"how were people writing 10 page papers before AI???" we were smarter than you. you could've been smart, too. but you sold your brain for nothing

You don't say? Who could have possibly forenseen this?https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/aussie-social-ban-age-checks-9.7265833

The OpenAI suit reinforces my view that there are two LLM genders: ChatGPT and Claude. Apple is very Claude. In this schematic, xAI is the incel in the corner, Meta is the 5’7” ChatGPTlet in the corner insecure about its ChatGPT-sculinity. Google is Claude-passing ChatGPT. Microsoft is ChatGPT lite.

I stand with the Tsleil-Waututh on this.

"we only use AI for coming up with ideas" no you don't. you use AI to come up with the a bland version of other people's ideas. there is currently NOBODY more replaceable than you

If you think this story is important, I'd appreciate it if you could post it in any relevant Reddit channel you're active in. Thanks!

just like i think people shouldn’t use an amazon-owned goodreads, a netflix-owned letterboxd should be abandoned too

With the new owners of WB I assume this version is about the whale apologizing and going back to work.

"Last year, Microsoft made $101 billion in profits, got a $12.5 billion tax break from Trump & paid its CEO $96 million. This year, it's raising the price of an XBOX by $150 & eliminating 3,200 jobs. Please don't tell me corporate tax breaks create jobs. It never trickles down." - Sen Bernie Sanders

ICE is engaged in a very large escalation nationwide, with the agency claiming to be hitting record arrest numbers amid the return of quotas. This has gotten very little attention from the media because ICE learned lessons from the chaotic disasters of Kristi Noem’s tenure. Keep a watch.

Why doesn’t Costco serve all day breakfast?

absolutely insane story, and yeah, just looking at this chart... with the exception of maybe two people, this entire class was cheating like motherfuckers

if john oliver gets to be on general hospital then i should get to be on murdoch mysteries demanding that my bosses let me play a character that wears a fun hat and uhhh solves the mysteries it’s possible i need to think this one through

On my way, Clacton.

Mark Carney will go down in history as the best leader in Conservative Party history.

Put your ketchup away USA. You’re going to have to have mayo with your fries from now on

I can't believe they're making me root for Belgium

PSA for everyone reading The Odyssey right now from an English major: please, I implore you to read the Emily Wilson translation. It is the superior version for me. The most direct, literal, and accurate to the source material. I rec the audiobook too that helps you hear the rhythms of the language.

Just unfollowed someone I really respected for making a long post about how AI was continuing to give them wrong answers for hours on end and they just kept using it?!

AI isn't 'inevitable'. Banning and resisting it isn't 'going against the tide'. We can reject this narrative and determine our own future. But it will be a fight, and it will take greater tech literacy. Which tools are bad and which are not? Who are the bad actors? Which politicians are fighting?

When you think about it, a vending machine is just an AI powered piñata.

The conditions nurses have faced are appalling: “One nurse every 16 hours goes off on a WorkSafe BC claim due to violence.” Appropriate staffing levels, security, and stability are paramount to delivering the healthcare system we all deserve. BCNU members — we stand in solidarity with you.

Our landlord hired a new landscaper and didn’t give us a heads up. The fucker came and weed-whacked all my sunflowers and fuchsias. I feel sick to my stomach 😢

Pragmatically killing the Southern Resident Killer Whale population so we can export more oil and gas in a decade to an economy that no longer wants it because everyone else is transitioning to renewables 🤗🤗🤗

Larry is an inspiration.

This line from widow's bay can be used in so many circumstances.

Carney confirms he was delayed by the (climate linked) "biblical weather" in Ottawa on his way to announce a new oil pipeline

Sony tried teasing the upcoming release of ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ All the top comments destroyed them for stopping PlayStation disc production in 2028

Neil should be Earth's representative in the galactic council.

Happy Canada Day 🇨🇦. Don’t ever say I’m not patriotic:

City of Vancouver Comms team to council: “Just be normal and post something nice about Canada Day” Lenny Zhou, disparaging a fellow councillor and posting AI slop:

"Consent is not a nuisance, and it is worth protecting." SAG-AFTRA President Sean Astin testified before a House Judiciary Subcommittee in support of the NO FAKES Act, continuing the fight to protect every person's right to control their own voice and likeness.

Unbelievable game play by team Mexico. An incredible win

You hollow clown. By a 5-4 decision, the highest court in the land has barely managed to affirm the plain language of the Constitution and you think it's time to breathe deep and enjoy the fireworks.

when you’re a win against morocco away from the quarterfinals

The Round of 16 is only reserved for true footballing nations like Canada and not mid-tier casual expanded-tournament merchants like Germany and the Netherlands

Canadian residents & citizens; I would highly recommend signing this one

Whether or not BC’s nurses choose to strike, their resilience in the face of difficult negotiations and a healthcare system that is brutal for workers has been inspiring. The BC NDP must show up with a contract that offers truly dignified, safe workplaces. Solidarity forever.

If one these fuckers comes near me I'm gonna curb stomp its ass

Game over. It will NEVER get better than this. #WorldBollardAssociation

It's high improbable, but not impossible, that there could be a Canada/Australia World Cup final. And I would be extremely torn as who to go for.

"You know, I'm something of a Skyrim merchant myself."

still waiting for AI to solve climate change

Any other @onecityvan.bsky.social members out there who are concerned about the party/candidates being real quiet about the proposed AI data centres here in Vancouver? @copevancouver.bsky.social has been at the forefront of the resistance on this and OneCity's silence is concerning

I'm looking to interview young social media users who would be impacted by Canada's proposed ban for under 16s, for an article in @thetyee.ca . If this is you, or a young person you know, please reach out! FYI: I will need a parent or guardian's permission for the interview.

when people talk about AI used in moderation of social media posts, you must remember there is always the human-in-the-loop, often a woman, often in the Global South, always dehumanised and forgotten 1/n www.theguardian.com/global-devel...
