Exclusive | OpenAI Employees Raised Alarms About Canada Shooting Suspect Months Ago
The ChatGPT maker opted against informing Canadian authorities about Jesse Van Rootselaarβs descriptions of violence last June.
The Tumbler Ridge shooter had used OpenAI to discuss scenarios involving gun violence.
It was bad enough to get flagged and reviewed by employees, who warned the company & suggested alerting law enforcement.
The company said No.
This tragedy could have been prevented.
Gut wrenching.

Since the government is about to introduce a social media ban for under-16s based largely on vibes β and Jonathan Haidt's shitty book β in the hopes it boosts its popularity (it won't), I'll re-up this.
If we're banning under-16s, why not over-60s?

I read somewhere 'The US isn't like the US because of Trump, Trump is like Trump because of the way the US is' and I really do think this explains why Trump's getting away with what he's getting away with.

Yes, Danielle Smith is a separatist
Alberta's premier says she supports "a sovereign Alberta within a united Canada." Her actions tell a much different story β one that makes her position on the issue impossible to ignore.
She keeps getting chances to show some loyalty to Canada -- and keeps turning them away in order to defend Alberta separatists and their cause.
It's who she is. It's time we all started saying it. #cdnpoli #abpoli

ADAMS: Alberta's Anti-Trans Bills and the Cost to At-Risk Youth
The government's insistence on βparental rightsβ ignores the Charter rights of children and exposes those most at risk to real harm.
No loving parent needs the state to force their child to come out. Alberta's legislation doesn't protect families; it rewards abusive ones. Using the notwithstanding clause to override the rights of trans kids makes the intent clear. #CDNpoli #ABpoli

Let people be their true selves, as they know and understand them. Let children explore their identities. Celebrate difference and variety and the incredible spectrum of humanity.

Last night the UCP used their power as govβt to limit debate on multiple bills to one hour.
Theyβve done it > 80 times in six years.

Opinion: Blanket upzoning didnβt deliver affordability
Former city councllor's analogy comparing new homes to new cars is a lemon.
There is a reason this is an "opinion" piece. It has zero connection with reality. CREB just reported supply is up significantly and prices are down 5% y-o-y. Rents have fallen 7% - among the fastest in the country. #yyccc calgaryherald.com/opinion/colu...
