@reesetheone1 Do you understand the severity of mental pathology that Trump and his crew suffer from?
There is no "working with" Trump, just living in his dollhouse.
@deanwball You think it is about marketing and branding? Fucking clueless, worse than your dumb AI.
Normal people can tell that AI leaders are psychopaths. Evil. Sorry that you're in a cult but not my problem.
@VisimoD@impoliticeye@Tyler_A_Harper Best to just ignore what these delusional psychopaths are saying. Unless you're a psychiatrist who needs to diagnose and treat them.
Key leverages Canada holds over the US:
Energy supply: ~61% of US crude oil imports, nearly all natural gas, and major electricity flows.
Critical minerals: Dominant source of potash (~79% of US needs), plus uranium, nickel, aluminum and others vital for industry and defense.
Canadian pension funds hold roughly $1T in US assets.
Canada is a top export market for many US states and can target retaliation (e.g., alcohol bans, tariffs on steel/dairy/electronics) at politically sensitive regions and sectors.
@trainofangels00 We have massive cards in Energy. 90% of gas comes from Canada. Oil and diesel over 50%. Time to increase the prices with inflation and then add excise tax. Our PM is worried about creating recession in US but that time will come.
I think most American voters would be surprised and alarmed if they learned that many leading Silicon Valley AI figures:
1) believe that AGI (artificial general intelligence, or the idea that AI that can pretty much do any cognitive task a human can, making it a substitute for human workers) is coming within the next few years, and that this is a very good thing,
2) believe that ASI (artificial superintelligence, or the idea of AI massively exceeding human intelligence) will follow shortly, perhaps even within a year or two of AGI, and that this is what we should actively strive for.
Letβs leave aside whether these are remotely correct as predictions. But these really are clearly stated aims: indeed, it's OpenAI's founding mission, Meta named its division Superintelligence Labs, and one lab is literally called Safe Superintelligence Inc.
Given votersβ stated preferences (72% already say they'd rather slow AI development than speed it up), if this information was truly widespread, I'm pretty sure they'd want to seriously tax compute in order to slow scaling. And if thatβs the aim, a natural way to start that is by raising the cost of building new data centers. This doesnβt have to the be main policy tool, but can be a useful initial organizing tool.
So in some ways, it's a actually remarkable that the anti-data-center movement reflects an emergent 'wisdom of the crowd' of sorts that seemingly exceeds the information possessed by most voters.
@NormOrnstein Every country has unqualified grifters. The embarrassment is that you allow them to be in positions of authority and influence. You make some symbolic gestures and statements about it to boost your image but that's about it.
@RadicalMiddles@TimHannan Do you expect a cartoon lunatic in a straight jacket?
Severe personality disorders, malignant narcissism, he is unable to acknowledge and process facts in a rational manner. He makes up lies to boost his delusional self-image. Detached from reality.
