I invite all Americans to join Minnesota in a day of unity tomorrow.

Stares in Canadian 👀
Somehow through the magic of AI we have made computers less reliable than any handheld calculator from the previous 50 years.
And so the Liberals tried their usual “ Industrial Peace” garbage to oppress worker rights. CUPE and the Air Canada attendants put Carney’s Liberals on notice. That outdated law can’t be used to break workers’ Charter rights. Solidarity!

Somehow, the flappy-bird moves of Diplocaulus in pleistogames.itch.io/cisuralian-c... are based on real science! Back in 1980, Cruickshank and Skews used a replica and a wind tunnel to show that tilting the head up while facing the current would propulse it upwards ⤴️

If I have to explain to you why it's a bad idea to use a machine that makes shit up 15-80% of the time AND destroys the environment AND contributes to rising fascism and genocide AND puts brilliant skillful creatives out of work by stealing their work, then we're already speaking different languages
Third party AI or customized LLMs for each class?

Second week of term?

Unless you live in a country with strict privacy laws?
Sad to hear that Margaret Boden, pioneer in cognitive science and artificial intelligence, has passed away.

Holy fuck.

I’m a Canadian and I donate monthly. Everyone should (if they can). Sharing factual news and local stories extinguishes fascism.
Also an excellent route, when the ferries are on time (side note: everyone on the coast bitches about BC Ferries b/c 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 cost)
You got it. Fly to Seattle, take the ferry, I’ll meet you at the Inner Harbour and away we go!
