every country is going to lead on ai. every country is going to have the biggest data centres. every country is going to build small modular reactors to power them. every country is gearing up to compete on quantum computing. i’m so tired of all this bullshit.
I love having a prime minister who completely buys into the tech industry’s framing of AI, such that he’s throwing billions of dollars at AI companies and pushing more Canadians into relying on their shitty products. To him, the core issue is “engagement and adoption,” regardless of the drawbacks.

first the pope comes out as an ai-critical luddite, now he’s literally quoting gandalf in the anti-ai encyclical? these popes are almost making catholicism look cool
now that google is being sacrificed to the ai demons, is it time for the encyclopedia to make a comeback? 👀
i’m getting so fed up with seeing ai-generated signs in small businesses
ok i guess it’s time for me to watch the carney ai press conference and get very angry
ai boosters: ai is inevitable, it cannot be stopped, you just need to accept it us gov: hey, anthropic, we’re falling for your PR, you need to rein in mythos and fable anthropic: *turns off mythos and fable*
forgive me for bringing a Thread to bsky but this is what i think any time i see ai-generated lord of the rings stuff
