As a Canadian, I now know more about US politics than I ever wanted to know. Find me on Bluesky:

@SulkinMaya @jaketapper @TheLeadCNN Lips firmly attached the demented diaperload's ass. Credible journalism tossed out the window so you can curry favor with a wannabe dictator. Congratulations, the whole world knows what a coward you are.

@ABDanielleSmith NO OIL TANKERS IN B.C.'S OIL-TANKER-BANNED WATERS. First Nations have flatly said NO.

@KerryLynneFindl "Get woke out of schools"? You do know what "woke" means? It's just being aware of system-wide injustices against ethnic, racial & sexual minorities. Being aware that racism exists. Wanting people to be treated fairly. The opposite of "woke" is "wilfully ignorant bigot".

@DHSgov You do realize that by removing Customs in blue cities, white MAGA tourists coming back from a trip would not be able to leave their planes either? Are you honestly this stupid?

@UnitedABforDS This also precludes AB from joining the US. Even if First Nations ceded all their treaty land, at the end of the day Ottawa can say No, you're not going anywhere. There's no scenario where this works. But you will continue to lie. Even on camera.

@UnitedABforDS First Nations treaty lands were never ceded, Alberta cannot violate treaties with the Crown (that predate 1867) and take them, and First Nations leaders have FLATLY said they won't negotiate. Treaty land includes about 85% of Alberta.

@USAmbCanada My late uncle was the Canadian ambassador to the U.S. (Edgar Ritchie). You, sir, are no ambassador. You need to retire.

@realDonaldTrump Wow, you're so insecure. The whole world can see it.

@FBIDirectorKash William McBride, a Navy veteran and professor emeritus of history at the U.S. Naval Academy, called it “horrifying.” “Snorkeling around Pearl Harbor,” McBride said, “is as disrespectful as playing kickball on top of the graves at Arlington.”

Why is the AI backlash growing?

Outside of coding (where there is clear value), and a handful of other domains (e.g. brainstorming), Generative AI has been a net negative for society.

GenAI has been undermining secondary and college education, opening up mass surveillance, increasing disinformation, delusions, impersonation, phishing, and other forms of cybercrime, nonconsensual deep fake porn, bias in employment and other domains, and economic disparity, drowning the world in slop and unwanted, over-leveraged environment-damaging data centers that risk causing a recession.

Simultaneously it has empowered a bunch of people who want to privatize almost all the gains while leave all the downsides to society, taking almost zero responsibility.

I don’t think we are better off than we were four years ago.

Some of this is technical (LLMs aren’t reliable), some of it is political/economic (such as the utter lack of responsible regulation). Most of this was predictable.

Almost none of it is good.

All that said, I honestly believes some future form of AI might be great. But Generative AI has hurt more than it has helped, and been managed irresponsibly.

It’s no wonder many people have had enough.
