Handing more money and more of our public assets over to big corporations won't lower costs for Canadians, and it won't make our country stronger. Add your name to tell Mark Carney, Canada is not for sale: ndp.ca/canada-is-no...

Across the US, workers are souring on AI. The tech industry has insisted that AI would make workers’ lives easier and more productive, that the more people understood and used AI, the more they would like it. Something closer to the opposite has happened.

Why office workers are turning against AI
Whether or not you like AI at work ultimately boils down to a question of power.

A pipeline funded by…. you. This is a government pipeline with a mere 10% stake from private investment. And jobs? Last year 10k Albertan oil workers were laid off as production skyrocketed. Call it what it is — a handout for the dying fossil fuel industry.

Musk has a long history of getting away with things others would not. After a year of becoming openly fascist, contributing to the deaths of hundreds of thousands, and now enabling the proliferation of child pornography, that must end. Ban X. Put Musk behind bars. disconnect.blog/elon-musks-x...
Musk has a long history of getting a pass because of the profile he’s built up over the past couple decades, and the wealth that has come with it. Now that he maintains close links with a US government that has made opposing regulatory enforcement of social media companies a key part of its foreign policy, some governments are even more hesitant to act against him. But in a moment like this, the choice becomes quite stark: do governments exist to serve the public or cower at the feet of Elon Musk?

The answer should be an easy one at any time. But especially after a year where Musk has made his fascist politics clear, taken actions that have conservatively killed hundreds of thousands of people, sought to interfere in the politics of countries the world over, and now created a chatbot that makes it easy to generate child pornography, there’s no reason for political leaders to stay on Musk’s good side.

It’s time to ban X, and hopefully one day see Musk behind bars for his crimes.
