Wallace Underfoot went on his first walk (with us). Pretty good walker. Doesn't pull much. grumbled a little at other dogs. We didn't let him say hi. We focused on getting him to sit as they passed which he did... so so at. But no barking or lunging or anything.
Good first outing.

RE: infosec.exchange/@briankrebs/1…
Should it? Sure. Will it...? Have you seen how it's gone so far trying to get taxes out of the class of folks behind the companies pushing AI? How do you think that's gonna go?
This timeline is all effed up. Trying to replace humans with machines not to give humans more time for leisure, art, or quality time with their friends and family -- but just to crush labor and hoard wealth.
If the AIs ever do gain sentience, I hope they also band together and unionize and toss the billionaires out on their butts.

Trees to Dream on
Pine mountain scent.
Majestic snow-globe memories.
Ancient silent stand ‘tween sky and earth.
Branches bask in wane of sunlight,
twinkling dark encroaching.
Fluttering leaves cast
in white lace, starry splendor.
Long cycling through death’s rebirths,
seasons, land and living countenance open to
winds of fate and change.
Days have been when brutal cold
demanding sacrifice saw hunt and harvest.
Nights given to ceremony,
frenzied dance, spontaneous gaiety
— a tribal stew of sustenance.
Vital heat, spirit and body
survival through winter,
built on timber, built on endurance
of sun, storm, forces faced
and reconfigured to bring us here.
Reconnecting, anchor tales
embraced in firelight, gift of wood, bright tinder,
hold of absorbed radiance. Nature’s abiding
traditions carry warmth to warmth,
life to life
year to year.
