I find this article is overly critical. Of course I think we should be supporting Canadian owned businesses first, but international efforts that decide to build in Canada should be next, and far ahead of any US initiative. I think this is a good thing. #canadasky betakit.com/nokias-ottaw...

This is how disinformation happens, it's sad how many people just believe whatever posts they see online, and there are tons of attackers taking advantage of it.

This is pretty scary stuff, and bleak for the future.
I am by no means a prominent public intellectual, but my inbox is increasingly filled with messages from people who have been convinced by sycophantic chatbots that they have discovered revolutionary theories that entirely upend our scientific understanding of the universe.
