We made up our minds that "AI is Bad" because IT'S BUILT WITH THE STOLEN SUM TOTAL OF OUR LIFE'S WORK, for which we have received no real recompense or restitution. Our labor is being blatantly exploited to create these products, and I have increasing contempt for people who elide that fact.

Alberta is not a party to the numbered treaties. It was created after them all. It exists because of Canada. And Canada exists because of the treaties. In theory, all First Nations and the Crown as represented by Canada could terminate the treaties. But that’s not anyone who is driving this.
