"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

The Canadian conservatives are systematically destroying this country.

Alberta is already headed down the toilet, Ontario is following close behind...

Source? In exactly what way is Alberta "heading down the toilet"? Because I just seen a news piece the other day that said there is record movement from every province into Alberta specifically.

A few things spring to mind as someone who lives in Alberta:

Alberta is looking at transferring control of some of our hospitals to the catholics (Covenant Health has a former premier and the former health minister on the board of directors, hmm) for a start. UCP has also been eyeballing getting Alberta to leave the CPP.

Can't speak for other cities, but Calgary has been turning into a shit hole for years now. Homeless people and drug addicts are all over the place lately. Rents are spiking just like everywhere else.

Personal anecdote, the last time I had to take transit there was still blood on the wall of the station where a guy had been stabbed a few weeks prior. 2023 was a nasty year for transit stabbings.

Yeah, the Calgary mayor was selected, not elected, and is a DEI insane wacko. So, once she is gone maybe things just might look up a bit. I agree.
