  • Canadian goes down to selfishly support the economy of a country threatening annexation, who is famous for illegal and immoral detention, imprisonment and deportation to 3rd party country's prisons, may get pickedup by ICE themself.

    "I never thought they would do this to me" fits pretty well. Visiting them to see a hockey game is a form of vote, and support.

  • He wants to play to his base. Canadian licensed gun owners are overwhelmingly not the problem.

    US border porosity is.

    This is a wedge issue. Cons lock up the gun vote which is larger than you think, especially in rural areas.

    The Libs lockup the antigun vote popular in urban areas and especially Québec.

    Both parties have abandoned "good government" policies, with over and under reach respectively while ignoring the real issues.

    If you want to tackle gun crime, that 2 billion Fentanyl Czar and Hellicopter patrol needs to be chasing drugs AND guns. It's the same people, using sthe same methods. We also need to build more prisons and jails so violent offenders don't get the "commit another crime while on bail from the last one".

    Libs and Cons need to stop playing wedge politics and do their duty to grounded, evidence based legislation that doesn't flip flop and turn innocent gun owners into paper criminals or wastr money buying back legally acquired guns that were never used in crimes or by criminals.

  • No one will stick their neck out for the US. Trump must step down and return sanity to America. This doesn't fix relations, but it may signal the begining of a return to a healing position. Over a very long time, 50 years, the US may gradually recover some of that lost trust.

    Hard to earn. Easy to lose. Even harder to win back. America, you played yourself.

  • Trump: I'll trade you a shitshow of stupidity and backstabbing friends while rivals watch me smear shit on my face and I blow my enemies. In exchange I burn my country to the ground for no reason.

    China: Deal

    Americans: Deal

    Russians: Deal

    Rest of the world: WTF!!! Ah, fuckit. Deal.

  • I had a lot of fun talking to one about how we could fully electrify a hobby farm without batteries, by using a high voltage DC overhead wire on a cable pulley system. Everything from electrical engineering, to cable selection, sourcing vendors and costs.

    Mistakes were made, but it was genuinely helpful at times. I was impressed at how far it has come.

  • I respect what you are saying, and agree our LLM are just superficial pseudo communication engines. Theories of intelligence differ, but I don't think human intelligence, i.e. IQ of 100 is really all that far ahead of LLM. Just talk to your average person. We are easily wrong. We have bias and error. We repeat and amplify untruths and make mistakes.

    It could be fewer breakthoughs than you think to get there. Not because the tech is so advanced, but because we are not that special.

    Super-intelligence is just degrees better.

  • Like all technology, the development times get shorter and shorter. No one can predict the future and specific dates are meaningless, but it is plausible that, stumbles aside, AI achieves superintelligence in the very near future. My gut says sooner than later with 90% probability by 2040. <-remember I said dates are meaningless. ;)

    The world is not ready for it. It will be more destructive than constructive. May god have mercy on us all. I hope I am wrong.
