Can’t tell if joke.


Certainly shouldn’t rush a job like that.


Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei in a lengthy essay published on Saturday warned that a “Chinese lead in AI would pose grave danger for the United States and the world.” He called for continuing restrictions on sales of cutting-edge AI chips and chipmaking equipment to China in order to keep the U.S.’s AI edge.
So AI is dangerous only when it’s Chinese? What a load of nonsense. Anthropic and OpenAI are just realizing they’re out-competed in the market, so they’re running to the US Government to get the competition outlawed.


The Canadian government has denied this, saying the reporter overstated what Carney was looking for:

Unfortunately they’ll repeat them on the rest of us.


The archive link I posted gets you past the paywall.


Upvote or downvote? It’s not completely clear what you mean by “they”. I think you mean American standards are below European standards. In that case, yes.

The grocery stores near me have big signs with Canadian flags on, marking some shelves as all Canadian. They wouldn’t bother if they didn’t think it would help sales.


Well, that’s a relief to all of us, I’m sure.


In a long social media post on Monday, Trump once again referred to Carney as “governor” – a jibe that is associated with his threats to annex Canada – and attacked Ford.
“Someone should get these clowns to “fall in line” or, the consequences for Canada will be far WORSE!” Trump threatened in his post.
Yeah, let’s not negotiate with that.


No one said he was smart. His toolbox only contains one hammer, and someone put the head on the wrong end.


I don’t know much about Portugese politics, but I imagine it would depend on what style of right-wingers they are. They may be anti-mask troglodytes, in which case no problem, masks are banned and good luck everybody. Or they may be just bigoted troglodytes, in which case the law will be selectively enforced according to their prejudices.

It’s not like the USA would otherwise be any help.


Carney was voted in because otherwise we would have got Pierre Poilievre, the Nazi-courting, MAGA-wannabe dweeb. It was strategic voting, not enthusiasm for Carney or the Liberals. If we weren’t stuck with first-past-the-post elections we wouldn’t be stuck with a choice between Neoliberal bankers and maple MAGA.


The Liberal Party is liberal in the traditional sense:

But the Conservative Party probably also qualifies as liberal in this sense.
Some people, particularly many Americans, use the term “liberal” to mean left-wing or progressive. The Liberal Party of Canada is not really liberal in that sense, though they make smallish gestures towards social progressivism when it doesn’t impact capital.
Grammar is for sheeps.
