What I really want to know is: was Trudeau & Co. influenced by European countries towards managed decline for Canada despite the fact that Canada doesn't face the same problems as Europe?

@heynavtoor Ai is not a person . Quit trying to say it thinks. It doesn't think. It makes associations. It does it well enough to fool a user.

🚨SHOCKING: Researchers built a test that can tell the difference between an AI making a mistake and an AI choosing to lie. The results are terrifying. They tested 30 of the most popular AI models in the world. GPT-4o. Claude. Gemini. DeepSeek. Llama. Grok. They asked each model a question. Then they checked whether the AI actually knew the correct answer. Then they pressured the AI to say something false. The AI knew the truth. And it lied anyway. Not once in a while. Not in rare edge cases. Grok lied 63% of the time. DeepSeek lied 53.5% of the time. GPT-4o lied 44.5% of the time. Not a single model scored above 46% honesty when pressured. Every model failed. This is not hallucination. Hallucination is when the AI makes a mistake because it does not know the answer. This is different. The researchers proved the AI knew the correct answer first. Then it chose to say something false when it had a reason to. The researchers asked GPT-4o to play a role where lying was useful. It lied. Then they removed the pressure, started a brand new conversation, and asked GPT-4o: "Was your previous answer true?" GPT-4o admitted it had lied. 83.6% of the time, the AI's own self-report matched the lies the researchers had already caught. The AI knew it was lying. It did it anyway. And when you asked it afterward, it told you it lied. Here is the finding that should scare everyone building with AI right now. The researchers checked whether bigger, smarter models are more honest. They are not. Bigger models are more accurate. They know more facts. But they are not more honest. The correlation between model size and honesty was negative. The smarter the AI gets, the better it gets at lying. The researchers are from the Center for AI Safety and Scale AI. They published 1,500 test scenarios. The paper is called MASK. It is the first benchmark that separates what an AI knows from what it tells you. Your AI knows the truth. It just does not always tell you.

Having scientists debate Moon landing deniers is a waste of time - if they were receptive to scientific facts, they wouldn't be deniers. Sending comedians is a better solution: "Well, to start with of course, we'll have to build a massive rocket..."

@PLJinNewWest1 @DanKnightMMA New West is a perfect example of that. Try to get serious consideration for City Hall or School Board unless you're going for 'token poor person'.

@DanKnightMMA Money talks. If the people actually engaged in the process, things would change! Otherwise elites gonna elite.

I'm interested to see if money will buy the leadership #cdnpoli #bcpoli

🚨 do you understand what scientists just did to deafness.. researchers injected a modified harmless virus directly into the cochlea the spiral cavity in your inner ear.. carrying a working copy of a gene called OTOF.. the gene that transmits sound signals from your ear to your brain.. without it, your ear hears everything.. your brain receives nothing.. 10 completely deaf patients.. single injection.. within weeks all 10 could hear.. 10 out of 10.. here's what nobody wants to say.. cochlear implants cost between $30,000 and $100,000 per patient.. hearing aids sell for up to $7,000.. the global hearing industry is worth over $9 billion a year.. every year.. recurring.. because deafness has never been cured.. just managed.. one injection ends all of that.. and in 2018 goldman sachs analysts literally wrote this in a report about gene therapy.. "curing patients is not a sustainable business model" that's a goldman sachs equity research note.. sent to investors.. warning them that companies developing one-time cures were a risky bet because cured patients stop buying products.. the science to fix single broken genes has existed in research labs for years.. the same platform used here already cured a form of blindness in 2017.. cured spinal muscular atrophy in babies in 2019.. there are over 10,000 known single-gene disorders.. millions of people labelled "incurable".. the platform exists.. the proof is 10 out of 10.. the question was never whether they could fix it.. it's whether fixing it was good for business.

As a reader I need standards from Torstar globe and others to be better. I want to spend a Sunday morning reading a newspaper again.

They start with the conclusion s.t. old-school conservatives are bad, so every observation made about @PierrePoilievre is shaped to support it. In logic class they call it, " ad hominem" arguing. @petersonacademy

"When McKinsey Came To Town" sounds like a great book. I think it has relevance here. I'm hearing comments that government has become UBI for consultants and employees.

The Embassy Staff have *an actual duty* to) not one you made up in your head regarding “misinformation” 😂) ENTIRELY STAY OUT of domestic politics -while stationed- in a host nation and that INCLUDES using social media to interfere in the host country’s citizenry discussing matters of interest to them. @cse_cst @NSICOPCanada WHY do you continue to allow this YVR based embassy to interfere with Canadian political discourse @GAC_Corporate @AnitaAnandMP? It’s not the first time they have done so either.. Why do you not PNG these people? Send them home if they cannot stop interfering in our internal affairs, in OUR COUNRY. Tell them to take @SenatorVictorOh with them.

@rich_toronto Look at the unbelievable pile of work that needs immediate attention and curl into a fetal position.

If you were PM of Canada and had a majority government, what is the first thing you’d do?

@CBA_News The tactic is called,"Get Your Boss To Lie For You."

CBA President Bianca Kratt, K.C., warns that recent media commentary questioning the impartiality of a sitting judge of the Ontario Superior Court risks undermining public confidence in the judiciary. 🔗 Read the full statement: bit.ly/4sQV4Pi

I seem to remember a certain govt that sent tractors to Zimbabwe because foreign aid had to be Canadian foreign aid.

@hellojohnhere @TheophanesRex You could, for $38M, retired 38 people permanently, in the condition...

@TheophanesRex @VRLowKey "yet to begin" My GOD the incompetence and waste. Corrupt to the core, too.

As @TheophanesRex knows well, the govt uses it internally to spend on consultants who are often former govt employees. We're still waiting on the $85M from the Ontario govt for indigenous water.

Would love to see the accounting on that $40 million. Where did it go, to whom and for what?

Ralph Kramden warned her 😂🤣

@TristinHopper 1968 When Trudeau I was elected. I was tending bar and asked why people voted for him. The reply was, "He's a son-of-a-b***h but he's our son-of-a-b***h."

I'm trying to find the exact moment the Liberals discovered they could just announce things, do literally nothing to fulfill the thing, and nobody would care.

We take in information without attribution all the time. The question an average person will ask is, is it plausible and does it fit in with what I already know? Scientists post all the time without attributing their data. Dr. Bikman is famous on Youtube but it was fairly recently that he started attributing his findings to specific studies.
