"Canada strong", "national interest", "sovereignty", "Orange Scary Bad Man" -- all propaganda to get Canadians to accept the erosion of climate protections, food security, labour rights, Indigenous rights, the public sector, and public ownership. And all working very well indeed.

An individual in Canada used ChatGPT for eight months to plan one of the country’s worst mass shootings. Yet, if you listen to politicians and media, the real threat of AI is a fantastical scenario where it might wipe out humans in ten years. They need to stop getting fooled by tech deceivers.

The media has the AI threat all wrong
Generative AI is harming people today. We don’t need to waste time fantasizing about science fictional scenarios.

After C-39, anyone still defending Carney as our saviour is in a cult. The Overton window has shifted so far right that I've seen him referred to as the "leader of the resistance" and "Obi Wan Kenobi". Limiting the right to strike, gutting environment and wildlife protections, privatizing airports..

AP Stylebook warns against anthropomorphizing AI systems: “Avoid language that gives them human characteristics… Instead, explain what a system does, how well it performs, who built it and who could be affected by it.”
APStylebook @APStylebook

Artificial intelligence systems do not think, feel, want or understand. Avoid language that gives them human characteristics. This is called anthropomorphizing, when we ascribe human traits, emotions or behaviors to non-human things, such as animals or inanimate objects.
Instead, explain what a system does, how well it performs, who built it and who could be affected by it.

You don’t have to soften critique of so-called “AI” with weird appeals to vague ideas about it having “some uses”. There aren’t any (really) that even remotely justify negative impacts. You can just say “this stuff is poison and I don’t think we should drink it” when looking at the Kool-Aid.

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.

I'm not here for people defending Mark Carney's praise of John A. MacDonald and Samuel de Champlain. Or his use of the terms "blood" and "soil" in speeches. If you don't grasp why these things are problematic because of how they sound to white nationalists and Indigenous folks, that's your problem.

Bruce McAllister is a senior advisor to Alberta's premier. He hosted the anti-immigrant Alberta Next Panels. He attacked Senator Paula Simons for calling out the racist referendum questions. Now he's openly supporting an extremist white nationalist party's racist anti-immigration policy.
Bruce McAllister: Finally someone on a major stage saying it out loud instead of hiding behind slogans. Shout it from the rooftops please Alice!
You can’t run a welfare state, bring in millions who need support, and keep energy prices this high without the books blowing up. It’s also tearing up the social fabric and native culture. People are waking up. Now watch the mainstream media ignore all of it - while twisting themselves into pretzels labelling her alt-right anyway.Shannon Phillips: The AfD is the far-right party in Germany that German intelligence services have classified as extremists, Bruce. 

Multiple intelligence services have documented AfD ties to the Kremlin.
