Except they outsource that stuff to India/Philippines.

North Americans only need to be smart enough to consume.

Its crazy cuz this would have never happened if they continued educating Gen Z/Alpha on computer basics like they did Millenials. But now kids in school don’t understand anything about computers because they only have ever used apps. I have a buddy that teaches a highschool computer elective and he spends his first class explaining files, folders, and basic computer functions.

Tin foil hat time: The ‘assumption’ that internet-natives like GenZ would pick up where millennials left off, was in fact a deliberate dereliction.

I’ll be voting for NDP next election, almost certainly. Avi’s platform is heads and shoulders above what Singh was bringing to the table.

Carney was the best choice we had at the time and probably the right guy to lead Canada during this period of global economic transition. But he does not share a vision with the majority of Canadians.

Oh shit I thought this was US politics.

We don’t need a new party IF Avi is any indication of the direction the NDP is going.

“We see everything - from living rooms to naked bodies,” one worker reportedly said.

I’ll hold my breath for a 3rd party when Americans start primarying sitting democrats.

Until then you’re basically asking for something much harder to accomplish than what’s already not happening.

Got C’s in highschool

The Liberal government might as well have titled their strategy “AI to the core.” The document is imprinted with excessive promise, but it’s sorely lacking essential safeguards to protect the population and ensure that the benefits of this technology don’t only benefit a handful of tech giants and investors. It proposes a massive acceleration of AI adoption by companies, without worrying about the consequences for female workers and workers, especially young people who are already seeing their career prospects evaporating. This government is imposing revolutionary technology on us without any public debate. Instead of imposing stringent regulations to protect workers, youth, privacy and our water and energy resources, he prefers to “hurry up and boil the cage,” as the Silicon Valley motto goes. That’s why, before hitting head down, no brakes, we need a strong regulatory framework. All other sectors of business in this country, from forestry to banking, are regulated. Curiously, yet, when it comes to generative artificial intelligence controlled by billionaires close to Trump, the usual rules don’t apply. The neo-Democrats support the development of cutting-edge technologies. For AI, this translates to responsible machine learning, with narrow and encircled data sets, and targeted applications. We call for an AI strategy that puts the human at the heart of experience. A strategy that protects Canada’s jobs, data and natural resources. Not a strategy that mimics AI chatbots’ worst drifts. Present them illusory advantages and flatter CEOs of big tech companies by telling them exactly what they want to hear.

• Official Statement From NDP Leader Avi Lewis

I love when people think I’m going to get in trouble for following the SOPs and maintaining compliance.

Like go right ahead tell my boss that I’m doing my job correctly.

Also start a physical hobby if you can. Exercise, besides the mental benefits, is going to be a more powerful distraction than anything intellectually adjacent IMO.

It is concerningly ambiguous.

It’s kind of a catch-22 finding a solution that works for non tech folk.

You can send up to 100MB files on signal if that’s acceptable to you.

Gotcha fair enough. I just figured since you were using google products it would be acceptable.

What about whatsapp? I’ve found it good for sending larger video files.

Context?

• Protect Canadians and children against the risks from AI and online harms.
• Provide Canadians access to free AI literacy training, including reaching one million entry-level post-secondary students.
• Support creating up to 250,000 new jobs through AI adoption by 2031.
• Boost Canada’s business adoption of AI from 12 per cent today to 60 per cent by 2034.
• Build a world-leading supercomputer as part of significantly enhanced sovereign infrastructure by 2031.
• Build a multilateral alliance so Canada moves from reliance to resilience by having sovereign autonomy in key AI capabilities.

…

Definitely not excited for AI usage to jump from 12% to 60%.

First they’re gonna have to post secondary students basic literacy from what my friends who teach are telling me.

I’m rather suspicious about a super computer and an international AI alliance. Like we’ve already seen how the UK has gone all out on surveillance tech. I know something like this is probably necessary given how vital cybersecurity is going to be in the coming decades.

Ya fuck at this rate I’m gonna have to go outside to talk to a real person before the end of summer.

If SCOTUS wasn’t complicit maybe they would find replacing human workers with AI illegal like China’s did.

I found an interesting summary of court cases regarding AI’s infringement of authors’/artists’ copywrite.
