Good!

Oh, absolutely expected. Still hanging on to my butt and hoping people stop him before he decides to ‘liberate’ my country.

Holy, that is chilling. Even for him.

In this climate of post-law America… yeah. Whatever will happen will happen I guess.

In my riding CPC is projected “likely” to win. When I moved here it was the place that consistently voted green party and now it’s conservative. Crazy. And all the left needs to do is not split the vote. I don’t particularly care which party wins my riding as long as it’s not the CPC, but they are most likely going to win even though only 35% of the people support them. Frustrating.

I don’t want Apple to win, but I DO want Musk to lose.

I don’t think I’m quite the target of this comment because I don’t pretend it doesn’t exist or that it isn’t something that people use or care about. But I do avoid using AI for anything that matters… like at all. I also refuse to use chatgpt or any of the commercial offerings. I do play around with locally hosted stuff because the tech is interesting, but there is no way I would ever put my faith in it. Also, my feelings toward the biggest players in the industry are at best “disgust”. So I don’t want to use their products.

So my question then how exactly can I be in the room to help shape decisions? The only two levers I have to pull is whether or not to send those companies money, and whether to even use the free services or not.

What exactly am I supposed to do? The companies will just make whatever models and tune them however they feel will achieve whatever goals they have regardless. And presently, their goals do not align with mine.

I won’t be surprised when we are fucked. I promise you that. I can see that coming. But I feel utterly powerless to stop the tech fascists.

The war thunder forums are going to go HARD for the next 4 years.

I know it’s hard, and it takes work and everyone is stressed af… but you really should if at all possible look into the mla’s you vote for to see if they are personally bags of trash before voting for them instead of just voting based on the party they are in.

“Let’s set aside the obvious conflict of interest and ethics questions at play here —” You can’t, and you shouldn’t.

"We can even skip over the security implications pointed out by a cybersecurity expert in the Times piece. " You can’t, and you shouldn’t.

“As a practical matter alone, there’s no obvious reason to add another ISP in order to improve Wi-Fi coverage” It doesn’t take an entire paragraph to figure out what’s going on here let alone an entire article.

As someone from north of the USA border… PLEASE stop this man from stealing your country, Americans.

“Documents obtained under the freedom of information law show that then-Brookfield Asset Management vice-chair Mark Carney made a presentation to John Horgan’s cabinet on June 16, 2021.”

I am struggling to find something to find interesting here, aside from a reporter going back 4 years to dig up receipts for something completely reasonable and normal.

Uranus is rising

After almost half of British Columbians voted for Rustad… I’m not entirely surprised by this result.

Hey Poland! You got a copy of the Geneva Checklist?

So I am pretty uninformed and I have a gut reaction that I am going to look into today, but I’d appreciate anyone’s insight here. My gut feeling is that crypto is kind of… not-good aligned let’s say. It’s wasteful. It’s often predatory. How can it work with Buddhist ethos?

"Kealy, meanwhile, alluded to starting a new political party. Two seats are needed for official party status in the B.C. legislature. " Imagine a party made of MLA’s who are so repugnant even the Conservatives won’t touch them with a ten foot pole.

A true leader. God bless.

Finally! This is what true freedom of speech looks like. Imagine being so free to say things and NEVER have to hear anyone oppose you.

Or go try the demo. It IS eerily uncanny. It’s not at the point where it would fool you for long, but it’s close enough to get caught up in it from time to time.

You could fix the fsd by simply taking it out. Come to think of it, that could work for Melon Husk too.
