Our public system is already chronically understaffed, allowing physicians to engage in dual practice will just continue to cannibalize the public system. Great if you have the wealth to pay out of pocket for private care - longer wait times and poorer quality of care for the rest of us.
Looking more and more like we may be getting a Saskatchewan version of Alberta’s Bill 11. Could be part of the upcoming budget.
Speaking as someone who used to work in an oncology research lab - no, ChatGPT is not helping find cancer. There are special, custom-built neural networks that can categorise biopsies (and someone at my former lab actually built one of those for a specific niche use!), which is *very* different.
I CAME IN LIKE A
Working on a fun little side project about imagining the future of a city through genre lenses. What are some sci-fi / speculative fiction genres that are instantly graspable from a simple header? Terms like "cyberpunk," "solarpunk," "space opera," etc.

The National Videogame Museum has announced the acquisition of a wildly rare and strange artifact of video game history: a Nintendo PlayStation. https://bit.ly/4uv3E7J

"Why are there so many right-wing sex offenders"
Hmmm yeah I wonder how the ideology that considers women and children to be property and violent sexual dominance to be the pinnacle of masculine action could do this
Also, not for nothing, but the more places that use them, the harder the make it on actual reference chat staff who then get treated like bots on chat and even sometimes phone because people will refuse to believe we’re real and treat us like humans. Infuriating every time.
One of my favourite takeaways of this reading was the concept that the absurd proclamations of the God Nuggan are just nonsensical echoes following his death. I just clocked that 'Dead voices in an ancient cave, bouncing back and forth, the words changing, making nonsense' is a great analogy for AI.
I find it interesting that NP uses "left-leaning think tank the Broadbent Institute", but in many other articles, you won't find the reference "right-leaning think tank the Fraser Institute."
Kind of crazy that a journalist has been threatened by Nazis for doing journalism and we’re not seeing widespread condemnation!
I will also say that it’s a bit wild to me that no press freedom organization or professional journalistic association has tried to contact me or even put out a statement here.
I mean Jesus Christ. A little solidarity from institutions would be nice here!
My university received a few years ago the promise of the largest single gift to a public university in U.S. history. It was equivalent to 12 hours of bombing Iran.
@czamboni.bsky.social beat me to the punch! This was under wraps until, I guess, today. Anyway CMU Press is publishing an updated and Very Deluxe version of my game and I could not be happier. Art by Sam Araya!

Be curious, not judgemental.
The next fast food CEO challenge should be figuring out which company treats their employees the best with high wages and good benefits.
