with all respect: i'm losing touch with what AI does because i have no interest in it and it's not my business. nobody worries about me losing touch with developments in particle physics or artificial bull insemination. it's not my fault the richest guys on earth want me to make their toy my life

In #SK Scott Moe is bankrupting us to revitalize COAL production and allowing a new gas power plant (to be built adjacent to Regina, a migratory bird sanctuary, post secondary campuses, and a golf course) for a data centre. And he is pushing a nuclear future while actively suppressing renewables.

I don’t begrudge anybody using—even enthusiastically—LLMs for coding. They’ve become mandatory in many workplaces. But if you’re promoting or normalising generative models then you’re allied with religious extremists, fascists, and grifters and you’ve already picked a side opposing the rest of us

It’s so tedious, this rah rah coming from Americans who don’t have a hot clue about Carney’s attacks on research, science, the arts, and so much more. If these Americans would stop talking about countries they don’t understand, they might realize Carney has more in common with Trump than not.

This is great for them. The only thing that could make it better would be if the companies building data centers would have to ensure an excess of renewable energy generation to put into the grid for free.

It sure is, if there is political will (spoiler: there isn't). What Canada got in return for that bill was the honour to be able to do free commerce with the US. Their part of the deal is gone, why should we uphold ours?

The profits go to Apple, which is based in the US. China merely is the source of the labour in cases like these, which means that by buying Apple products you are enriching a US company which in turn exploits workers in China.

"He's not left wing" shouldn't be a surprise: liberals are not left wing at all. The whole liberal ideology is based on capitalism, which is inherently right wing. The best they can do is acting as a centrist party, which is what they did when Trudeau was the leader.

“You don’t withdraw from the global commons and then say you want to build a middle-power alliance.” A South African can see Carney more clearly here than most Canadians. #CdnPoli
OTTAWA — South Africa’s envoy to Ottawa says Canada’s decision to remove most of its peacekeepers from the continent doesn’t align with the Carney government’s pledge to get middle powers working together.

“I am saddened by the fact that the budget cuts (are) appearing to be a kind of withdrawal of Canada’s commitment towards peace in Africa,” High Commissioner Rieaz Shaik told The Canadian Press.

“You don’t withdraw from the global commons and then say you want to build a middle-power alliance.”
