More of these trees that we saw in the last days! It's the Chinese banyan aka "curtain fig". And it seems that it's sometimes actively used to stabilize slopes!

Made it around Mount Davis, and reached Waterfall Bay!
This part of the coast consists of a couple of connected public parks, which feel nice to walk in.

Oh hello! It seems that instead of discarding your deity figure, you can bring them here, and a member of the local community will take care if them!

Other places I've been to: "Oh yeah, the city has a *downtown* area, and there you can find a couple of higher buildings."
Hong Kong: *casually sprinkles 40-storey skyscrapes all over the place*

Made it to Deepwater Bay in the South of Hong Kong Island, the first beach I've seen here. Time for a break!

The map I'm following for the "around-the-island trail" denotes a couple of "safe deviations". So far, they seemed to lead around construction sites, for example, and once, to avoid a locked gate (which I realized too late, and which caused me a ~2 km detour. 🤦
But for this one, I'm glad that I didn't follow the deviation, and instead followed the shore!

It seemed like a bit of a gamble: Following the shore could be a really pretty and interesting path (instead of walking along a street).
On the other hand, the path could be impassable, or dangerous.
I also (again) realized too late that the official route would go another way, so it would've cost me time to turn around. I decided to see how far I'd get!

It quickly turned out that it would be an uphill hike. The first few steps were still made from concrete...

...but the stairs quickly turned into a somewhat crumbly (but safely walkable) situation.

So I followed this path up for maybe 20 minutes. At ~22 °C, I was sweating a lot!
A mid-forest crossroads had this beautiful way of marking the different directions!

At one point, I met two people hiking downhill, which gave me a feeling or relief: I would be able to get through there *somewhere*!
Eventually, the view opened up, and revealed the Stanley Peninsula!

@shoofle to steal mcc's material, the singularity already happened thousands of years ago when humans started developing writing systems during the late bronze age, which allowed them to use technology (clay tablets, etc) to augment their intelligence (keep track of wheat). this resulted in the gradual invention of new technologies (books, printing presses, increasing elaborate methods of etching) that in turn made the humans smarter and smarter each time
-
like maybe an ai singularity is possible. but you certainly shouldn't conclude that based on the evidence we have imo
-
i can't wait until people realize that the singularity is a made up thing
