Martin Sellner deserves the exact same welcome as Marcus Follin & Paul Waggener. It's absurd that someone permanently banned from the UK & temporarily banned from Germany for right-wing extremism might have the option to enter Canada.
Tweet from Marcus Follin (The Golden One)

Some say I am too eloquent and magnificent to  hold a speech at a conference (I agree)! I was detained and interrogated. I gave the good officer a lesson in metapolitics and perhaps I have a new subscriber now. Obviously, I have done nothing wrong. I have no criminal record. So this was just a clear example of anarcho-tyranny (to be expected by the Canadian regime). All of the policemen (and women) I dealt with were friendly and attentive (they were generous with food and drink, especially an older Slavic man). Perhaps they were ashamed of the orders they got. The orders did, of course, come from above (not from the police themselves). No exact reason was given either (as always). During the quite long detention (20 or so hours) I amused myself with breathing exercises, meditation, yoga, and reading. Quite an unpleasant experience to be honest, but you can always make the most of any situation. I am glad to leave this place and head back to Holy Europe (which I do not intend to leave soon). Telegram post from Exiles of the Golden Age conference.

Having witnessed the the disgraceful treatment of the Golden One [Marcus Follin], detained and denied entry into Canada without cause, Paul has decided to not risk attempting entry himself, as he would certainly face similar treatment from Canadian authorities hell-bent on restricting free speech and association.

I went on OpenAI's first ever brand trip last week. It was awesome. And posting about it introduced me to the shocking AI psychosis running rampant online. 

How do I say this? I live firmly in the real world. 

With people who participate in society, pay their bills and work to make their lives better for themselves and their families. 

If any of these people don't like the idea of AI (ahem my mother), they talk about it or they don't. They use it or they don't. They do not run around like a chicken with their heads cut off, screaming about water usage and wildlife and (curiously) fascism. 

I genuinely had no idea that people were this anti-AI. This steeped in misinformation about it. This crazed by the idea of it ruining the planet.

If I had, I probably wouldn't have made a video talking about the trip while running a bath...

But alas I did not know. I thought it was incredibly exciting to get to be in the room with the people shaping how this technology gets used. I thought people would be interested in the behind the scenes tips and tricks. I didn't for one second consider it could be controversial. 

And what gets my goat, honestly, is that every single of the commenters is on a smartphone. Most are wearing clothes made in factories with poor working conditions if not child labor. Most use Amazon. Most drive by litter and don't pick it up. Most eat at restaurants that don't recycle. They're all on either Instagram or Tik Tok- two of the most addicting, extractive (if not straight up corrupt) …
