AI isn’t tech, it’s an ideology - @ebharrington.bsky.social nails it on the latest episode of @gregolear.bsky.social Prevail. Listen up. podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/p...

I mean … it’s surely more than just reluctance/lack of trust. Wonder what the unions are hearing about the pilot projects. www.extremetech.com/computing/mi...

issuu.com/ontariochamb... Can we talk about how Microsoft is driving the adoption of AI in the Ontario public service. There’s a huge conflict of interest @maritstilesndp.bsky.social

The photographer, Christopher Anderson, deserves all the awards.😂

As an Author, I’ll be seeking a publisher for my next book who does not rely on AI for any aspect of their workflow.

On AI remediation: "The process won't be sexy or exciting. It won't have the fury and momentum of a Gilroy-penned monologue. It'll involve a good amount of bureaucracy and compromise, and likely some criminally low settlement sums and too-small consequences for the people pushing the poison."

Another great thing about this song is how all the kids forced to learn the accordion were suddenly cool.

I have such a random strong memory of walking to work along Queen West early 90’s, listening to this while waiting for the extra long light to change at the corner of Spadina and just danced on the spot. Queen St was like that then.

Looking closely at my electricity bill in Ontario. Rates went up Nov 1 by 28.4% peak hours, 28.6% mid, and 28.9% low. How does the Ford government justify this? @mikeschreiner.bsky.social

Does chat default to spit out conditional *if* apologies? Asking for men.

Amazing that the solution society landed on for the malinformation crisis is apparently to industrialize its production

This is a good take.

Wake up babe, a new way to be horrified by AI just dropped. Talking to a librarian friend back home, she mentions a patron looking for help finding a book she liked as a kid. Super common request. Lady is adamant the title is “something like XYZ and there’s a picture of a rabbit on it.”

Who will replace Guilbeault at Culture? Artists need someone who can out-argue Solomon on the AI file and manage a bunch of global initiatives in that regard. In my dreams: Karina Gould.

This is the 2nd time a major government report from Deloitte has been found to contain errors likely generated by AI. First in Australia and now, as The Independent has confirmed, in a major healthcare policy paper for the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador #nlpoli #AI #deloitte

EPSTEIN BOMBSHELL: my staff is releasing a new report showing JPMorgan Chase executives – all the way to the top – enabled Epstein's sex trafficking operation. You're going to want to read this.

What did *you* do and say to your stuffed animals and dolls as a child? I highly doubt there is any way to make these safe. www.npr.org/2025/11/20/n...

Epstein built an empire of abuse and a whole lot of people just sat in silence and didn’t say anything. The epidemic of violence against women is constructed on a foundation of enabling and turning a blind eye. This post is about the reporters who said nothing when their peer was called ‘Piggy’

These assholes love to blame low adoption by the general public (out of fear or stupidity). Never that their product is crap, unethical, dangerous to the information/knowledge network. Never that they have fought all attempts to regulate. Into the sea, please.
