Because we are transitioning away from the US and that takes time.

E.G. Canada’s government removed industrial tariffs temporarily but kept commercial good tariffs. This is so that Canadian industries can get the necessary tooling and other things from the US now and remove the US from Canadian logistics.

So that Canada can move to completely remove the US from the industry side.

I dont think so, since with the algorithms a vaguely saavy user can work around them, and it has to wait for the crawlers to run, tag sites and process the tags.

AI streamlines that process.

My 2c:

Control:
By adding rules to AI output, the ruling elite seek to regain what the internet took from them: Information control. Some scandal happens? AI monitoring erases all indication of it, or pushes the narrative in the desired direction.

We have easy evidence of that on the Canada subreddit. Trudeau, for his faults, was unequivocally the single friendliest prime minister to Alberta that the country ever had, considerably more so than the hack that was Harper. But thanks to astroturfing and media control, the conservatives of Alberta see him as one of the worst.

Monetization of big data. The other that I can see is that AI can solve end of the big data issue. Sure, big data has reams and reams of data. But they’ve had trouble processing it and turning it into useful monetizable information/product. Even Google admits that for all of their data on everyone, their clickthrough rates are atrocious. The hope is that AI can sort through those massive data sets and give them the easy data they want.

Ah yes the “its better to beg forgiveness than to ask permission” argument.

Hollywood, from the very start. Its why it is across the US from New York, to get outside of the legal reach of Broadway show companies they stole from.

Stack overflow

Reddit.

Google.

Its only not feasible because it would kill AIs.

Large models have to steal everything from everyone to be baseline viable

They have to pay for every copyrighted material used in the entire models whenever the AI is queried.

They are only allowed to use data that people opt into providing.

Let’s not forget that Starmer capitulated on the trade war.

He gets: • to still pay with an uneven playing field that benefits the US(import taxes) • to only bring in a limited amount of UK cars to the US market, instead of the previous unlimited amount. • to hurt the UK beef industry by accepting in the US’ frankly atrocious beef, which will be dumped in below cost to UK farmers due to the lack of quality controls on US beef.

Yeah great preliminary deal.

Metal is born from rock, which itself is born from blues and american folk.
Blues itself is born from African-American folk music.

Sorry, I was under the assumption that the plan was what Bibi planned all along. He planted the idea in the orange moron that it was his plan to give himself plausible deniability.

I hope the indie and AA game communities/devs keep moving off of Fandom.

You missed the last part of that exchange.

Carney says “Never”.

The VPD released the name and current charges. Asian male, currently 8 murder charges, victims from 5 to 65.

Frankly the VPD and City Hall have to answer as to why they didnt use the standard dump truck road blocks that they use for functionally every other city event.

Yeah except China needs Canadian resources just like the US does, and they have a one in 2 centuries chance to deprive the US of resources.

Trick is that Vancouver is a massive port complex and can pick up the slack for the US pacific ports.

And knowing how Richmond, BC operates, expect to see a lot of sudden Chinese business activity where things are being “finished” in Canada then shipped to the US.

I have turned metrics off on my phone keyboard and I swear it fucks up my choices.

Every week I pass by a starbucks at a major transit hubin Canada.

Used to be a big blocker with the crowd of40-50 people at all times waiting to either order or pickup.

Since feb it is below 8 people. The local coffee shop across the street, and even the Canadian fast food place that serves good breakfast though, they got a lot of new business.

Its why Carney is so popular in Canada.

He hasnt attacked Poilievre. When asked he comes out with well reasoned and thought out plans.

E.G. instead of just “cutting red tape” to aid housing construction, which results in shit quality and developers timing completion to optimize prices; his plan is to directly get the government to build homes like it did in the 1950s and 1960s. This would also help get people into and trained in the trades, another of his promises.

Also, government employing directly will always be more efficient than contracting out. Because the contracting firms charge 5-10x per employee what the employee makes. For a western salary.

E.g. Digital Extremes put out an April Fools that the (deservedly beloved) Creative Director of Warframe had been replaced by an EA suit, people were legitimately upset.
