After 23 years- it’s happened. Congrats to the @WHLSilvertips, champions of @TheWHL.
Zoran Rajcic, GM Mike Fraser waited long enough. #SeaKraken prospect Julius Miettinen gets a ring. A passionate fan base gets their due. The hockey tide rises in the PNW.
This is wild.
143 million people thought they were catching Pokémon. They were actually building one of the largest real-world visual datasets in AI history.
Niantic just disclosed that photos and AR scans collected through Pokémon Go have produced a dataset of over 30 billion real-world images. The company is now using that data to power visual navigation AI for delivery robots.
Players didn't just walk around with their phones. They scanned landmarks, storefronts, parks, and sidewalks from every angle, at every time of day, in lighting and weather conditions that staged photography would never capture. They documented the physical world at a scale no mapping company with a fleet of vehicles could have replicated on the same timeline or budget.
Niantic collected this systematically, data point by data point, across eight years, while users thought the only thing at stake was catching a rare Charizard.
The most valuable AI training datasets in the world aren't being assembled in data centers. They're being built by people who have no idea they're building them.
.@Jay_D_Rosehill was disgusted by the Leafs’ lack of immediate response after Radko Gudas went knee-on-knee with Auston Matthews.

"They have to go in the dressing room & a 60-year-old man has to fucking tell them what they're supposed to do.."
The media struggle session happening with Brady (and Jake) is exhausting. Just move on and play hockey. Apparently we now hold American athletes in Canada to a higher account than our own politicians. It’s comical to me.
This aired tonight to 1 billion people in China. A year ago these robots could barely wave a handkerchief, now they can do backflips and kung fu with nunchucks. Physical intelligence is the next frontier.
The Professional Hockey Players’ Association and the @ECHL announced today that a tentative deal has been reached on a new collective bargaining agreement.
The tentative agreement remains subject to ratification by the PHPA’s ECHL membership and approval by the ECHL Board of Governors.
Players will report to their teams in good faith and prepare to return to play, pending ratification and approval.
Further details will be shared at an appropriate time.
Love this response from Head Coach in Rochester AHL, Mike Leone. Tells it how it is while still backing his player. How it should be. Your coach is there to push you. To make you better. Not to coddle your chin. Charmin ultra soft is a killer..
It is with great sadness that we mourn the tragic passing of former Calgary Hitmen Player Orca Wiesblatt.
We are heartbroken for his family, friends, and everyone that knew and loved him. On behalf of the ownership, management, coaches, players, and staff of Calgary Sports and Entertainment , we extend our deepest heartfelt sympathies during this very difficult time.
You are in our thoughts and prayers ❤️
RIP Charlie Kirk. It doesn’t matter what your opinion is of Charlie or his politics if you don’t view this as one of the darkest days in American history than you are part of the problem.
