I vote for just shutting down the internet when we reach this stage. - no people asked for AI. What's behind eveeg company shoving it down our collective throats www.cnbc.com/amp/2025/07/...
If AI attempts to take over world, don't count on a 'kill switch' to save humanity
Attempts to destroy AI to stop a superintelligence from taking over the world are unlikely to work. Humans may have to persuade AI into saving us.

You can tell which cereals are made in #Canada by seeing which ones are NOT on sale! I’m switching from #Cheerios to 🇨🇦 #shreddies. Stand up for our sovereignty and boycott the Elon musk American regime! Looking at all the cereal boxes I was surprised how many of them are imported from the empire.

#Vancouver has been left behind in development by every town surrounding it. The suburb is now The City! #burnaby #brentwoodtowncentre

The #Broadwayplan is a scam to remove the affordable housing from the city and replace it all with luxury high rises so developers and owners make money. - gentrification is inevitable but the way this is being engineered and pushed by the city is despicable! #vanpoli m.youtube.com/watch?v=1WKj...
Is this the City we want to build? Teaser 2

I hate when companies make their OTP codes in emails be html and not text, so you can’t copy/paste the code. I’m looking at you #rogers
