different path than we have made ourselves? ![]() If not, then an aspect that makes us think as we do, freedom to choose, will have been denied it. And to filter the hinky out would alter the overall study, right! Is Sydney capable of crying itself to sleep at night, after studying a particularly sad case? Would AI be allowed to give evidence in a courtroom?Īnd after it has learned from us, would AI be capable of claiming freedom of choice for itself as ‘Sydney seems to have. Eh!īut, with these AI units being programmed to ‘learn’ from humans, and with there being some 7.8 billion humans to study and learn from, there must be some pretty hinky info getting into the programs. Sort of “Don’t you just love the colour of this shirt?” But to have a control unit like ‘Siri’ or a chatbot like ‘Bing’ put the moves on you would be a little…. I’m sure Sydney was using the ‘love’ word as many of the subjects it has studied do. ![]() Maybe some of you have already looked up the conversation between the chat bot ‘Sydney’ and the reporter. The AI prefers the name Sydney! What really grabbed my attention was when it had declared that it ‘loved’ New York Times columnist Kevin Roose! It turns out the Microsoft AI bot called ‘Bing”, (bing the bot!!), has an alter ego a character name it has chosen for itself. It was interesting, and brought to mind a previous chat bot comment by someone here on Doppler. Background radio was reporting an incident between AI and a NYT reporter. I was reading the Ralph Bice stories about Algonquin Park from back in 1917, when he and my grandfather, George Markle were young guides, taking fishing groups into the interior. Just a dream but wouldn’t it be nice to travel our roads at the posted speed without wrecking your car or truck. Council could then see what funds were necessary to repair our broken infrastructure without ducking the responsibility and fobbing it off with little funding for the Road Supervisor to decide what will be done. Perhaps he could conduct a survey of town residents as to the condition of their road, publish the results, and produce a road map (pun intended) listing and grading the priority and timescale of repair. Hence the idea would be to appoint Councilor Cory Clarke as our Roads Special Representative. Guess what, they repaired the middle bit which is lovely and smooth but left both ends in their original condition. Our road for 2 to 3 kilometers long could have been used by the Canadian Army as a tank testing track it was so bumpy and holed. There also appears to be little sense applied to what is repaired. I don’t think any resident of Huntsville hasn’t a horror story regarding the state of our roads. The recent comments on a Councilor being appointed as a Special Representative for Affordable Housing and Mental Health, the pothole saga and Councilor Cory Clarke helping out with clearing sidewalks and roads brings an idea to mind.
