The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Looking to see when the final ALCS game between Toronto and Seattle is (tonight, not to hold you in suspense) I asked Google, whose AI returned this result:

The next ALCS game is not scheduled as the 2025 ALCS has already concluded.
The American League champion, which will be either the Toronto Blue Jays or Seattle Mariners, will advance to the World Series to play the National League champion, the Los Angeles Dodgers. The World Series is scheduled to begin on October 24, 2025.


If it can get something this simple wrong, I’d be reluctant to hand over my investing, business accounting, materials procurement, driving, robot control, or much of anything else.

Asked a different way, I got this answer instead:


Yes, there is another Blue Jays vs. Mariners game tonight, Game 7 of the ALCS, scheduled for 8:08 p.m. ET.
This will be the deciding game of the series, with the winner advancing to the World Series. The game is being played at Rogers Centre, with Shane Bieber scheduled to start for the Blue Jays


Both queries were made within the last 10 minutes, and both are at opposite ends of the universe of “correct answers.”
