Even if this was true (it isn't), the issue that it would be pointing to is the degradation of social sciences, not some nebulous "rise of AI" slopaganda.

At least they're entoforcementing the barn distriict! Bet a human would never think to do that.

That Phils cap is fresh!!

The CBC (Canada's national broadcaster) usually does its homework to avoid abject embarrassment. The same cannot be said for private Canadian media.

Well, you see, he would be using Mean Words™ and also wearing a blue tie. As everyone knows, responsible colonial masters in Canada only wear red ties to represent the Natural Governing Party.

Alternative, and I realize it doesn't really work this way, but a sustained hike in gas prices probably also suplexes support. "Middle East = Oil = Gas" is likely to really feature in people's thoughts.

For now the "not sures" are too big for me to read too deeply into this, but I think you're right that if this is quick and done it will be largely favorably received. That said, the "not sures" could quickly curdle if significant numbers of American troops are killed.

Yes. Soldier-sniffing is gross and papers over atrocity. Soldiers aren't sacred, they're usually either broke kids with no other career path or insane weirdos who should never be allowed anywhere near a weapon.

The Wall Street Journal is hyping up LLMs again. They can't do this. They're chatbots. Humans did all of it and are abdicating moral responsibility to a slot machine for words.

Horrendous. I've always felt that you were an American lapdog deep down, and this confirms it.

Proud to have not voted for you and I assure you I never will.

We gotta get of Chuckles the Clown, dude. Glad that the Senator from my favorite state has his head in the right place, at least.

Carney is doing what our imperial overlords demand. He will never meaningfully oppose the U.S. in any way that practically matters. The "projects of national interest" are largely extraction for the sake of American interests!

You might as well be a republican.

It's worth noting that these things are effectively worthless for anything beyond abdication of morality. LLMs can't do what these slop merchants and the media are claiming they can in this story or, indeed, in most any story.

The point of this whole shitshow is, once again, pretending that LLMs can do things that they cannot do. The whole deal is pure advertising slop.

That sure sounds like a Tommy John waiting to happen...not what we needed.

They're probably going to do some lame trick like change the sports or something to try to get people back into it.

Are we watching Air Bud dunk on us while waving the rulebook and repeatedly shouting "a dog can't play basketball" again, Chuck?

It's a free win just waiting for you! Play with folks for a few minutes by tossing snowballs back at people, have a bit of fun, and carry on. Legendary bag-fumble by New York's "finest".

Why the hell did you bother showing up? Your commitment to the so-called sanctity of the American system continues to let people down.

(For the Anglos):

This person has decided that my criticism of "elbows up" means that I must be an American shill. When I said that there's a difference between criticism of a slogan and supporting American imperialism, they responded with snark.

Hockey culture sucks and it runs deep here, folks.

Il y a un difference entre la critique d'un slogane et le soutien pour l'imperialisme Americain.

So glad Barack Obama carried water for this buffoon.

I'll confess that I was not expecting baseball to be the American cognate. I figured American football would be carrying the dismal banner, what with the whole letterman jacket thing.

That said, I didn't grow up in the States, so I'd love to hear more about this!

You would think, but politics in Canada still heavily leans on trite hockey metaphors and banal expressions. See also "elbows up", a cringeworthy line that only gets worse when you realize the sheer scale of Canadian capitulation to American insanity.

One of us! One of us!

But seriously, do I come off as MAGA?! Now I'm a little concerned...

That's "provide lasting solutions to social problems" money being used to...generate CSAM, fearmonger, and erode social order.

Stop the world, I'd like to get off.

In Canada the common model is for insecure men in positions of relative social wealth and power (like cops) to use hockey as a way to train their sons to be violent bullies and sex pests, which they in turn inflict on younger boys.

Your mileage may vary, of course!

When I spend $100 on some fiction novels every couple of months, I feel like I've been too indulgent. Meanwhile...

Apparently I am MAGA! And a meat-based LLM? And a techno-pessimist!

Fascinating. I thought it fairly obvious from my sans culotte-posting that I am very much not a reactionary conservative, but there's no accounting for taste, it seems.
