Totally agree it's dystopian. One thing making it worse: Farhi owns ~60% of the vacant downtown spots kills foot traffic and promotes a vicious cycle with homelessness and addiction. It's another angle to consider don't you think?
@CouchNish Anecdotes aren't the facts.
Most kids are still on apps. Easy to get around, platforms barely enforce. Safety unchanged for most, some even feel less safe.
No real drop in online harms either. Mixed results at best.

@MarcMillerVM Minister, outsourcing kids to Ottawa bureaucrats and a commission doesn’t promote good parenting. It shackles families and kids with clumsy mandates. Give parents and platforms a golden path: tools, incentives, and authority. Not this divisive, wasteful, authoritarian nonsense.
@sama@sama 5.5 is good, but it optimizes for technical correctness over the broader goal.
It loses itself in details. The response language it uses reflects this. Technical, correct, autistic tunnel vision.
I layer GLM 5.1 or Opus on top to steer the goal and support writing.
The 2008 crisis jab feels like a deflection. Harley’s just asking what our oversized federal public service is actually optimizing for especially when outcomes aren’t matching the size.
Public servants do important work, but calling the whole bureaucracy “national security redundancy” is a stretch.
@RomanFisher__ You're either being misled by the media or intentionally misleading. Poilievre was playing on being educated: "there's only one thing worse than being uneducated and that's being badly educated". Implying Carney makes bad decisions.
