Me: I don't see any reason to use AI Slop peddlers: You know how you want to sell books but you hate writing? Me: No, I love writing. The only reason I care about selling books is so I can afford to write instead of getting a real job Slop peddlers: Oh. Well... You know how you hate your kids?

well, on the one hand AI has made things significantly worse for everyone in almost every capacity that it has touched. But on the other hand, the dumbest guy you know can send emails nobody reads really fast now. So it's impossible to say whether it's good or not

The first genuinely honest ad for generative AI I've ever seen, from Microsoft / CoPilot A mediocre white guy sees his non-white colleague getting praised for good work, he asks AI to *literally copy it*, and then he gets all the praise instead: www.ispot.tv/ad/SoDi/micr...

Stelco workers in Hamilton are being laid off *right now*. They can’t afford to wait through a years-long court battle, and neither can our steel industry. We have to act now to protect Canadian jobs and assert public control in this strategic sector. That means nationalizing Stelco.

Canadians want to build big things, but you can’t build those things without steel. To save the Canadian steel industry and take back control of our economy, Canada must nationalize Stelco.

The most indebted corporations in America right now are, at their core, computer virus companies. They think the computer viruses are their girlfriends, so they think this absolves them of guilt. Let's find out!

Alberta separatists want an independent Alberta that's the only American state loyal to the British monarchy

Do kids still need to learn language when LLMs can handle that for them?

Unexpectedly durable piece of Justin Trudeau's legacy: publicly financed pipeline construction.

Meta unsure why women not buying pervert glasses

Unironically the ruling class are just trying to recreate feudalism using AI. This is just "the peasants don't need to learn how to read or write when in reality the only skill they do need is knowing how to work the field. They have priests to rely on if they for whatever reason ever need to read"

I hope future generations judge us all for empowering Mark Zuckerberg, the man who only ever had one good idea which was born out of his desire to rank the hotness of women who would never look at him. He really is not the symbol of our times that we want, but he is the one we deserve.

Fascinating!

Carney government promises upcoming "Operation Strike Destroyer" legislation won't discourage future strikes

Elbows up baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The profit-taking for Wall St and Bay St begins immediately! Billable hours already piling up as big banks will skim millions off the sale itself. The rich making bank off the public: welcome to privatization, folks. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

This is why I hate "just a tool" so so so much. You can make a calculator without access to every calculation. You can make photoshop without access to all photos. Someone show me a genai tool that didn't require all of our labour in its production. It's plagiarism software.

Watching tech people tremble before the awesome power of AI feels like when an actor is “attacked” by a wild animal in a movie but they are just holding a raccoon pelt to their neck and pretending to wrestle with it

A friend of mine works in AI and thinks bad things are about to happen. He sold his home and moved his family out the country. He said that if you own a home in a walkable San Francisco neighborhood near a taqueria with good veggie options, you should sell your home for super cheap right now.

I dug through Canadian media archives to pull out a sample of the bloodthirsty commentary that dominated pages post-9/11, including from: Christie Blatchford, Rosie DiManno, Margaret Wente, Mark Steyn, Andrew Coyne, Marcus Gee, Rex Murphy and Paul Wells. www.readthemaple.com/remembering-...

Saved you a click: it's performing the charade of life in a spiritual wasteland

Finally, a game for centrists

You’ve gotta use AI because it’s the future. But also it’ll take your job. But also it’ll create a paradise on earth and solve most of our problems. But also it’ll end humanity soon. But also you’ll get left behind if you don’t use it right now.

I am sympathetic to Silicon Valley guys ascribing human-level consciousness to AI because if I had to talk to people from Silicon Valley all day I’d probably have a real low bar for sentience too

Was walking past this building and through the window saw this backrooms-ass room, so I accidentally took the coolest picture ever due to the window's reflection

I've seen everyone sharing that US Dialect Quiz so I decided to make my own, much crappier, CANADIAN DIALECT QUIZ to guess where in Canada you're from

Clairement pas 👍

I absolutely hate it when I draw renewed scrutiny

back before AI, video game developers had to make every digital woman look the same through hard work and artistry

Maybe I'm in the minority here but if people who support AI are being shamed into silence then it's working. The shame is working as intended. The left's biggest problem is that it's afraid to hurt the feelings of folks who need to have their feelings hurt. Let them experience introspection for once

Guys like Yglesias keep using the "HR training" and "HR lady" shorthand because it's less obviously odious than honestly saying that they don't think racism or misogyny are important issues worth dealing with and only matter as "luxury beliefs" for prudish upper class people
