Dear Advertisers etc
If you're going to use a Maple Leaf as a symbol to indicate Buy Canadian, or We Stand With Canada..
Use the right goddamned Tree!
The symbol on our flag isn't a Norway Maple, a Silver Maple, or a Manitoba Maple
Just keep in mind what Maple products are we known for

as a computer scientist, i am BEGGING people to realize that there is no cognition inside of an LLM
no reasoning, no thought process, no self-awareness
I read a lot of arguments (for AND against) LLMs, and both sides seem to think there’s a consciousness or intentionality or even a moral alignment

RtWingsplaining is similar to Mansplaining, but is also aimed at men; and while it has the usual dismissive, patronizing feel, it adds a condescending twist even the most misogynistic Incel can't manage
