Useful context for Alberta’s anti-inmigrant referendum questions. We are not being “flooded” with newcomers. And scapegoating immigrants for longstanding structural problems with our public health care system, in particular, is gutter politics. #cdnpoli #abpoli #notothenine.

The websites present crude, AI-generated slop disguised as the voice of real Albertans. But they're made in Florida — and they're not even targeting Albertans directly.

Classic meme of a red-herford cow standing ankle-deep in ocean surf in the bottom left corner of the composition. This is overlayed with a translucent mirror image of only the cows head, facing the opposite direction at the upper right-hand corner. 

The cow looks pensive af, and the text reads "I can't go the rest of my life along if it's AI or not."

Screenshot of a small post on the Yahoo! Finance Markets Blog, written by Ones Ferré. It is titled "Meets to resolutely track, curb employee usage of tokens as AI costs mount." 
The body of text reads:
 "Meta (META) plans to limit employees' use of tokens in AI, according to The Information. 

The company is reportedly building a platform to track how many tokens employees use, including setting budgets and limits, to call rising AI-related costs."

The piece of text within that that reads "according to The Information" is hyperlinked to the original article at The Information. That hyperlink is:

I'm trying to follow the logic of our AI lords here, but I'm struggling. So we should massively invest in AI, based on the promise that it will automate all jobs. It works: job apocalypse, the economy is crashed; it doesn't work: financial crash, the economy is crashed. Win-win.
