The question isn’t whether AI has any uses, the question is whether those uses can possibly justify releasing this fucking shit β€œinnovation” on humanity without any guardrails. And the answer to that question is NO.

Premier’s Office spent nearly $20K on PragerU fundraiser gala Disclosures show that the Premier's Office spent nearly $20,000 to support a fundraiser by far-right American organization PragerU

To recap: that's $20K Danielle Smith spent to help fundraise for a US-based far-right platform with an extremist podcaster. All that money and effort and it still didn't help reduce Trump's tariffs on Canada.

Doctors Without Borders are saying in the totality of their organization they've never seen such levels of systematic violence against unarmed civilians as they are seeing in Gaza right now.

The GHF isn't saving lives, it's torturing people.
