Dear , Bill in the auto parts department at your Calgary Country Hills store has now saved my life - and probably the lives many others in my riding - on multiple occasions, lol. He is a credit to your company and frankly, a national treasure. 🙏🏻

This story may not receive the attention that it should. Slovakia been providing critical support to Ukraine and stability to the region. How this situation unfolds should be of interest to many.

gov’t will always support quality, fact-based and local Canadian journalism in a fair digital marketplace. This bill makes it harder for big digital platforms like Facebook and Google to steal local journalists’ articles and repost them without credit on one of their networks 3/3

“For the hundreds of millions of dollars Canadian taxpayers have spent on this system, we should get a visa processing system that is fair, rigorous, and fast — not the debacle the federal government is currently presiding over.”

MP retirements? Demotions? Leadership rivals?
In Ottawa backrooms, this week the tea is hot on the reasons why rumours of a cabinet shuffle are swirling.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers.
This hatred gradually developed from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence.
It took time. #GenocidePreventionDay

New from me:
Misinformation is turning into a meme.
Society needs to be fighting the spread of true propaganda. But the institutions charged with doing so are playing a dangerous game.

Indigenous women's remains in landfills should not be normalized. Everything must be done to provide closure to the families of murder victims in Winnipeg. I spoke in the House last night to call the government to action. We should all be haunted by this.

StackOverflow has temporarily banned users from posting AI-generated responses from ChatGPT, with mods saying the volume of incorrect but plausible-looking replies was just too great for them to deal with. Details here: theverge.com/2022/12/5/2349

I just read an @OpenAI #ChatGPT generated text into the Hansard. I asked it to introduce itself to the House and make a case surrounding whether or not it should be regulated. This was its response.

Once ChatGPT can solve the problem of citations, it will likely immediately overtake Google in terms of utility.

I remain convinced that #ChatGPT is just a bunch of third-year undergrads in a room somewhere, typing as fast as they can. Cause that’s what it reads like.

This is an interesting take. A lawyer working on moderation/enforcement at a private company actually knows quite a bit about ToS, which is what is relevant to their policy decision. Not the Bill of Rights at all, despite the current popular framing of the issue in the discourse.

Following this thought through on a different direction, I wonder what the over/under is if the first move to outright ban GPT3 in a westernized country comes before the end of 2023.

Seriously, though. The censorship pressure applied to social media over the last decade pales in comparison to the censorship pressure that will be applied to AI.

Can you imagine CBC holding a similar panel on Quebec without having anyone on from Quebec or even east of Regina?

Physicists have used Google's quantum computer to send a signal through a wormhole, a shortcut in space-time first theorized by Einstein and Rosen in 1935. The landmark experiment was published today in Nature. Lots to say about it. Here's my deep dive:

Yikes. Several reporters have steadfastly corrected folks about the current state of media subsidization as it relates to (traditional) print vs broadcast media. I wonder if they knew about this / agree with this. 😬
