Yeah; and that is wrong. Should we be saying “die Canada” because of it? Or should we do what we can to get the government to stop?

Maybe they’re from Alberta?

There’s also the fact that

  1. It’s only really good at this if you want it to generate Python, PowerShell, bash, or C++ code. Try any other language and it quickly assumes you’re using outdated and often incompatible libraries or doesn’t really understand how the language functions.
  2. at the end of it all, neither you nor the AI has learned anything new; you’ll have to put in the exact same amount of work the next time. If you do it yourself, then over time that 10% advantage goes away.

Now, these things could both change over time, but humans are much more efficient to train than current state of the art probability sieves we call GenAI.

So with Trump and Musk, which is The Undertaker and which is Mankind?

Or are they BOTH The Undertaker and we’re all Mankind?

Publishers commit significant resources to creating the best and most informative content for consumers….

Er, not usually. A few publishers hire actual writers and editors and respond to the desires of their subscribers.

These days, most publishers are re-wrapping something written by someone else, often with the help of AI and minimal editorial oversight. And when the oversight DOES come, it’s usually attached to money from advertisers or external influencers.

Interesting:

IRCC will only send invitationsto apply to potential sponsors from the 2020 pool of submissions and won’t be opening a new interest-to-sponsor form.

So if you filled out the form 5 years ago and your parents are still alive and able to travel, now’s the time.

2005: Epstein investigation begins over prostitution of 14 year old girl

2006: Epstein indicted

2008: Epstein let off on a plea deal

2019: Epstein arrested again, this time related to trafficking in minors, as part of a larger investigation

2019: Epstein dies in jail, Democrats call it suicide, Republicans blame Democrats for his death

2021: Ghislaine Maxwell convicted

2025: DoJ announces investigation into potential coverup, vows to unearth “client list” and vows to make the entire investigation transparent and release all details

2025: Trump announces there’s no client list and the investigation should be forgotten

I’ll let the reader fill in the dates for who was in power when, and who was calling for further investigation vs. Who was saying we should move on, when.

They might just be friends with someone on the list, or directly related to them.

I notice a number of women are on that list. If they were involved in grooming and raping underage girls, there’s a bigger story here.

Most likely it’s just someone they know who’s on the list, or they haven’t even seen the list but someone told them to vote that way so they did.
