Along with fellow neighbors/residents, I received a mail from #JustinTrudeau asking to support his handpicked candidate, Laura Palestini, in the #LaSalleEmardVerdun by-election.
Well, sorry Justin, it's too late. I already cast my vote.
That said. I'm surprised the polling station was busier than I thought.
Tonight on #WFMU: author Helen Phillips joins host @markhurst on Techtonic to discuss her new book 'HUM.' The novel is set in a city much like New York, in the near future, which is bristling with surveillance cameras, addictive devices, ambient AI, and accelerating climate change. The novel tells how a mother, father, and their two kids navigate this landscape, encountering situations that sound all too familiar in our real-life dystopia. (6pm EDT)

> On the Microsoft section of anonymous social network Blind (where you're required to verify that you have a corporate email of the company in question), one Microsoft worker complained in Mid-December 2023 of "AI taking their money," saying that "the cost of AI is so much that it is eating up pay raises, and that things will not get better."

Is this paper well-known? It's an Open Access paper that hasn't been peer reviewed, but it seemed compelling when I read it.
Any time the abstract says "you're running straight into Gödel's First Incompleteness Theorem" it's never a good thing.
If it's provably impossible to eliminate hallucinations, then all the billions of dollars watts spent on Generative AI will be burned on a pyre of tech nerd hubris.
The TicTok ban is about censoring information on Israeli genocide in Gaza, not about China or US national security

"Suspect did not fire shots and never had sight of Trump, says Secret Service chief."
It looks like this was not an assassination attempt, if Trump's visit was unscheduled and Routh didn't fire any shots. Did he even know Trump was there? He certainly couldn't see him. More like a mentally ill man with access to guns acting out.
Trump is already trying to spin a martydom narrative, blaming the Democrats for telling the truth about him.
They should continue doing this.
