We spend a lot of time in Canada watching what crazy shit is going on is US politics, but sometimes don't pay enough attention to our own.
Take a look at what's on the table. There's some stuff here that should worry you.

Good commentary on the recent "AI"-related troubles of this year's Worldcon. It remains a general rule that you should not trust Large Language Models to produce accurate information. They're not designed to produce accurate information. They're designed to produce statistically probable sentences.
