@nenshi Why are u ambassadorial for fed government

Congratulations to Enbridge on the approval of the Sunrise pipeline. It demonstrates the federal government’s commitment to advancing energy infrastructure. Alberta has the resources, expertise, and capacity, and we look forward to maintaining that same momentum on Alberta's projects and for Alberta's workers. cbc.ca/news/canada/ca…

@OldManRaster @TaraArmstrongBC Which book imo - I’m sincere on this

@squirtlevc @TaraArmstrongBC Pick up a book dumb fuck.

Slavery, cannibalism, and brutal warfare defined life in North America before the Crown established authority over these lands. Founding Canada to afford equal rights to all people was a good thing. I reject these new treaties because I reject UNDRIP's ethno-nationalism.

@zephyr_z9 @Indian_Bronson Is it too late now

Did u listen to me, anon??

@Noahpinion You first

My view is that although most technology has improved the world since 2009 or so, the negative impact of smartphone-enabled social media on American society has been so huge that it probably makes sense to want to return to before Steve Jobs announced the iPhone.

@Polymarket Most public sector back office jobs are form of welfare

JUST IN: More than half of former USAID workers reportedly still lack full-time jobs a year after DOGE dismantled the agency.

@BonesawMD Definitely changed cultural trajectory and did it from inside Canada (woke capital of the world)

Jordan Peterson changed the trajectory of the cultural landscape completely. Before this, progressives would dog walk everyone because they captured the frame of moral superiority and dominated language, which inevitably shapes and perverts reality. The anti-intellectualism of the right rendered them useless. A lot of them were –– in the kindest way possible –– too dumb or uneducated to put up much of a rebuttal. They just whined in a quiet and confused frustration. Peterson was precise with language, knowledgable, and articulate at a time nobody else on the right did their homework. His psyche has struggled with the burden and stress, but he'll go down as a majorly important figure in the history books.

@KobeissiLetter Isn’t this going to wash out as older generation passes away and passes baton to newer generation

The gap between older and younger equity holders has never been wider: Americans aged 70+ now hold a record 17% of all US equities and mutual fund shares outstanding. The percentage has TRIPLED since the 2008 Financial Crisis low. At the same time, Americans under 40 own just ~3%, in-line with 2003 levels. This percentage is HALF of what it was in the late 1980s. As a result, the difference between the two cohorts is now ~14 percentage points, the widest on record. By comparison, the gap stood at ~6 percentage points at the start of the 1990s. The wealth gap is widening.

@tobi @cbcwatcher We need regime change one way or other

Self recommending must-read for Canadians. “The path Canada is on, economically and culturally, is no longer sufficient to make us a flourishing world class nation.”

@Afinetheorem It’s for goverment usage, we expect that it will used for agentic workload querying transactional feed, surveillance feed, and goverment payout system. It’s basically goverments AI, but they will lease it for now to recoup some cost while they figure out data flows and so on

In literally hundreds of conversations with startups and firms on AI adoption, "not having access to a public AI cluster" has never come up once as a problem. Why? Because cloud compute is a competitive market anyone can easily buy into from anywhere in the world. I don't get it.

@DanielleFong Consumers will not tolerate corpo SaaS interfaces anymore, not even the enterprises. Exiting times

this tragic situation is being hopefully exploded

@macleans It has reproduced its elites so this must be fought hard

Canada’s bilingualism policy produces some strange spectacles: French schools in the Arctic, French CBC programming for Albertans, prime ministers speaking French in Australia, a $126-million French-language university in Toronto with just 25 students. In an essay for Maclean’s, commentator @JJ_McCullough argues that these are signs of a political doctrine that has become more revered than rationally defended. “State-mandated bilingualism conflicts with Canada’s self-image as a fair and merit-based democracy,” he writes. “And the worst may be yet to come.” McCullough writes that the usual case for bilingualism rests on shakier ground than Canadians like to admit. It’s often justified as a historic obligation to one of the country’s “two founding peoples.” But he points out that Canada was never meaningfully a country of only two peoples. In any case, he argues that official bilingualism was more of an accommodation to keep Quebec nationalism in check. “Official bilingualism nevertheless remains venerated by all manner of Canadian elites as a taboo in the truest sense,” he writes. McCullough’s point is that the language policy merely privileges a narrow pool of bilingual people from the Laurentian region to the upper ranks of politics, government and public institutions. The result, he argues, is a gatekeeping system that shuts many Canadians out of top careers. “This bilingual glass ceiling on political talent has warped Canadian democracy,” he writes. “Review the heads of basically any senior federal institution, be it the courts, Crown Corporations, the military or some major regulatory board and you’ll find a Canadian elite that remains much whiter and much more Laurentian than the country it rules.” In a country that presents itself as multicultural, meritocratic and inclusive, he argues, official bilingualism is becoming harder to defend as anything other than exclusion with financial and cultural costs. macleans.ca/politics/offic…

@Tablesalt13 This is going to be social scoring, with all inflow feeding one big surveillance AI

BREAKING: The government of Canada to build the world's first government owned AI supercomputer.

@ExnerPirot Ontario actively artificial detracts new entrants in this space (nuclear; smrs) - it has been fairly well documented

Ontario and Yukon advancing small modular reactor deployment in the Yukon 👇 Honestly nuclear is a great choice for remote communities and I’m so glad they’re pushing the concept forward

@BlackDumpling @KarinLitzcke Single handedly tried to fight compelled speech laws in Canada

He's right, you know. For all the shit Peterson gets let's not forget that the man took on the juggernaut at it's apex, and he didn't have some media conglomerate or friendly billionaire or this or that defending him. Homey went into that arena naked and afraid, but in he went, entirely voluntarily, when he could've just as easily kept his mouth shut. And look, I'm not saying he's a perfect person, not by any means but you're full of shit if you wanna tell me that old man didn't shine like a diamond in some very dark places. We all see a lot of big courage these days, but that man was the real deal.

@MAAWLAW @USTradeRep Mark is there anything that can be done to salvage this? My understanding is that we still have 10yrs left

“We’re kind of at the end of our rope and just asking for them to do this. Think about this, right? There are 2 countries that have retaliated economically against U.S. in the past year, China & Canada. So that’s kind of the company that they’re running in." - @USTradeRep Greer🤔

@nenshi You couldn’t even inspect water pipes

We released our energy plan last month. One of our core proposals: a new West Coast pipeline following the TMX right-of-way to B.C.'s southern coast, built with Indigenous partners, real consultation, and a route that actually has a path forward. This week, the federal government is reported to be considering exactly that. This is what good policy under good leadership looks like: realistic, collaborative, and ready for action. Alberta's energy future is too important for chaos and posturing. It needs a steady hand, a clear plan, and a government that's ready to lead. Alberta's New Democrats are ready.

@zan2434 @eddiejiao_obj @drewocarr @LTXStudio @modal_labs you are able to get that throughput - that’s incredible (I’m presuming it’s using breakpoints for now?). Demo is incredibly cool

@squirtlevc @eddiejiao_obj @drewocarr @LTXStudio @modal_labs we just generate every aspect ratio simultaneously

Imagine every pixel on your screen, streamed live directly from a model. No HTML, no layout engine, no code. Just exactly what you want to see. @eddiejiao_obj, @drewocarr and I built a prototype to see how this could actually work, and set out to make it real. We're calling it Flipbook. (1/5)
