Interesting article. I have noted this for a while. The problems with AI are the problems with capitalism. It is the first technology fully able to grow and feed itself like capitalism... growing infinitely, without control, until we stop it. Until we stop them. redflag.org.au/article/the-...

The problems of AI are the problems of capitalism
The fundamental problem with AI is that capitalists control it and it is subject to the system’s prevailing conditions of profit maximisation, competition, imperial rivalry and more.

Canada has the longest coastline on Earth. We are an ocean nation. That’s why we’re backing front-line conservation efforts with more than $1 billion to protect them. Our oceans shaped the Canada we know today — and how we treat them will shape our future.

The anger and emotion displayed by some Republicans when they're wrong is worse than that they turn out to be wrong so often. Please, check your facts. #EricSchmitt

It's fascinating to watch Eric Schmitt embarrass himself by confusing the names of sports teams... and insisting that the defendant perjured himself (not to mention "dirtbag"). Yet Schmitt was wrong. I'm surprised he didn't stamp his foot and start crying. This is what Trump has done to Republicans.

Unfortunately Trump has a way of claiming things that are not true, and insisting they are true until the other side is worn down. He is, after all, the arbiter of Truth. Yes, his followers are deplorable. But they are powerful.

My only comment is that a whole generation of *Canadian* kids is learning to never take crap from a bully. Too many American kids are learning to loudly hate the bully... while quietly enjoying the benefits of standing behind the bully.
