Carney is a conservative.

everything we are seeing now is the consequence of having a political environment in which indifference to the deaths and suffering of other people - even by the state whose supposed responsibility is to safeguard their welfare - is a superpower rather than a political liability

OpenAI ”acknowledged in its own research that LLMs will always produce hallucinations due to fundamental mathematical constraints that cannot be solved through better engineering, marking a significant admission from one of the AI industry’s leading companies.” You can’t trust chatbots.

Man, I want a chicken salad sandwich so bad rn

I told my brother the connection between trans girls and Fallout: New Vegas. He bought the game the other day, and now whenever I message him I get a response of "i'm trying to figure it out." God bless her.

This sort of stuff needs to be made illegal. In the meantime, there is an app called "Nearby Glasses" that scans for meta bluetooth connections and will alert you if you're near one.

People have to realize Carney's speech in Davos was all marketing.

The workers are surrounded on all sides by such a sea of lies in the bourgeois newspapers that they must fight for the truth at all costs, they must learn to recognise falsehoods and reject them.

This right here. The gap between what Carney says and does is huge. You can't nation build by defunding the state.

If the Liberals can't do the easy stuff, they will absolutely not do anything difficult.

I will accept no moral high ground from a government that refuses to ban a platform that is actively, in real time, right in front of our faces, creating child sexual abuse materials. They're not banning it and there are still government departments with official Twitter accounts. Fuck Carney.

Look, I know things are Bad right now, but I want everyone to know that I saw an SUV wrapped in pink Hello Kitty with christmas lights all over.

This is why I don’t trust the "Never Trump" Bulwark guys. They’re perfectly comfortable with real people being harmed, so long as the harm comes via a process they can label “liberal democracy.”

One of the best to ever do it

1 megaton of satellites a year? No clue how much they weigh, but if they're like 500kg, that would be about 2 million satellites a year. Suuuure.

Do a bake sale or something

AI is anti-humanity

1920s: judeo-bolshevism 2020s: islamo-leftism I am begging people to please read a damn history book.

one function of capitalism is to funnel these types into positions of power, because if competent & kind people get into power they start taking from the rich and giving to the poor. capitalist leaders must be either evil or ignorant or both, only by mistake does anyone else get near power

The Epstein story gets a something that is tearing at the heart of the electorate: elite impunity. The idea that wealthy and powerful people can do terrible things *at scale* and face no consequences for them. Whatever political party actually stops it could rule the country for a generation.

feels relevant today

If this is what they are doing with the AI, what do you think they are doing with the much simpler and easier to control algorithm that chooses which posts you see and which of your posts are seen by others?

Nuremburg trials is the moderate position

ah, perhaps instead of pumping millions into endless factional infighting Dem donors could invest in making local Dem organizations genuine civic spaces that can reach people during and between elections

Isn't that 1 out of 87 canadians? Good friggen luck.

If crime is way down, why are Canadians so afraid of crime? And what are politicians funnelling money into? My latest -- they are boosting policing to police us ... not keep us safe (unless you're rich, which trust me, you are not.) noraloreto.substack.com/p/the-big-cr...

i once again would like to express some alarm and concern at the sheer pace of Nazi-related news updates

Love it

Sure could use some of those solar investments and cheap EVs right now.

Ah yes, the old 'civil discouse' of who should be protected from state violence.

I wonder what he's planning on giving away this time.

Literally two or three clicks to send a pre-formed letter to many members of government about the illegal detainment of 3 Canadian citizens by a rogue state in international waters actionnetwork.org/letters/urge...

I don't care how politically aligned we are. If I see you posting AI slop, it's an immediate block.

“And in this respect, I’m coming to understand the AI hype machine as part and parcel of the fascistic project. That’s not an analogy. I’m not saying AI is similar to fascism, or parallel to it. I’m saying AI is fascism.”

Digger revival when?

How, exactly, do the Canadian Armed Forces deploy on operations with an ally who doesn't respect ROEs?

Revolutions are at their core, a civil war.

Starving kids so that we can buy F-35s

"Canada Post is on track to lose money" Hum. Duh. It cost less than a toonie to send a letter across Canada. "Canada Post is a service and not a business" was common knowledge until late stage capitalism brain rotted most people into think if it ain't making money for shareholders, it's failing.

Not all the guards at our concentration camp are Nazis!
