Cannot fucking believe an external 4TB SSD drive that cost me $200 last year is now $1100. Had to check receipts to make sure. They’re really out there trying to keep you from having a PC, phone, or a gaming console so they can have hallucinating, polluting chatbots that drop bombs on kids’ schools.

“I saw a strange thing today. The New York Times reported on the video the White House posted of Trump dropping shit on protestors. But they wouldn’t confirm the video was AI generated. And they wouldn’t use the word ‘shit’.” “What does that tell you?” “They could lose.”

Unpopular opinion, maybe: "AI Slop" is forcing us to note the distinction of 'Art' vs 'Craft' (in our culture, we tend to conflate the two). AI copies the 'Craft'. Not the 'Art'. It's possible to be awesome at drawing, but not be an 'Artist'. It's possible to write, but not be an 'Author'.

Say no to the golden handcuffs. This is a multibillion scam that will force Canada further into the military "protection" of the authoritarian regime in Washington. It is about making us a vassal state. We need to put the protection of our interests as top priority for military investments.

Pierre Poilievre managed to go thru all that — years of campaigning on the public dime; the most important election in modern Canadian history; losing a historic lead in the polls with historic speed; losing his own riding — ALL without actually proving that he could pass the normal security check.

If I've been running an election campaign for three years on the taxpayers' dime and then another guy comes in and starts leading in the polls after only a few weeks of campaigning the smartest thing I can do is get the former leader of my party that hasn't won in a decade to say I'm awesome sauce.

Guys, I’m no political strategist but I’m not sure hauling out the guy who described Canada as “content to become a second-tier socialistic country” desperate “to mask its second-rate status” in an article entitled “Separation, Alberta style” is a good read of the room.
