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. #tech #ai #canada #cdnpoli #generativeai

A sober take from @ShachiKurl@mstdn.ca of Angus Reid Institute of how Canadians are not on side with Mark Carney’s enthusiastic approach to AI or data centres. They aren’t uninformed or illiterate; they simply experience the sides of AI the government prefers not to focus on. #tech #ai #generativeai #politics #canada #cdnpoli

@parismarx@mastodon.online Wow, what a weak and credulous take (Carney’s, not yours).

Feels like it's straight out of a history textbook from the future, illustrating how the political class of the 2020s got to be completely out of touch with reality in the years before the event.

@parismarx@mastodon.online did he really say “AI can be used for […] improving art”?

@parismarx@mastodon.online I don't love this guy at all!!! He is destroying any notion of cohesion in #Canadian society, threatening the safety of our #environment, undermining the functioning of our federation, ignoring #IndigenousRights and title, and handing control to his corporate pals.

@parismarx@mastodon.online “Let’s give billions to the already obscenely wealthy TechBro class and the US economy!” Because that’s working SO well. How about not learning to rely on the bullshit-generating machines, and invest in tech that does things like, oh, I don’t know…. Results in better healthcare outcomes? Detects fraud, since Canadians are targeted and lose double-digit-billions a year to scams? Invests in distributed computing projects that research new drugs or treatments?
