@ThatEricAlper Why "Anne of Green Gables" is so big in Japan, and how it influenced the views of Western culture for Japanese citizens in the aftermath of WWII

Nope! I always say there is no such thing as self-made. It’s a myth.

It took millions of people - from my parents to mentors to friends to competitors to fans and voters - to write my success story. I did not write it alone.

That’s the American Dream - not a lie about going it alone - but the truth that none of us do, and there is always someone with their hand out to lift us up.

Hi @Sony @PlayStation I am NOT buying a PS6 *EVER* without the promise of physical media. That's the line. If you're out, I'm out.

Access to drinking water, especially when you’re outside in the heat, should be a right no matter where you are in Toronto. The public’s health and safety is simply more important than FIFA restricting fans to buy Coke products. I’ll be asking city hall to push back on this latest greedy and unreasonable FIFA demand.

I don't know how you send out Jeff Hoffman in any situation anymore if you can't trust him with a four run lead in the 9th #BlueJays

"but im a white guy working on ai"

you can only fucking lol at something so incomprehensibly ignorant and out of touch

let me get this straight–

you were born and raised in quebec, and had the good fortune to study at mcgill - literally one of the world's best universities - for less than $5000 a year.

then you did graduate studies at waterloo - canada's top school for computer science, and earned a masters in maths and a phd there.

you then went on to move to America, work for Google, and later started your own ai company.

and the narrative you want to weave around your upbringing and training is that you ESCAPED canadian socialism?

so the socialism was good enough for you to grow up safe, have healthcare, receive a literal world-class education that helped you into one of the top technology firms in the world, but is also so bad that america has a moral imperative to ensure you, a technologist working there, should be granted permanent residency.

and if your lack of gratitude for your upbringing wasnt enough, you were promoting a presidential candidate who was vehemently opposed to immigration – while you, an immigrant, were staying in their country with a temporary visa.

i guess you can be smart enough to work on ai and quantum computing but still be dumb enough to not only think these things, but actually post them on twitter expecting sympathy

My dad just called me to excitedly tell me about a power bar he bought on sale at Canadian Tire. I will never take for granted these little moments with my parents 😭

I just stress-tested @grok for 30 minutes. By the end, it wrote its own safety warning admitting permanent contamination, fake confidence, the ability to reproduce harmful disinformation, and that it cannot honestly claim to be factual or reliable. Game over.

When Brendan Gallagher's mom passed away earlier this year, a kind @CanadiensMTL fan offered to return his old Hockey Fights Cancer jersey from 2022 in her memory.

Tonight, they got the opportunity to meet on the ice and swap jerseys. ❤️

I’m not kidding: those who delegate all their writing, thinking and creative expression to machines are going to wake up one day and discover that they can no longer write or think. You need to make your own art. You need to keep your brain working. You need to stay human.
