The only way to get rid of crime is to get rid of all laws and I doubt we're going that way.

The thing that makes me think / hope this didn't really happen is why wouldn't the 911 employee ask them to track the timing on the seizures etc? Unless they did and they're just running PR for an algorithm that told them the most obvious thing in the world to do after offering dangerous advice.

A Canadian company, GardaWorld, is staffing Trump's "Alligator Alcatraz" -- and Carney's government awarded it MILLIONS in contracts.

They also told me they won't rule out working with the company in the future.

Here's what I dug up in my first-ever column for @thetyee.ca:

An update from us here at PBS 💙

Vincent Gallo is also an interesting one because what do you mean you think Buffalo 66 was anti communist? What shit are you huffing?

The drummer of System of a Down is a trump supporter and is opposed to BLM. Do not know how the "why do they always send the poor" lyrics managed to go over their own band member's head so hard. Not sure the influence he has on his art but it's a weird dichotomy.

I miss isolated forums built on common interests and values.

I love how every algorithm has gotten noticeably worse since the rise of "AI". Autocorrect keeps changing correct words to wrong words. Google Play can't predict what song I want to listen to anymore with any amount of accuracy. Search engines are worse than ever. It rules.

It's clear: We are a puppet state. What you voted for last election? A sovereign, independent Canada, free of US control? It was never really on the ballot.

Volumptuous is one that gets me. I kind of ironically love it and have to stop myself from saying it as a joke because I will start saying it unironically in time.

I see the issue. When we said we would replace human workers with machines you assumed the machines would work. That's on you

egg-producing equipment? does joanne mean like a dvd copy of 1995 trans-coded film classic HACKERS?

Defining women as "egg-producing equipment," for feminism

Unfortunately this is also how I pronounce it. My mouth doesn't understand how to say authoritarianism. I end up having to slow down like a six year old.

We played WoW constantly until Cataclysm when we quit, and that was hard. Most of our best friends are still guildies from back then. We even went to one of their weddings! I'm sad about the state of MMOs in general now.

They really should add some loyalty system for people who have paid thousands of dollars over the years, but instead they slash your bag space, bank space, and furniture storage in half, and they also take away your material storage bag. I have 100s of thousands of materials in those bags.

After 8 years, I let my ESO subscription expire, because Microsoft's changes to the game fucking suck and the AI bots watching everyone's chat and banning people for saying cumbubble to a friend in a private chat suck.

But now, without ESO+, I basically can't play because of my bank situation.

Canadians too, this is coming our way.

All of this was meant to aim for my real goal of wanting one day to help abused children through their pain with art. However, AI is currently stealing that dream. Everyone has to suck at art before they can get good at art.

Elevator pitch from anyone who didn't write the book for booktok. 😱

“A legitimate PhD-level expert in anything,” they said.

“Show me a diagram of the US presidents since FDR, with their names and years in office under their photos,” I said.

OpenAI went ahead and enshittified ChatGPT, and here are some anonymized examples of why we shouldn't let ourselves rely - much less grow emotionally attached to - corporate products and especially LLMs. They are not your friends and you're purely a wallet.

This is gonna be great, what an asset, this will never drive me insane

Time bleeds. The present melts into the past, and the earthy scent gives way to the sterile bleach of the airport. Everything is so white it’s almost blinding, and my vision clouds over. “Turn around. Bend over. Part your cheeks.” I comply, staring at the poster on the wall, talking about terrorism and the signs to watch for. The airport security agent sticks a camera up my ass. I grunt. “Hey, be grateful. At least you’ve got your freedom.” My cheeks burn with rage, but I bid myself to remain docile. This is my only chance at getting out of NV. Starting shit with security before I board my plane is a fast way to get thrown in prison on terrorism charges. With my expulsion record, I’d be totally fucked. “Alright, turn around.” The man is red faced, sweating in the heat of the airport. The sun beats in through the black paint they used to cover the windows. They originally wanted to replace the windows with shaded solar panels, but the city went with the cheapest bid, so this is what we got. “Squat.” I do so. Other passengers make their way through security, white faces being waved through. My indignity is on full display, but it’s so routine that they don’t even notice. “Okay, this might pinch.” Another device enters my sex, and the pinch is no pinch. I cry out, biting down on my lip as the security officer glowers. It hurts more, and he stares into my eyes, watching the tears pool on the surface. I don’t let them fall, and eventually, he relents.
