@PaulChato Don't tell me anything I'm almost finished watching Game of Thrones

Wonderful ending to A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. It wraps up loose ends, and concludes how we expected it should. After a great ripping yarn I love a slow denouement that lets me spend more time with the characters.

Ok fine - maybe you don't want to listen to me. I'm just a 25-year-old on the internet. But maybe you'll listen to them. I documented every major warning from the people actually building AI. Every CEO. Every founder. They're all saying the same thing. Read this slowly: • Mustafa Suleyman, CEO of Microsoft AI: "Being a lawyer, an accountant, a project manager, a marketing person - most of those tasks will be fully automated by AI within 12 to 18 months." • Elon Musk: "AI and robots will replace all jobs. Working will be optional." Called AI his "biggest fear." • Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic: AI will eliminate 50% of entry-level white-collar jobs. Unemployment could hit 20%. Called it "unusually painful." Then said: "Most lawmakers are unaware this is about to happen." • Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI: "Some areas, I think just like totally, totally gone." Said changes that normally take 75 years will be compressed into a short period. Admitted he loses sleep over it. • Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia: "Every job will be affected, and immediately. It is unquestionable." • Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase: "It will eliminate jobs. People should stop sticking their head in the sand." Warned mass AI layoffs without safeguards could trigger "civil unrest." Said he'd welcome a government ban on mass-firing for AI. • Stuart Russell (author of the most-used AI textbook in history): Political leaders are "staring 80% unemployment in the face". • Kai-Fu Lee, VC & former head of Google China: Called predictions of 50% job displacement by 2027 "uncannily accurate." These aren't journalists. These aren't influencers. These aren't politicians trying to get elected. These are the people building it. Funding it. Deploying it. And not one of them is saying your job is safe.

Horrible news. Catherine O'Hara has died. Same age as me. No confirmation of how. It was Catherine who recommended Second City classes to me in 1977. I turned down Andrew Alexander's offer to join Second City to help form The Frantics. Heartbroken. tmz.com/2026/01/30/cat…

@PaulChato Very touching video tribute Paul. Thanks for sharing that. I was glued to my tv set watching SCTV back in the day and enjoyed every minute of Catherine’s tremendous talent.

Catherine O'Hara ❤️

John Candy and Catherine O'Hara both made the world a better place.

@torontolibrary What happened to libraries staying open as warming centres during this extreme cold weather and snow storm?! Shame on the City of Toronto.

⚠️ Due to deteriorating weather conditions, all library branches will be closed today. Stay safe and warm!

@PaulChato I’ll refuse to vote in any election just to make sure you live forever.

Our present government is dreadful, but at my age all I can do is wait for the next election cycle or death. Whichever comes first.

@CP24 It’s a complete mess in downtown Toronto. When the TDSB closes schools you know it’s bad weather. Advice from your reporters should be stay off the roads and stay home, if possible.
