I'm convinced the PP who was in BC with Carney the other day is from the same clone factory as the current Avril
PP actually just argued that food prices are high, in part, because Ottawa has banned plastics that are the best things we have for preserving food. Holy shit! My kitchen, with all it's sealable containers and freezer bags is full of contraband! I'm going to jail!

Maybe the finance minister can suggest the health minister spend on public health care and not private clinics.

Gemini has a bad habit of suggesting statements beginning with "I'm sorry you feel that way, but..." as a way to deescalate conflicts. I correct it, it agrees it's "The ultimate non apology apology" but new session? It does it again. In the time spent checking accuracy I can write the thing myself.
Generative AI is an engine for churning out contaminated information faster than people can produce safe information, let alone fact check and correct it.
And corrections never remove the original contamination, it's an attempt to stem the metaphorical bleeding and hope for the best. 11/

That is an incredible pull quote from Meta, jesus. Masks fully coming off.
Facebook plans to put facial recognition in its glasses and they think we’re too stupid to fight back.
Their internal memo: “We will launch during a dynamic political environment where many civil society groups that we would expect to attack us would have their resources focused on other concerns.”

I see "Election Truth Alliance" is back to posting innuendo so this is a reminder that they are a grift operation using dodgy stats analysis and carefully disingenuous wording to raise money "for lawsuits" with zero financial disclosure.

Nothing to see here, just the stock trader general sitting where the attorney general is supposed to be.
Bondi crashes out over Epstein: "The Dow is over 50,000 dollars! I don't know why you're laughing. You're a great stock trader as I hear, Raskin. The Dow is over 50,000 right now. The S&P at almost 7,000, and the Nasdaq smashing records. That's what we should be talking about."

Is Mayor Olivia Chow ‘raiding’ Toronto’s reserves in the 2026 budget?
Coun. Brad Bradford is accusing the mayor of using the city's bank accounts to "buy Torontonians' votes" with an artificially low tax rate. Do his allegations have any merit?

These numbers speak for themselves.
Over a three-year span, a surgical device (without AI) was reported to the FDA seven times for malfunctioning and once for causing injury (unconfirmed).
Since AI was added in 2021 there have been at least 100 reports of malfunctions and adverse patient events.
