This is an outstanding refutation of PM Carney's double-speak on proposed Canada Labour Code amendments, from Colleen Bauman and Mark Rowlinson: www.thestar.com/opinion/cont.... Previous misuse of Section 107 would be codified & routinized, even though it's still facing court challenges. #canlab

Mark Carney says he’s protecting Canadian workers. It’s Orwellian doublespeak

Subject to ministerial review, the right to strike is likely to be much weakened by Bill C-39.

Just speaking for film & TV there isn't really a job loss due to AI. It's been mostly due to successive punches of pandemic, streaming collapse, union strikes, studio consolidation and interest rates. This trend was in place way before Midjourney was pumping out pictures with 14 fingers.

BG layouts are done (no colour yet) and I'm working my way through rough animation. Yesterday I sent notes to my friend who's doing the score. I haven't made anything from start-to-finish in a very very long time, and it feels good. Forgot I had some of these muscles. "Make stuff! It feels good!"

Well, I for one am an economist who supports rent controls! Here’s why 🧵: Markets only work well if: -buyers & sellers have roughly equal power -producers respond to price signals & expand supply in response to scarcity -buyers can walk away if prices get too high

being in animation, its not from AI. the streaming bubble bursting cuz everyone hopped on the grain cuz it undermined unions, less regulations and more mergers are what lead to the loss. AI is just what people think but it started way before that

Neural networks did not work UNTIL they got all that data. Raw data is useless without immense human labour to clean and store it in massive data centres. GPUs which are also required need rare earth minerals. On and on. AI only works because we're dedicating all of a massive industry to it.

A cool thing about a challenging hike is that it forces you to be really embodied and in the moment. You've gotta move and respond to the environment, every step and balance takes focus. Plus all the endorphins. And the nature, which is always very nice. Photos from Alouette Mountain today.

The government legislation affirms they know they’ll kill these orcas. Why else would they need ministerial abilities to ignore laws that prevent projects from driving a species to extinction/extirpation AND to ignore conditions put in place to protect these orcas from this specific port expansion?

If you put a gun on a spinning device that fires at random intervals and in random directions and put that in a public place, you would be responsible for everything that device did But for some reason you do even worse, but its only through text and video, it's not your fault its out of your hands

In 2023, I was working with a charity & we did this market to serve food/provide clothes/haircuts for ppl on the DTES. Pete Fry and Ken Sim said they'd come. Pete Fry came, Ken Sim didn't. 2 weeks later, Ken Sim had the homeless people in the park rounded up, their possessions put in garbage cans.

The Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.

I've heard some concern recently about "rogue AI" from friends a little less plugged into the discourse and this seems like a good read about that. Not that these incidents aren't concerning, but they aren't a sign of intelligence. They're a sign that the AI companies are building vicious malware.

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.

Greyhound bus out of Vermont to Montreal broke down, took the next one, arrived 30 minutes too late to catch my flight home, switched to a 7:30 flight. Except in my exhaustion I misread the 24 hr clock and had actually switched to a 9:30 flight 🫠 (It was the only one available anyway, but lol oops)

"AI may make your job easier, but that effort has just been shifted onto your users. They are noticing it and they hate it." I've said this before: if you bracket self-delusion, generative "AI" doesn't save labour, it displaces it onto the people who have to deal with the slop.
