Congratulations to Maegashira #1 Hokutofuji for defeating Ozeki 'Battle Hamster' on the opening day of the Aki Basho.
I like him too. I really hope Terunofuji gets his health problems straightened out. I saw him wrestle as a Maegashira in 2016 and bought his t-shirt. Would love to see him wrestle as a Yokozuna this January when we go back.
Wow, i'd love to see some live Sumo. I'm not sure Terunofuji is up to it anymore, with his knees. Seems like he's going to be off every other basho to recover. He's awesome though, the hardest stare in the game.
AI is supposed to be trained on all of human knowledge but as far as I can tell it's mostly ingesting the English Internet.
Generative AI in general. Lots of social media posts of things like "countries as superheroes," etc popping up on my feed. Obviously the prompt maker has a say in the final output but have been bothered lately by the obvious bias coloring the results. For instance, weirdly enough, "the most beautiful woman from each country" all seem to look pretty much the same...
No expectation for this to be perfect. Anything trained on the human experience will come packaged with our own shortcomings. I don't fear AI for it's ability to create. I fear AI because i think as a society we're all to willing to accept its outputs uncritically.
Drinking green tea, doing meditation, getting physical health in order, eating dark chocolate, and red meat. You know what I mean?

It’s ok I was partially joking about painting it. I did see a green up for auction at Mandarake, but I just got a blank purple and I’m satisfied with that.
Badges? We ain’t got no badges. We don’t need no badges. I don’t have to show you any stinking badges.
You ever look at your dog and realize they don’t have many more years to live? Scares the shit out of me.
I am so very thankful for all of the good times my pup and I have shared, and continue to share. I’ll love him until his very last breath. I just don’t really know how I’ll react to that kind of loss. But I guess I won’t know until it happens.
