= this is happening in a virtually lawless environment. One caveat - the Charter and Aboriginal rights cannot be overridden by legislation, so still apply.

2 key legal changes since TMX, re the new pipeline: 1 - ministers can now exempt anyone from any law, other than the criminal code 2 - "national interest" designation comes with automatic approval for all other permits - species at risk act, etc (a long term big oil wishlist item)..

today's essential read for all Canadians. “Human rights and respect for constitutionally protected Aboriginal rights and title, in addition to Indigenous Peoples’ right to self-determination, must not be spun as inconveniences to Canada’s economic aspirations,”

Carney’s first “national interest” project is an oil pipeline through Indigenous territories. Consent was not part of the announcement.

I’ve been thinking about this story and wondering what my abusive ex would have done if he had been able to get his hands on gAI. The violations, abuse, harassment that this tech can and does enable just make for a really dark present and future. And the people in charge of this tech just don’t care

I really hate the "you can't judge AI until you've used it!" narrative because 1st of all, you don't need to breathe asbestos to know it ain't good, and 2nd of all, I use it and I hate it. It's always the most aggravating part of my work day. It's not that impressive if you're not easily impressed.

The next five graphs are even less convincing, and the argumentation becomes even weaker. It was almost impossible for me to imagine how a seemingly intelligent person could have written it—but I found a secret clue buried in the text itself.

A.I. has the potential to enhance the way we live in the same way. It saved me and my colleague, Will McGrew, many hours of prowling the internet to research this essay. That left us with time to do other tasks.

There is no moral equivalence between bullies and the bullied, between tyranny and democracy, or between brutality and decency. No individual can be free in a society devoid of justice. There can be no liberty where brutality reigns.

I've heard people make claims that AI would lead to a new Renaissance, but I didn't imagine it'd happen like this:

Screenshot of a Tweet from Pope Leo XIV. It reads:

"In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgen to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity."

AI is an employee who never says no, never talks back, and who has no emotions, so you're free to be an asshole to it without consequence. Certain men have been fantasizing about this for their whole lives. They will happily burn the world down to create it.

Fun facts: 🔥Since 2007, BC’s climate pollution has decreased by 2.3 million tonnes. 🔥Approved LNG export projects will increase BC’s climate pollution by 21.2 million tonnes by 2035. 🔥This is ten times more pollution than we’ve managed to cut in nearly 20 years.

Trends in BC's greenhouse gas pollution from 1990 to 2023, with two projected futures. Approved LNG projects will increase BC's emissions by 21.2 million tonnes. If we meet BC's climate targets emissions will decrease by 80%. From 2007 to 2023 BC has only reduced 2 million tonnes of climate pollution.

I read the ending and I wanted to koolaid man through a wall!!

Screenshot of article which reads: To restore a functioning and
pluralistic democracy in the United States, reversing over a decade of
democratic backsliding in the world’s oldest democracy, the thing to
“fix” is not polarization. Polarization is the country’s immune response
to an unpopular, antidemocratic, and intentionally divisive faction grabbing for disproportionate power to the detriment of national success,
reputation, and democratic self-government. Tamping down that immune response only allows this minority faction to have greater control.

Screenshot of article which reads: But the fury of the argument shows the importance of the outcome.
When we focus on polarization as the problem, the solution is for ev-
eryone to quiet down and be “civil”—an outcome that benefits those
who are willing to grab as much power as they can without concern
for legality or civility. When we see the problem for what it is, the
solution is to defend the most robust social progress in American his-
tory—progress that has already been codified into law and enjoyed
by everyone alike. U.S. democracy needs leaders who are willing to
defend those rights and voters who are willing to hold accountable the
leaders who will not defend them. It does not need everyone simply to calm down.
