Could not second this hard enough.
I considered writing a long carefully constructed argument laying out the harms and limitations of AI, but instead I wrote about being a hater. Only humans can be haters.
I Am An AI Hater
I am an AI hater. This is considered rude, but I do not care, because I am a hater.

This has gotta be some of the most important local journalism in recent memory for Vancouver. Bombshell reporting that deserves the label.

This reflects very poorly on the Vancouver Police Department, which isn't being forthcoming about questionable assault numbers continually promoted ahead of the last municipal election

"the lawsuit is unfair because if the Court accurately counts the number of people we stole from we will look very bad and may end up owing them a lot of money"
oh my gosh their arguments against this being a class action lawsuit are so goofy. its bad because "seven million claimants would kill the company" and "it would be difficult to figure out the rights and compensation for each of the 7 million" so whyd you steal from 7 million people??? dingus!

Deeply embarrassing how this Bob The Angry Flower comic from 1999 continues to accurately call out AI journalism.

Eby knows this is unconstitutional, which is why the government didn't legislate it.
yeah it's to placate the B-Cons, but these are people. and this is more police state shit.

I'm just saying that if I were a pre-modern government official and a new monarch's reign started with an omen that was the era equivalent of an army helicopter colliding with a passenger jet over the Potomac, I would quit my post and go live in the mountains for 20 years.
