My understanding is that AI companies want universities to embrace this tech so that profs and students help “train” it. Seems reasonable to ask university leaders whether their embrace of AI will use education to simultaneously refine this tech for all kinds of horrific applications.
congrats to those who worked hard these last months to manufacture consent for the us-zionist attack against Iran in the name of “feminism” and “the people”
I know Canada’s electorate is mainly focused on the economy right now, but the abject failure of the Carney government to offer even token support for international law should be a real black eye.
A complete abandonment of Canadian values at a critical moment in global history.
Americans talk about how Iran oppresses its women then we bomb them.

Much of my youth revolved around the website ZineLibrary. It went down around Occupy in a massive loss for a movement whose ideas and knowledge mostly doesn't circulate online but in person.
Anyway I've put it back online with a *thousand* anarchist zines:

In 2019, Premier Ford substantially cut OSAP grants and axed the interest-free six-month grace period before graduates had to repay OSAP loans. He's again limiting grants as well as vastly increasing loans — a recipe for massive student debt, to begin being repaid immediately post-graduation.

This was a hard one to make — mostly because we shouldn’t even have to talk about this.
We should be focusing on the victims. The families. The community.
But some selfish, awful people are using this moment for their own political agendas.
We can’t let them do that:
The way parents have been pushing back on divisive narratives and showing compassion for everyone impacted is a true show of community. It says so much about Tumbler Ridge.

Regarding Washington Post letting go of a third of its staff this is what PP and the Conservatives want to happen to CBC. They want to ghettoize the news to make the mainstream landscape the mouthpiece for Conservatism ripe with misinformation
Canada considers the US to be a safe country for asylum-seekers.
The reason the Canadian government and Hockey Canada are so keen to embrace Heated Rivalry is that it’s the best PR campaign the federally-funded governing body has received since they used children’s registration fees to pay for a sexual assault settlements. Only 4 years ago.
This is so real.
Screenshot of a tweet from Evan Solomon. It has two photos of him meeting with the Israeli Ambassador to Canada with the caption: This morning, I met with Israel’s Ambassador to Canada as part of ongoing engagement on technology, AI, and economic development. Dialogue matters, particularly in complex times. / Ce matin, j'ai rencontré l'ambassadeur d'Israël au Canada dans le cadre d'un engagement continu en matière de technologie, d'intelligence artificielle et de développement économique. Le dialogue est important, en particulier dans les périodes complexes.

Since so many people are fangirling over Carney's supposed "historic" speech in Davos, I want to offer an alternative reading.
This is not left cynicism, but a sober reading of imperial positioning in this moment.
1) Carney squarely positioned Canada as a middle power.
