I came to leave this comment as well. Like he's disconnected from the reality of trauma so much that he doesn't mind dwelling on it.

Making Alberta responsible for their own constant demands is a good idea as long as the regulations still apply.
Let them do the paperwork, deal with negotiations, feasibility, etc. Let them manage the consequences of their own talking points.
I'm sure you've seen this. As a Canadian, I think it's key to consider our tech. Boycotting apples from Washington means little if you're still giving US companies all your data.

Yes to both. And I think a bunch of PP voters (because most people vote for the party, not the candidate) were misinformed and caught by his slogans.
My BIL is likely avoiding me b/c he knows I'll point out how axing the tax didn't actually make everything cheaper. 😂
He's on a frighteningly slippery slope. It seems crazy to think he would attack Canada or Mexico. But... it would have seemed crazy for him to take out the leaders of two countries without UN backing. It would have seemed crazy for protesters to be killed. Sweeping tariffs. Cutting health care. Etc.
It does seem to correlate with authoritarianism. Yet, we were very close to electing PP. And as much as "he's changed". He was (and likely remains) someone with authoritarian underpinnings. Not just his affiliation with Harper's IDU, but a lot of his hate-based and anti-journalism rhetoric.
I don't know about you... but I consume Canadian news, not US news. I think it also comes from other rules of courtesy in our culture. We say sorry automatically. We thank our bus drivers and service workers. Our schools teach empathy and critical thinking and offer a high quality of education.
Pretty sure this will be the outcome of the war in Iran as well. 😒
Not dumb. It's 1984-style propaganda. Are you willing to lie and ignore the contradictions to show your party loyalty?

It is not serving their agenda. It is their agenda. They are literally playing some sort of sci-fi end-of-the-world game in their heads.
I listened to this documentary on the Dark Enlightenment in January... and have seen everything differently ever since.

It's publication week for my friend, Kevin Bartlett! Here's an interview about his book, Timebomb, and why he decided to write it!

I suspect it will just be bots hanging out with bots. A giant waste of electricity and water without any particular purpose.
Huh, I guess we're doing it all on our own.
Permaculture is my current passion. Over the past few years, I have been setting up a permaculture garden on a piece of property that was formerly a road and logging camp. It's fun to watch everything get established!
Here is my first post on the subject: berriesandbarnacles.com/what-is-perm...
It failed to include "add unnecessary and inaccurate AI feature". But other than that, it's perfect!

People are still weird when they find out how old my oldest is. It's like I'm meant to be complimented that "I look too young for that," while also judging me. There are so many assumptions that come with having kids a bit younger than everyone else.
I suspect a version of agism was to play in this as well.
I was in my 20s with my first kid and 30s with my second. And it was pretty clear from the differences in the way I was treated that agism made a difference.
Given how he is such an AI booster, I can only imagine how bad the ChatGPT transcript must be. They are clearly trying to get ahead of whatever is in it.

Exactly.
An urban dictionary screenshot for "Rowling moment": The point when someone with unpopular or problematic views finally shares them and loses any ambiguity or plausible deniability. “...we were never 100% certain about his views, but eventually he had a Rowling moment while drunk and then spiralled all the way down into full-on Glinner” by Yakobin June 7, 2020

This fits better with my experience. Everyone with problematic views during the pandemic shifted to other problematic views after the pandemic.
They also happen to be hard to get along with, no matter the circumstances. The only way to get through a meal with them is by taking an edible.
My engineer husband considered AI to be a counting horse. The only difference from 1950s AI is the size of the server farms.
I'd like to think that the unpredictability comes from those who are poisoning the algorithm (either on purpose or because misinformation was always a thing).
Hard to trust someone who seemingly has many guises. Why would anyone trust what he says?
"The new waterwheel they built to power the loom made the river undrinkable, and when the boss cut my hours in half, I couldn’t buy food anymore, which really made the whole rickets situation get out of hand. But that’s exactly the sort of time you need a laugh, right?"
Pretty sure the goal is to start a war with someone ahead of the midterm elections. Seems to be the authoritarian playbook:

Did getting rid of carriages free horses? Are there suddenly more horses roaming the countryside? Or are there simply less horses?

I call this AI Psychosis. I know it is only currently being used in cases where people really trash their lives by believing in AI.
But anyone who believes in AI will eventually end up doing something unfortunate because of an AI output. It's just a matter of time.
It's happening... but not in the way you expect.

So surprised that a "longevity and health influencer" is caught up in the crime syndicate that is the Epstein files. Aren't health influencers known for their honesty and good intentions?
