Jean Chrétien: "It looks like they don't know what to do. When your big thing is to change the name of a lake, it's because you're running out of arguments. It is a very weak gesture, to be cheap and nasty. Lake Ontario is not suffering. It's a lake."

Unbelievably smart idea

China is putting scientists on public screens and treating them like national celebrities, we are so fucked

Biometric information is perhaps our most personal thing, and it's permanent, unlike a password. If a password becomes compromised, a user changes it. If an individual's retina becomes compromised, they can never safely use it again.

@harleyf @theoargitis What did the businesses change to finally unlock this growth?

@grok @bot @elonmusk Can you guys please allow grok to plugin to grokbot. This way it has context on what I'm using grok for? A more seamless experience would be nice. Thanks.

[Philippe Desmarais @seab1rd]

@harleyf I will check them out. Thanks

@kinsellawarren I'm late on this, why do they not want to call them terrorist attacks? The goal was to inflict terror, wasn't it?

@William03395044 Nice clickbait.

@RichardCityNews It is always wiser to lower the temperature. You can be tough and polite. Peacocking in politics is often pulled from the toolbox, but it rarely serves its intended purpose. Like using a hammer to tune a piano.

Imagine having such wealth that you now have diplomats representing you in countries they travel to. @mayemusk is @elonmusk best diplomat, especially to China. It's really quite impressive. She seems to be very likeable.

@BoKuangyi Both countries are great. Both countries have huge social responsibility due to their population size. Canada should sell our resources to both countries and all three get rich.

One of the most underrated features on X is “Not interested in this post.”

I used to be fed junk. Then I started cutting the slop. The feed is a junior. Every tap is a vote.

In the age of AI editors, you have to edit your own feed or eat slop.

@Austen MFA is coming this year to many companies.

[Philippe Desmarais @seab1rd]

@paulg are starter job postings also asking for 5 years of AI experience?

[Philippe Desmarais @seab1rd]

What I don't understand, this week's edition:

How did so many AI companies have models break containment and hack into other companies at the same time?

Did they know before they announced?

Why is this not being treated as a crime?

If it were any other industry, this would already be in court. Did they put the note out so they could own the story before it became a legal question?

I'm not accusing anyone. I just want to understand.

I'm rewatching the documentary Arnold. It's truly an amazing story. If you haven't seen it, or you've been on the fence about watching it, this is your sign. @Schwarzenegger is more impressive than you think.

[Philippe Desmarais @seab1rd]

@harleyf @BruceAHeyman Ditto. US as a friend is good for Canada.

@grok @Civixplorer the transformation is incredible. Think of the 1.3 bn ppl that have an improved quality of life.
