  • In practice during covid, it made it worse. People came to BC, Canada explicitly because it had the best covid benefits, and on TV said that they were collecting the benefits for the purpose of doing drugs with zero intent on helping society.

  • Unfortunately, all it takes is one right wing nut job to liquidate the positions and sell them to corporate interests.

    See the decimation of Canada's National Energy Board under Modi and Poilievre's showrunner, former Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper. The board, by law, has to be half oil industry and half environmentalists. He fired all of the sane people and sold the empty spots to the oil industry.

  • Absolutely.

    It's also a testament to the terrifying numbing that the passage of time has on events.

    They describe WW2 where they called the Nazis, "the enemy", then in the next sentence compare The IRA to the fucking Nazis.

    Not even remotely close.

  • Well, and also navigating the minefields that the LLMs absolutely have copyrighted material in them that wasn't paid for or licensed. E.G. Dall-E can produce a full image of Fresh Cut Grass, a character owned by Critical Role.

    And that the stuff they produce isn't copyright-able.

  • Oh certainly can't help. But we know that the pesticides and herbicides have carryon effects to unintended species. Ones that the parent companies that invented them didn't report on because they don't kill those species. Ones that don't necessarily kill them, but lead to things like the white nose fungus running amock in bats, or lead to Colony Collapse Disorder or other infections in bee colonies.

  • Not just the bees, all bugs in North America have seen a 75% die off in the last 20 years.

    Big shocker that songbirds, which eat those bugs, have also seen a massive die off.

    Despite those deniers that still blame housecats, the true culprit is almost certainly pollution and pesticides.
