"The cornerstone of [Canada's] current strategy is sacrificing our dollars, water and energy in order to become more dependent on America, in a weird and improbable bet that we will figure out how to make millions of Canadians unemployed. I'm sorry, that just doesn't sound like a great idea to me."

TL;DR: streamer Charlie/moistcritikal/penguinz0 blew the whistle on an obvious scam being promoted by the head mod of r/Livestreamfail, who was then removed from their position. Said mod then posted a vid that... has to be seen to be believed.

These are totally unsupported claims with no links, citations or even statements like “sources familiar with the matter.” I read basically every single story about AI efficacy at big companies, especially salesforce. These are either made up or egregious extrapolations of things.

The poor have been systematically starved, social safety nets erased, rents/prices have skyrocketed, & jobs are gone since the pandemic. It’s absolutely no excuse, but this is how a huge pool of desperate morons was created for recruitment.
