So kids, please don't rely on AI for your papers and projects. It makes stuff up. Its hallucinations are not even internally consistent. And by the time it's done, I'll have been "married" to more guys that Elizabeth Taylor!

I get why this seems great & on principle, I agree. I've seen the rampant phone addiction amongst kids & it's frankly jarring. And that's not even talking about the exploitation. But play that out - It would mean giving your ID to people notorious for dogshit infosec. It would be a nightmare!

I think every politician who proposes to ban anything on the internet for teens should be required to propose, as an alternate, a free and accessible and all weather space for teens to hang out in their own hometown

9.3 Trillion Liters of Water: UN Report Exposes Unfathomable Footprint of Data Centers as AI Booms

Wab Kinew: I reject the idea that we have to be slaves to surveillance capitalism in order to participate in the modern economy.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I can't find a single word in here about protecting Canadian artists from having their work stolen by AI companies, or compensating them for that stolen work. Why is it that people who create Canadian culture don't deserve accountability or control?

Yeah, a reminder that I am aggressively anti Generative AI because I'm a consent educator. I know how consent works. And a world that says "You wrote a book? Cool, let me guzzle a lake's worth of water to steal that and repackage it" is a world I don't want to participate in.

This is absolutely nuts: hackers are hijacking high-profile Instagram accounts by simply asking Meta's AI chatbot to change the email on the account. Meta's AI does it, hacker gets password reset code, they're in. A staggering security issue www.404media.co/hackers-simp...

I’m so fucking sick of all this shit. I shouldn’t have to be a goddamn detective just to exist in this world without being used for some fucking asshole’s bank account

Converting to Catholicism so I can tell my bosses using unregulated AI is against my religion and I will sue them like that cake lady who hated gay people if they make me use it

I get a lot of Qs about the hell we're supposed to do about young men and radicalization. There are lots of different resources on this and @whiteribbon.bsky.social has just created a new one specific for those who are raising boys and young men.

Tim Hortons is a multinational owned shitty coffee chain named after a Canadian hockey player who died from drinking and driving and the fact that everything they do makes the news never ceases to amaze me. Canadians tying their identity to it is such an indictment of how many of us are ignorant.

I could / might watch this all day (fraggle rock music is a bonus)

because I know y’all can’t click and read

hey so I've had sepsis twice and while it's usually treatable and survivable, acting quickly is IMPORTANT. here's the NHS page on symptoms and causes- it's worth taking a moment to familiarise yourself, because usually it's other people who notice the signs. www.nhs.uk/conditions/s...

Meanwhile in Saskatchewan, one of the sunniest places in the world, we’re spending $26 billion on … coal

Trans people have been around your whole life. You’ve been sharing bathrooms with them your whole life. They’ve been in your communities your whole life. They’ve even been playing sport your whole life. And you didn’t care *at all* till a few years ago when every right wing org decided you should

Technology these days is just a never ending list of things to disable.

this is just one more blatant example, and i’m glad some people are calling it out.

As US troops retreat in cowardice, Canada will lead to protect Europe’s 2nd front from Russian invasion in the Baltics. Canadian troops will go beyond their original mission and have been moved forward towards the Russian border. Will be the first to fight if Russia invades.

Midi Health’s cure for structural oppression is a supplement. Why their cortisol support supplement is shit. open.substack.com/pub/vajenda/...

The most important thing I've ever learned on the internet.

incredible and shameful there isn’t international condemnation of the united states for collective punishment of 10 million people

Part of statement from B.C. Premier David Eby: "As a country, it's time to stop rewarding bad behaviour. It cannot be the case that the projects that get prioritized in Canada are those where a Premier threatens to leave the country."

Great blue herons are always so cool... until they look at you. Then its just like, oh...

I’m sorry but “everyone is going to use AI to code their own apps” sounds like “everyone is going to learn HTML and code their own websites.“ like … have you met people? no they’re not

Today, we celebrate our eighth birthday alongside 7,300 members — a milestone we thought impossible as layoffs and AI erode public trust. And we’ve set a goal to welcome 80 new members in time for our special day. Will you join our eighth birthday celebration? 🎁 🎂 thenarwhal.ca/bsky-member/

my entire internet life has been spent running from one shitty billionaire ruined platform to another Bluesky will inevitably be ruined by rich assholes too running up and yelling "bubble!" at people taking a five second breather from this insufferable cycle is annoying and inane

Extreme Fire Risk Alert – Saskatoon Region. Meewasin urges everyone to use extreme caution as fire danger conditions are very high across the Saskatoon region. Strong winds, warm temperatures, and extremely dry grasses have created conditions where fires can start easily and spread rapidly. #yxe

I knew I’d find a use for this eventually

folx, I’ve been working on AI "ethics" for almost a decade now & hate to tell you there’s no such thing as "ethical AI" the only "ethical principle" that works is regulating the shit out of the industry & to take back control of our autonomy, fundamental rights, freedoms & right to exist w/out AI

Clouds like this must have a name, right? Anybody know? The streaks seemed much closer to the ground than the fluffy ones #SkySky 🌿

The conspiracy industrial complex is constant, a stupid thrum, and it gears up with every crisis, real and imagined. Covid broke a lot of brains, and showed people how to monetize those brains

The Sask Party voted down Bill 606, giving transparency to the people of rural Saskatchewan on when their hospital is open or closed. This bill would save lives. We keep asking when the Sask Party will listen, after 18 years it’s clear they won’t. We deserve better.

Imagine talking about any other public service this way. Does the government keep public hospitals “afloat”? What about when it gave Marine Atlantic $169 million to support its operations in 24/25? The media does the bidding of those who want to private Canada Post when they adopt this framing.

These workers don’t work for Amazon directly, but the whole supply chain is exploitative #yxe www.ctvnews.ca/saskatoon/ar...

Thanks to the radio for playing One Precious Love by Prairie Oyster shortly after I posted this, it’s been stuck in my head all day

May 5 is Red Dress Day, the national day of awareness and remembrance for missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls and 2SLGBTQ+ people. Today is about honouring those taken and recognizing the ongoing impact on families and communities.
