They quoted me in this New Yorker piece about AI today. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...
“Let’s say there’s a world or time line I exist in where A.I. has been subject to regulation. It is ethical. It has no footprint environmentally,” the novelist Jeff VanderMeer, a prominent critic of A.I., told me over the phone. “With those guardrails in place, would I read an A.I. book? All I can say is no. And the reason is, in part, because I want to read something coming from a particular mind.” Using A.I., he said, “feels like a betrayal of the whole point of why you’re a writer.”

Incroyable, et ces journalistes ont été témoins de la montée de t et de la complicité des médias aux USA et ils répètent la même recette ici, avec nos politiciens populistes.

9 Translated from Ukrainian by Grok
In Oleshky, the Armed Forces of Ukraine dropped 4 tons of food supplies at night. A photo from an Oleshky resident—she found a box in her garden in the morning. She says it was scary at night; drones were flying low. She woke up—her heart was pounding, hid against the wall. And in the morning, such a find: canned fish, canned meat, oil, sugar, grains.

I felt bad for them (it's on the TLMEP producers, frankly) asking such an ignorant question. Can't wait for Chantal Hébert to put them in their place.

"Fascism Doesn’t Always Arrive by Force. Sometimes It Comes as Law" A visit to the National Holocaust Museum in Amsterdam showed me how changes in the law were used by the Nazis to push their agenda. It’s a warning from history we must heed before it's too late. @kimwehle.bsky.social for Zeteo:

Another unkeepable promise. If the PQ is elected, the spectre of a referendum will drive investment away. The province's finances are already a shambles thanks to the CAQ's shocking incompetence, so it's pie-in-the-sky stuff. And he knows that.

She is right that it's the wrong time for a referendum, however wussing out and not taking a stand for Canada is far from shrewd - this gives Milliard and the LPQ a huge opening going into the debates. He is the only leader who can be trusted to not play into Trump's hand. #RE51ST

Honestly, I'd say the most disastrous decisions of Obama and Biden were not really holding anyone accountable for crimes committed under the previous administration. Obama wanted to "turn the page" on Iraq and the financial meltdown while Biden never put any urgency behind the January 6th cases

“40,000 🇨🇦 Canadian Soldiers, 153 of whom died, fought with us after 911. They weren’t attacked. WE were attacked, but they sent their troops to go fight with us.” The way the Felon has treated our Canadian friends, we are not worthy of their friendship. His actions are disgusting and disgraceful.
