Reminder that no one called for flags to be flown at half mast after the assassinations of Melissa and Mark Hortman, their dog & two other political targets by a right wing nutjob. Also that today's victim felt your loved ones were expendable to preserve his 2nd Amendment rights

2/12 The study by Model Evaluation & Threat Research was the most rigorous test to date of AI in real-world coding.

Experts predicted AI would speed work by 40%. Participants thought they were 20% faster.

Actual output showed they were 20% SLOWER.

"No one expected that outcome."

How did Canadian conservatives become such truly awful people? When did they turn against Canada and Canadians and adopt toxic MAGA/fascist ideology? Was it Stephen Harper or Preston Manning who turned the party into total anti-democracy shit ruled by a puerile, rage-farming Trump mimic?

There is no reason, especially now, to allow an American company to occupy Crown lands. Link in the thread for comments, which you should absolutely take the time to submit.

This should concern us all. The BCNDP has said nothing about this. It is a disgrace if NOLS gets their application approved.

Also, side note: the "I love the smell" line comes immediately after Colonel Kilgore orders an airstrike on a village full of civilian women and children so they're out of his way so he can surf.
