Canada did a consultation on a new national AI strategy, formed an expert task force to write 32 reports, then used AI to analyze the responses & reports. The result is a summary that strings together 100s of vague action items & flattens nuance and policy trade-offs into false consensus

I don't think my parents had an alternate name for me, but the great-grandfather Charles I was named after was actually Chaskel short for Yechezkel which is equivalent to Ezekiel. So I could have been... Zeke?
introduce yourself with the name your parents almost gave you
When I was 15 my parents told me they were going to name me Shannon if I'd been born a girl (as if Ryan wasn't Irish enough).
ME: "So… you picked out two UNISEX first names, for two different genders?"

This is EXACTLY what I'm seeing all over downtown. Sidewalks where 70-90% is plowed well, peppered with awful choke points that are completely impassable, sometimes made worse by pairs of little tire tracks.

This film I saw at Inside Out, Really Happy Someday, just dropped on Crave today.
It's about a musical theatre performer who pauses their career to transition and has to relearn their voice. Excellent film, worth your time.

Nope. Son of Holocaust survivor. My father was 11 when the Nazis invaded his hometown in eastern Poland. He survived only by fleeing to a different city with a false baptismal certificate. The comparison is apt. Carry on.

stop using AI to do your research. it hallucinates too often. if you want an answer to something, post something arrogant on the appropriate subreddit. something like: "this item performs 10% better than everything else. only idiots deny this." this will bait nerds into doing your research for you.
