Once you get outside city-commute distance, rural Canada is a skeleton crew. Just enough residents to serve the resource extraction, cottages, and farms.

Right-wing Canadian men have the same access to the history of what was done to Indigenous children as we do, but many refuse to care. I decided to tell them that history as if the children had been white instead.

I was raised in the 'budget and save for retirement' era. Took me way too long to realize that my long-term planning needs to be focused on surviving apocalyptic conditions. It's a subtle shift, but it brings things into focus.

Nothing to celebrate here. It's a sad day. Combined, LNG Canada Phases 1 & 2 will have downstream carbon emissions roughly equivalent to TOTAL annual domestic emissions for all of BC. Phases 2 will only result in about 240 more permanent jobs. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Been doing some testing, and it's important for people to know how even the best AI models are getting current events completely wrong. The Carney government is presently lying about their omnibus bill. The way they describe it to the media is completely different from what the bill actual does.

Meanwhile China's AI regulations target deepfakes, minors, elder users, labour protections, consumer exploitation, content control, discrimination in automated decisions, and biometric privacy. Lo and behold if you remove the corporate lobbyists, you get regulations that actually protect citizens.

"AI should have an off switch" is like saying we should put climate change in reverse. The problem isn't that we lack the mechanisms, it's that we lack coordination and collective control.

Carney says he'll help Palestine, but won't say where are its borders. Says nothing can move forward until Palestinians stop resisting. This is liberal zionist bullshit. By its nature genocidal.

There's a threshold we have to cross before we have to fear AI. It's the recursive self-improvement threshold. Supposedly, once this is crossed, AI can improve itself beyond our ability to control it. But here's why I'm doubtful.

Negative outcomes for rural populations are often treated like they're an "environmental factor," as if cities are the natural default, and remote and rural people are the weird ones.

Strikes only work because they cause economic damage. That's literally the only reason we have workers rights. So of course the neoliberal banker PM is taking this power away from us. Carney is absolutely fucking this country. Anyone who supports this government is your enemy.

When faced with an existential threat, you work in-and-through whatever institutions you have. You don't have time to build an ideal defense system. Resistance is therefor likely to be as flawed as it is necessary. So anyone who fixates on those flaws is acting in bad faith.

The more research I do, the more I'm convinced that they could build EVs that last forever with minimal maintenance, but nobody is willing to do it. ICE vehicles inevitably die. Doesn't matter what you do or how well they're built, eventually the engine or transmission wears out and fails.

Very annoyed at the months-long process I have to do (apparently every year, now) to get BASIC accommodations at my workplace. Accommodations I used to just get for nothing, without any process, without asking, because my reasonable managers weren't bound to absurd expectations from leadership.

Restoring shorelines and wetlands has massive benefits, yet in Canada we can't even protect them, as governments at every level cut regulations to make room for more pipelines and industrial development. youtu.be/ddmuALsSEfQ

Just did some AB testing between older and newer Anthropic models. The prompt was "List everything rapper Macklemore has done in terms of activism for Palestine." All the models responded with a similar list. The newer models (Opus and Sonnet 5) included Zionist talking points at the end of them.

Also should be said that this is what happens when people from the natural sciences think they can do sociology without doing the work. To a physicist, the most natural way to handle a terrifyingly complex system is to build a simplified toy model.

Don't fall for these headlines. When you see stuff like this, ask yourself how they could possibly predict such things. It's not based on statistics or objective measures. It's not based on rigorous scholarly research, they aren't breaking down social systems or looking at historical context.

It's important to remember that there are places where highways ARE the best and only public transit option. What they lack is a publicly-owned bus service. The government failed Canadians by letting Greyhound go bankrupt. Yet most rural people didn't even realize they were betrayed.
