Carney is truly the Reagan of Canada. A calming, paternalistic figure in a period of apocalyptic uncertainty who galvanizes the economy with short-sighted right wing fiscal policies. And like Reagan, every disaster that Canada encounters in the future will be traceable to his administration.

“If you are staring at an example of social disorder or social inefficiency, and the left refuses to explain either why it has happened or how they will fix it, then the right gets to point at someone in the immediate area and say, ‘That’s who did it.’” crazy how much Mamdani speaks my language

One of the saddest aspects about living in the U.S. during current Federal fascism is how clearly bored so many people are. Bored and feeling profoundly powerless. How else can the daily social media pile-ons for every and anything be explained?

A reminder Carney's agenda remains a militaristic climate killing and antidemocratic one. He will use all this to further and even expand this agenda. We still need to fight him on this.

It doesn't even work well to find cancer before doctors. The pitch AI radiology companies make is with the most obvious mistakes possible and radiologists don't find it that useful as they either over-rely on it or don't rely on it at all.

Scaling back military exercises is a rational decision that Trump has arrived at for the wrong reasons so of course liberals are going into right-winger mode and sounding like birchers.

Some people have memories longer than a goldfish. The employees demanded that the magazine be owned by them with him as an equal and he declined. They weren't collective bargaining or organizing and demanding that someone step down as a leader is not something to be taken lightly.

See also the term "activist scholar," which is applied derogatorily to academics who use their expertise to advocate for Left-leaning policy, but not to Right-leaning academics, even if they take money from Right-wing groups or advocate for Right-wing causes based on dubious evidence or none at all.

The modern era is full of the bizarre argumentative phenomenon of aggressive fragility. Instead of puffing oneself up as strong, one posits oneself as glass-doll weak, such that any opposition (any talk one dislikes existing) is to be seen as unethical attack. Literally pathetic.

Updated with comment from LinkedIn executive. The button will help train LinkedIn's models for identifying AI slop www.404media.co/linkedin-int...
After publication of this piece, Hari Srinivasan, chief product officer at LinkedIn, wrote their own post about the button. “AI slop is a top priority for all of us. We really care about this. People come to LinkedIn to connect with real people and share their real perspectives, ideas and expertise. Here are a few more changes to keep it that way,” he wrote.

The button in part will help LinkedIn tune its own models for identifying AI slop. “We are ramping up a series of new and improved classifiers that identify if a post is AI-slop or generally low-quality content. This will reduce the amount of AI slop you might see in suggested content and content from outside your network,” the post said. “We are ramping the ability for members to tell us if they believe a post or comment seems like AI slop. Slop is hard to define and the definition changes; this lets us tune our models and make better feeds.”

www.anthropic.com/news/claude-... If they care about teachers they’d offer free books, AC or pay for school lunches. They’d fund museums or the arts. I’ve been fighting edtech for 10 years and I’m tired of how U.K. teachers especially just let Trojan horses in the gate. None of this is good.

I seriously think that my boss has AI psychosis. His entire management style is just to tell employees to use AI and he puts massive contracts into AI instead of reviewing them. One of my co-workers failed their probation and got fired because he didn’t train her and she made a mistake.

One thing that we’ve learned over and over again in the last like 5-10 years is that politicians and leaders are no more resistant to online brain worms than the average person, yet nobody’s really sure what we can do to prevent it. I’ve read troubling things about Putin as well.

This sums up the frantic and coerced deployment of "AI" throughout public and private sectors. Results of even cursory audits are horrifying every time, invariably paired with forced adoption and retaliation for asserting professional norms. Colonialism is a cherry on top.
Specific allegations in the lawsuit include that Mayo researchers tried to cover up or ignore research results showing that the health system’s MAYA digital assistant tool had a 67% error rate. In a separate situation, Eto claimed she opposed the use of a high-risk investigational medical device for a cardiac surgery because it hadn’t been properly vetted by an IRB; she said her supervisor ignored her objection and approved the use of the AI-enabled device for a surgery in another country.
