Caitlin KALINOWSKI over X
I resigned from OpenAl. I care deeply about the Robotics team and the work we built together.
This wasn't an easy call. Al has an important role in national security. But surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got. This was about principle, not people. I have deep respect for Sam and the team, and I'm proud of what we built together.
OpenAI head of robotics just resigned over company deal with the Pentagon saying…

Should have used a Petro Canada image, as reminder of a time when its revenue went into the public purse, rather than the pockets of Suncor shareholders!

3 panel Cartoon. Person says to other person „We invented a robot that answers questions.“, adding, „we just have to feed it 10 baby giraffes a day“. The other person asks „But it answers the questions correctly?“ Person responds „Oh my goodness, no. No no no no no.“

When Trump replaces Russian oil sanctions with Canadian sanctions, Carney's support will sound even dumber.

Agreed. At the same time, their abilities to turn massive profits 🤝 with the fossil fuel industry, while public/social infrastructure suffers austerity, needs to be addressed.

Just yesterday I was wondering if it would be revealed that ChatGPT or Claude ("the good AI") assisted in bombing that school full of children.
#HamOnt shouldn't have anything to do with this industry's data centres.

Doug Ford hates free public 3rd places! None more than ones containing books!
So this struggle to keep the main 📚 branch open, in Ontario's 5th largest city, is likely a feature, of his failure to fund housing and addiction supports. #HamOnt

That's one way to make it look like you're covering the NDP leadership race, without addressing their policy proposals.

How Toronto reduced car traffic and tripled bike ridership on a key bike boulevard - NACTO
Shaw Street was busy with bikes, but it wasn’t working for everyone. There were too many motor vehicles using the street for riding to be comfortable for people who weren’t confident biking, including...
“Shaw Street was busy with bikes, but it wasn’t working for everyone. There were too many motor vehicles using the street for riding to be comfortable…But in 2020, the City of Toronto undertook a project that decreased vehicle volumes by up to 60% and tripled the # of people biking in some places…”

When I explain to people how I rode with multiple Consulate Generals across Toronto on bikes, showed off all of our cycling infrastructure, but it was Shaw Street that they were most impressed with.
They asked, Why we don’t have streets like this ALL OVER TORONTO?

No surprise, given that cities like #HamOnt allocate 0.09% of their annual budget to emission reduction efforts and every year several suburban councillors try to axe that sliver from the budget.

This is called a "thaw circle". When the darker bark of the trees absorb the warmth of the sun, it causes the snow to melt faster around the tree.
There is much more snow in the forests, but in the open areas thaw circles are now appearing. As the snow melts, and the darker bark of the trees absorb the warmth of the sun, it causes the snow to melt faster around the tree. Eventually to the bare ground. #winter #snowmelt #canada #snow ❄️

Graphic with bold text on an orange background, with a "Lewis for Leader" logo below: A Political Instrument of the People.
The NDP has a rich history in Canadian politics. We were born out of a movement of farmers, trade unionists, and feminists in an era where fascism was rising and social solidarity was essential.
Today, we are releasing our plan to once again make the NDP the Political Instrument of the People.

Opinion | Politicians Are Trying to Control the News
The New York Times editorial on press freedom.
"The goal of leaders who try to muzzle the media is plain enough. They want to snuff out the truth and establish a monopoly on information. They want only news that flatters the government."
