if you find yourself wondering why so many anti-carceral folks are... less willing to allow rapists the same shot at rehabilitation as, say, murderers, just look at a more concrete example: who would you rather be trapped in a room with overnight, Luigi Mangione or Jacob Geller

The public mood on major projects is more complicated than simply “build, baby, build.” Canadians want more urgency and faster results, but their support is conditional on what gets built, where it gets built and how. Our new op-ed: www.thestar.com/opinion/con...

Canadians support Carney’s big projects — but the government has a catch to address

The public is emboldened by wartime rhetoric that inspired a patriotic urgency to get moving. Now it’s up to the government to start building more, while proving to Canadians it’s

Carney surely knows how investment works. At the very best, someone in government will have to now come up with rules that weren’t clear when Carney invited all these investment bankers to town. At worst, we’ve ended up with a simplistic, airport-privatizing number-go-up policy. 🎁

This is the kind of nuanced analysis of how not all types of private investment are good for Canada should have happened beforehand, as part of a Royal Commission. My worry is that what Prof. Indart identifies as a bug — a lack of attention to these differences — is to Carney a feature.

Canada is open for business, but Carney's investment pitch glosses over a crucial difference

Prime Minister Mark Carney's Toronto summit pitch attracted global attention, writes Gustavo Indart, but not all foreign, private investments are created equally.

Fellow FTX executive Caroline Ellison is out of jail, and the Manifund effective altruist grantmaking organization has just let slip they hired her. She “brings specific, useful expertise around finance”, they say, which yeah — much in the same way that Bernie Madoff had very specific expertise.

FTX essentially bankrolled Manifund and the associated Manifold Markets (think Polymarket but with fake money) through grants and investments. This may explain why Chen, citing a “keen debt” to FTX, decided to hire Ellison and pay her using funds derived from her fraud — money Manifund is currently fighting the FTX estate over rather than returning to creditors.17

sins and crimes aren't the same thing, being shamed and shunned socially because you've harmed members of the community is not the same as being incarcerated. You haven't lost freedom when you are shunned, you have lost the trust of your community. Losing a public platform/job is neither of these.

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."

Sounds great.

According to experts I interviewed, the internet is about to get more frustrating. These agents may cause a cascading chain of problems that shake the foundations of digital infrastructure. Chances are good that you're about to live through an era of online chaos.
The internet was built for humans with limited time and patience. AIs don't have those restraints. You'll probably have to fight with robots over concert tickets and booking appointments. Small businesses could drown in machine-made pestering. AIs don't look at ads, and websites that rely on them are already crumbling. You'll be buried in endless loops of proving you're human. And if you use these AI tools, some may betray you.
