If we are going to call the cost of public services a “loss,” then Canadian police forces lost $20 billion last year while delivering no birthday presents and also killing a lot of people.

I made a zine about why AI sucks I thought people might enjoy looking at it

[J. J. Ellis @jjellisart]

AI is not inevitable. Anyone who says it is has a financial stake in its success and is trying to see a return on their investment.

When simulation becomes the norm, it weakens the human capacity for discernment. As a result, our social bonds close in upon themselves, forming self-referential circuits that no longer expose us to reality. We thus come to live within bubbles, impermeable to one another. Feeling threatened by anyone who is different, we grow unaccustomed to encounter and dialogue. In this way, polarization, conflict, fear and violence spread. What is at stake is not merely the risk of error, but a transformation in our very relationship with truth.

[Luke Savage @LukewSavage]

This story is so good. The Fords, both Rob and Doug, built their whole political brand on tabloidy bullshit calling out people on city council for expensing office supplies and my man quite literally used public funds to buy himself a $30 million private jet.

Premier Doug Ford says his government is looking at massive prison expansion in Ontario, including modular units and said he doesn't care if the province "stacks them 10 high."

We see pictures of the beautiful gift we’ve been given from outerspace, and we’re down here nuking it with bombs. How undeserving we are

[Howllr 🇨🇦🍁 @howllr]

Eight of Ontario’s largest regional governments — including Niagara — will have their leaders appointed by the province instead of elected.

This reduces local accountability & moves decision-making further from the people it affects.

This is not democracy. This is a power grab.

1. If used for evaporative cooling, you want the water to not have much stuff in it because the stuff doesn’t evaporate and eventually you have a concentrated soup you have to get rid of.

2. If closed-loop cooling (new data centers are mostly closed loop now) it doesn’t matter that much because not that much water is being removed from water systems.

3. In some circumstances we can and do, but you need to get the gray water to the right place which sometimes isn’t worth it.

4. Overall, I think we should be less concerned about absolute gallons of water “used” than about capacity additions to municipal water systems and who pays for them, which is an equal worry with drinkable or gray water!
