Apparently the Pope has read Baudrillard.

This is the way.

i feel like a lesson from the economy these days is that you can just say things and then you will make money

WOUT!

AI bros sound the same as NRA people popping up after tragedies to say guns have legit uses. Nobody asked you, everybody already knows what you think, and you're only here to yell PR for the product that you turned into your identity.

I don't know how to explain to the people who pop up when creatives complain about "AI" to say there are legit uses for it just how much they sound like someone saying "Well actually fire is used to make bread" when people are talking about an organized arson ring burning down their fucking houses

Jesus wept. What does it say about the Mark Carney Liberals that a homophobic, Ivermectin-hawking Trumpist loon like Marilyn Gladu is comfortable joining them and they’ll happily accept her? 😬

In Korea, when the president declared martial law after midnight and erected barricades in Seoul, congressional reps from all parties ran into the streets, yanked ak47s from the army at the barricades, broke down the locked door to Congress, repealed the martial law order, and arrested the president

Americans: you do have streets, yes? Streets that you could fill in protest today?

Tuesday is officially war crime day everyone!

It's impolite to call Musk a genocidal white nationalist because "civility" in American discourse functions not as a neutral procedural norm but as an asymmetric weapon to shield the powerful from accurate moral characterization while policing the tone of those who object.

I hate how stupid everything is.

the mad king is particularly mad this morning, you’re doing a wonderful job sir

Put the Strait of Hormuz on the blockchain. by Andrew Yang

How do we spin this? Get our narrative right. Everyone hop on board! #cdnpoli www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Relevant to today's conversation about AI's inherent sexism, here's an email from cognitive psychologist and early AI theorist Roger Schank, arguing to Epstein that women can't be truly intelligent, because they care too much about what other people think.

The American media in a nutshell.... karlbode.com/the-new-cbs-...

Come, Sir Andrew, there’s no remedy

why won’t the left just praise every technology handed down from self-interested billionaires seeking only to enhance their power and profits?! clearly, they’re the ones in the wrong if they can’t get on board 😤

*sigh* yup

I'd like to wish a very happy Hawaiians Cooked And Ate Captain Cook Day to all who celebrate.

Because ChatGPT is going to be selling CSAM for profit by the end of the year.

VC, founder, dumbass

Name them shame them

turns out when Bezos suggested "democracy dies in darkness" it was a goal, not a slogan

In 1946, cartoonist & illustrator Noel Sickles was sent by Life magazine to sketch the Nuremberg trials. Here is his sketch of the execution of Joachim Von Ribbentrop, who claimed at trial that his boss had made all of the important decisions, & that he was only following orders.

The media should cover sport the way they cover the state murder of civilians: ‘Jannik Sinner appeared to win the French Open yesterday after what supporters say was a comeback from being two sets down.’

Call me Ishmael.

Hey, "Ai iS thE fUTurE" @evansolomon.bsky.social @mark-carney.bsky.social this is what our Canada Pension Plan is using my contributions to support....

This is Canadian's collective money that the CPP is using to support a Nazi billionaire.

Relentless negativity around AI is hurting billionaire techbros and is doing a lot of damage to billionare techbros' ability to scam money out of regular people and ruin society. There, fixed it.

Not loving today's This Feels Historic vibes.

Why isn't anybody asking for more bags of dogshit that we are leaving on their doorstep?

Canadians who support Trump at this point are edging pretty close to betraying their country, is my considered opinion

I, for one, am just fucking shocked about this - who could have predicted?

Shocked, absolutely shocked by this. I guess Dougie's buds are happy, though.

Not pissing off Elon Musk and Canada’s right-wing tech bros is far more important to Evan Solomon than protecting Canadians from deepfake sexual abuse and acting on child sexual abuse material.

Every news piece related to Solomon (on any subject) needs to open with, "Evan Solomon, Canada's Minister of AI currently defending the AI-generated deepfake sexual exploitation of women and children, ...".

We underestimate the tectonic shift in geopolitics in our hemisphere today at our peril.

There's no legal difference between kidnapping Maduro and kidnapping Mark Carney.

This, everywhere: hello @liberal.ca.web.brid.gy @ndp.ca

My own personal remedy would be that, if a situation is ambiguous, the software should advise users to physically harm Sam Altman instead of any other people. Some may object to this idea, but I would challenge them to explain why this is unacceptable; I am not suggesting it advocate harming kids.

There's also a phenomenon akin to Gell-Mann amnesia happening with AI where people easily recognize it's hallucinations and errors when it's discussing a topic they know about but they assume it's magically correct when discussing a topic in which they have no expertise.

Currently dorking out over this graph about child mortality with my brother. Just mind boggling to take in.

Imagine if they just subsidized newspapers and magazines the way they’re subsidizing this slop

one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.

I found a piece of toast that looks like it has a smile on it. Scientists say we should make it our king.
