Why is our PM so terrible at his job?!
Instead of protecting Canadians from scams, Mark Carney’s Liberals are planning to develop a framework for stablecoins after crypto billionaires spent big to buy one in the United States.

The government claims it will “benefit men and youth by improving prosperity and good governance.” 🫠

Prof. Hinton is so concerned about what our future with AI holds, that he’s spearheading a foundation and is hosting a series of lectures exploring the risks of AI.

Troubling stuff.

The U.S. is far ahead of its nuclear adversaries in research and data about nuclear warheads, and experts believe explosive testing is not only strategically unnecessary, but, as several put it, “insane.”

Wow. This is 🤯

I had no idea these conversational AI agents could make one go down an insanity rabbit hole SO easily and convincingly.

Not lost on me the use of scientific sounding words to push the bunk its spewing to convince this fellow he's on the "right path".

This is dangerous.
OK, so I'm already in the bag for shitting on gpt but this is a perfect illustration of how modern AI systems are designed to maximise engagement over anything.

The LLM thing is remarkable because if anyone was like "I never went to medical school anyway here's my magic anti disease device pls give 100 billion" they'd be laughed out the room or beaten with sticks but we're supposed to let guys who never read a book hand us an app claiming it'll write them

or.... they could just go back to "woke"?
"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper.

They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.

If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help."

Trump's tariffs are hurting us in two ways:

First, the obvious: Higher costs → either lower profits or higher prices.

Second, more subtle (perhaps bigger): We’ve signaled we’re an unreliable partner, so allies are reorganizing supply chains to avoid us. That's hard to unwind.

Latino human rights matter only when y’all’s pockets suffer?
The big difference between Trump's first term and second is that he didn't burn down a strong economy with tariffs last time around. It's a lot easier for voters to overlook his bigoted nonsense and authoritarian bluster when they feel good about material conditions.
