Proposal: instead of giving ChatGPT tens of billions of dollars to fail to create artificial intelligence, give me, an Actual Intelligence, a mere $10 million and I will gladly do a spreadsheet wrong for you from time to time for a modest fee.

TO BE CLEAR AI IS EVIL AND THIS IS NOT AN ENDORSEMENT but I really feel a way about the idiots behind the plate.

In Canada:

80% of educators have witnessed misogyny in classrooms, including disrespect toward women and unhealthy stereotypes.

67% have seen incel-influenced beliefs linked to real-world gender-based violence.

Never mind 'Male Loneliness Epidemic'. THIS is what needs attention.

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

Now it's a day later and the APTN and CBC Indigenous news sites still have no story about, or even mention in another story of Israel abducting, in international waters, a First Nations person who has Canadian citizenship.
Mskwaasin Agnew (Dene/Cree, Salt River First Nation) was among the humanitarians on board Conscience that was illegally boarded by Israel in international waters.
We are asking everyone to contact the Canadian Government (email addresses & phone numbers on the poster)
