I hope that one day we finally move on and can look back at this period of horrible reporting on AI with all the disdain it deserves.

Is this queerness? Or this exploitation by capital interests of queer alienation that puts up additional barriers to forming tangible queer relationships? Our compassion and relativism can be used against us. Stories of "this helped me" can be used to counteract the very real harms OpenAI promotes.

Queer AI Romantic Partners: A New Kind of Relationship One in five American adults have chatted with an AI companion romantically.

So much to unpack in this. But first and foremost is the avoidance of asking WHY queer, traumatized, and neurodivergent people are particularly vulnerable to predatory programs to fulfill emotional needs and how chatGPT does not fix that alienation.

"How do you feel about capitalism and socialism?"

Socialism is a better approach: 29%
Capitalism works best: 28%

Capitalism is good in theory, but is doing more harm than good today: 43%

“When participants used ChatGPT to draft essays, brain scans revealed a 47% drop in neural connectivity across regions associated with memory, language, & critical reasoning.

Their brains worked less, but they felt just as engaged—a kind of metacognitive mirage.”🧪

They just so desperately refuse to touch the money. This is why they lose and they'll keep losing.

Dark thought on AI: A lot of "who do they expect to buy their products?" misses how these capitalists are eugenicists. Musk & co. are in a social darwinist death cult that believes they will live in some sort of fascist utopia built on the bones of others. They are that delusional.

Thinking this is wrong isn’t radical.
Thinking it isn’t is.

We're witnessing increased consolidation of assets by billionaires around the world. It's a huge problem that won't be stopped by small solutions.

I missed this from a couple of weeks ago, but if you're an NIH-funded investigator, please read.

Peer review will exist to make things look legitimate, but can, and will, be over-ruled. Funding decisions, ultimately, will be done by political appointees.

Canadaland podcast founder. He threw out whatever journalistic image he might have cultivated once to push Zionist/anti-Palestinian narratives and misinformation (on a media criticism podcast, no less) and keeps crashing out when listeners rightfully criticize him for it. Carry on.

(Haven't watched the latest episode yet) I appreciated the moments where they've included Carol's estrangement from family due to queerness and how that complicates her reaction to community/love. I hope they do more with that.

The worst is when you really look into it and find out that the version that will last is at least $500 and you sit there and consider it it's worth it and then realize it would destroy your budget and resign yourself to buying the slop anyway.

Nothing demonstrates that the stock market is just irrational vibes and memes quite like how long the Tesla bubble has lasted.

It was time a decade ago. It's way past time now.

Enviro studies graduates tell me that the only jobs on offer are in oil and gas.

That is cruel.

They desperately want to be part of building a thriving future, not burning it down.

They have the skills, they deserve the opportunities.

Good for them, but also this couldn't be worse timing for the Carney government to try to get Canada into it.

A totally understandable reaction. Honestly quite moderate.

“I honestly do not understand why Ottawa is not looking into this.”

lol

Average age of 32. Exactly. Even with dual income and savings, my partner and I have come to terms with the fact that we'll likely never buy a home.

Girl Guides of Canada has made a statement, likely in response to the cowardly decisions of Girlguiding UK. 🏳️‍⚧️

What the ever living fuck.
"Canada’s pension funds – with $2 trillion in capital – will visit the UAE next year to develop new opportunities for long-term investment"

Holy shit.

Peak disaster capitalism.

Neoliberalism was a mistake.

There are still federal workers that apparently don't have office space and are forced to just make due as they try to work. Same is happening on the provincial level. What is the point of all this? (I know the point, but still)

Break strikes, privatize everything, destroy renter protections, yank people back into offices, cut every budget, babble about tariffs and the US, move fast and break things but then get surprised when Indigenous nations push back, etc. etc. Just floundering all around. Embarrassing.

It's getting absurd how Canadian governments at all levels are being so comically dysfunctional. It would be funny if all of these terrible decisions and floundering didn't cost lives and livelihoods. We learned nothing from the pandemic.
