It is disheartening and dissonance provoking to see
@pressprogress.ca using synthetic images while claiming to hold the rich and powerful accountable & to expose unsafe & unfair workplaces, bigotry etc. Choosing GenAI imagery is to be complicit in an industry founded on those principles.

Indeed, another "Elbows Up" (ass-kissing) techno-surveillance gesture by Carney's govt, which also has a zest for surveillance and is no doubt using it in similar capacity as US govt. 6/6

The data that Zonos collects. Pretty much everything, including geolocation and gender, because, you know, gender is important when mailing packages. 5/6

When mailing package from Canada to US bc Trump's tariff scheme, you're obliged to download a sketchy app to pay tariffs in advance. Clerk told me if under $100, there's generally no tariff, but still obliged to register on app. Data *may* be stored in the US.
Spoiler: did not send package. 1/6

At first glance the brittle gray urban landscape below made me think of aerial images of Gaza destroyed by aerial bombings. Maybe bc such aerial images dominate data sets on which GenAI models are trained. Fitting how the AI "architects" sit above a world they helped destroy.

It was also frustrating to see almost every mayoral candidate calling for more surveillance and body cams, but notably sketchy was the "voluntary registry of private surveillance cameras" proposed by Ensemble Mtl, whose circuit would then be covered by a couple hundred STM "special constables."

“We can point that large language model at an entire treasure trove [of data],” Kevin Elder [Securus Technologies president] says, “to detect and understand when crimes are being thought about or contemplated, so that you’re catching it much earlier in the cycle.”

If you look at who we invited to the table as part of the task force you can clearly see that all academics love AI. QUESTION: were there any critical AI scholars on the AI national task force? 👀

WHEN we decide to regulate the AI industry, we will make sure that our well-paid ministers in the dept of heritage take care of the deepfake stuff, and the folks in the dept. of justice have offered to make a few laws about that, so you know, we good.

Here is a very enraging and unimaginative little promo about Canada's AI Minister's vision of AI and the university (aka "AI for All") featured in the latest issue of University Affairs.

The bit about the criticism of no actual scientists attending this ahem "health" conference with the "most powerful man in science" as per the Atlantic is included in the section dedicated to the merits of beef tallow. More very serious journalism to add to this week's archive of news compost.

This conference seems really in touch with the general population. We will all benefit from the wisdom and practices of the likes of Russel Brand and the weird eternal guy and his constant diet of plasma.
