"Do not feed the LLMs" was posted on the sign, but no one paid any heed. Yes, I'm critical of AI and irrational exuberance.
Me? Something between a would-be modern Renaissance man and dilettante. Also, Canadian.

I wouldn't be surprised if the NDP joins the CPC in bringing down the Carney government, only to have Poilievre become the next PM.

They're also perpetuating a neoliberal libertarian myth, that if someone is hungry, it's their own fault because a(n absurd) solution of growing food at home is so easy. This puts all blame on the individual.

To any propspects, I recommend checking the erosion rate along with sea level rise for PEI before committing to the island (a glorified sand bar) for long-term storage. A study estimated it would take 10ky for the island to disappear due to coastal erosion.

The nonartistic don't seem to appreciate how much of a probability engine that AI is. If an AI spits something out, it's by definition among the most likely outputs, the most derivative. I predict movies will become increasingly mediocre if AI accelerates script rewrites during shooting.

This is a red heifer, correct? That's basically one of the ritual magic steps toward construction of the Third Temple, which in turn is part of the Second Coming summoning.

I wouldn't be surprised if social media troll farms were already mobilized to synergistically sync with and amplify the lie. Kirk himself hired troll farm Rally Forge to spread disinformation for the 2018 midterms.

That sounds in line with a push to increase the extent of authoritarian power. Already mainstream media has willingly whitewashed Kirk's ideological stances and shifts. If the mainstream media can be suborned to fully align with received ideology, media message control would be more total.
