AI isn't driving up prices. Oligarchs are. And they aren't using their own money but our retirement funds to do it.

Ai is just a tool. One that is being built out because the billionaires demand it. They are already wielding this tool to bludgeon the masses.

Wasn't one of the main criticisms about Carney that he wasn't a politician and was an outsider?

Well she isn't playing a high schooler anymore. Pretty sure that disqualifies her.

He will run the country like he does all of his businesses; into the ground.

He even failed at running a casino. Except this time he will likely be burying thousands of Americans along with the country.

Only way there is a mass rexit is if the bot accounts get fed up and leave.

Can't say I'm looking forward to swarms of bot accounts descening on Lemmy

They were looking at a world map during a discussion about Ukraine.

Only the photo of them got AI enhanced after the fact. It is clearly written in the article.

Legality has nothing to do with it. It is super simple.

ABC didn't fire Jimmy Kimmel.The people on that ship are paying a high cost for that defiance. They are merely externalities for Disney's punishment. I suppose terrifying people is a nice side effect for those in charge. But retribution is the motivation.

Simple as that.

Just like Amazon in Quebec. I think both these unionisations are huge embarrassments for Carney and you will see the federal government continue its attacks on unionised workers.

Hondabros prefer older Honda's. A pre 2015 will last longer than any new honda.

Buy a new honda if you have a crush on the person at the service desk. You will be seeing them often

USSR - United States Soviet Republic

He could stop sending weapons to Israel.

The world isn't moving towards war and authoritarianism. It's being pushed there by the very people that own the AI companies.

Federal government is spending 13 billion on a VW battery plant in St Thomas, Ontario

That's 13 billion dollars / 41.million Canadians = $317 per Canadian

This is projected to employ 3000 people. Canada Post employs 62,300 people.

Canada post employs 21 X as many people as the VW plant hopes too.

CP could lose 1 billion a year for 273 years before it would cost the Canadian tax payer as much per job as the VW plant workers do. And that is if the VW plant stays on target and doesn't end up like North Volt

I don't know what the path forward for Canada Post is but the government narrative is whack. If the government is trying to save money why are they spending so much for 3000 jobs and celebrating that as a huge win?

It seems like they don't value workers or Canadians just corporate profits at the Canadian tax payers expense.

We should expect more from our government.

Internet echo chambers are literally "Divide and Conquer" at scale.

Wake me up when the masses give up their algorithmic app addictions.

One of the most revolutionary actions people can take is put down their phones.

BC ferries is a disaster now too.

I agree I suspect this is a big one. 100% two income families are going to have less kids, and less time, and more income (hence as countries get richer they have fewer children)

But a career is less and less a woman's choice and more and more it's a requirement.

If average families could get by on one income with a decent standard of living I'm sure more women would decide to stay at home or work part time. I know at least one that would anyway..

Buying Twitter and turning it into Nazi heaven all the while banning anyone who disagreed with him under the banner of "free speech" wasn't a big enough clue for you?

But it's nothing new . Listen to the dollop podcast on Elon Musk. He didn't appear out of a vacuum. People are formed by their upbringings.

For someone who is engrossed in SCIFI what he is presenting will be salvaged from the wreckage is terribly optimistic.

If society doesn't wake up and organize itself the data centers will likely be used as the operational epicenter of the dystopian police state.

One could easily argue that is the expected end use of the data centers by their owners and the AI hype cycle is deliberare con forcing the plebs to forge their own chains with their retirement accounts.
