@VanCityVice Anybody who thinks that people who are this damaged and far gone can be helped by safer supply and outpatient therapies are dreaming in technocolour.
@woolyonezeez I have 2 master’s degrees, read 60 nonfiction books a year, and work 50 hours a week.
I would prefer that a duopoly of the U.S. and China not dominate the future of AI. It is not in the interest of Canadians to be 100% beholden to foreign powers in this area.
@Smileyyeg NaPo… the same paper that demonizes the census also demonizes attempts to regulate what platforms and AI companies do with our information.
It’s a libertarian rag owned by a U.S. hedge fund trying to undermine Canada’s sovereignty.
These are all facts.
@ClydeDoSomethin Meta & Google: “give us every piece of personal information that we can use for any reason forever ”
You: “you had me at ‘give us’”
StatsCan: “did you do French immersion?”
You: “Communist tyrant!!”
@aran_mcmahon 1) Yes I am okay with answering those questions.
2) I can think of 100 policy areas where data on those questions is relevant.
3) You give Meta and Google that information and far more invasive information every day.
@aran_mcmahon@nationalpost Cute remarks aren’t civic dialogue.
I genuinely want to know your objection. Especially in a context where we’re both coughing up unlimited personal information right now to Elon Musk to do literally anything he wants with.
@nationalpost Every day people give up every possible piece of personal information to Google, X, Meta, with zero potential for transparency or accountability.
Then freak out when public officials ask them if they ever did French immersion.
