Surprise surprise, the guy that's like "oh free speech, you just can't say things anymore without people telling you to shut up" wants to tell Americans they're not allowed to talk about things in their own country that he doesn't want them to talk about.

I... have my doubts, and every AI image detector I threw at it kept insisting it was likely.

But yeah, the criticisms aren't worth anything if nobody can learn from it;
Like, leaving indigenous and BC out of the conversation about the MOU isn't good but realpolitik says "If we don't want Alberta to freak out we need to throw them a cookie", even if the cookie gives them literally nothing.

I think it's perfectly fine for us to criticize and try to push for better, but when it turns into "I know better, no I won't tell you, you're a terrible person for not already already knowing what I'm thinking", it's not even a conversation, it's just someone doing self-affirmations

Criticizing purity tests to have someone immediately start telling me what my politics are and why I'm not as good as them feels like it has to be breaking some rule for how on-the-nose it is.

Cheers. I can't deal with people that start telling me what my views actually are and what I actually think, it's a real peeve of mine. I figure three's a crowd when they start making up the imaginary 3D to get mad at.
Y'know, they never DID get around to saying why the MOU is bad, go figure.

So feel free to take whatever BS you've projected as my views and opinions and swan off to the blocklist.

...I already stated the how and why I think your take is wrong. You've dedicated multiple replies to how I'm a terrible person for disagreeing with you without ever articulating any substantive point I'm wrong about.
And when it's pointed out, it's all "NO U"

Cheers for being an example of the exact behavior I'm criticizing. So damned busy working out how I've got to be "the enemy" you can't even have a conversation.

I was annoyed with the MOU as it also left BC out of the conversation... right up until I realized this was a glorified "See, I'm not holding back Alberta, F-off".
So if I'm wrong about some aspect of the MOU (Aside from leaving the other parties out of the pagentry), I'd like to know what I missed

You dedicated two whole comments to tell me how I'm a terrible person with whatever views you want to project on me, and not one line articulating how the MOU isn't just a giant pat on the head with "Ok Alberta, now go talk to BC and indigenous groups"

"Imagine demonizing higher standards of basic human decency. "
No, I'm demonizing people that say "NO IT BAD" and then swanning off rather than actually communicate something of substance.
Cheers for immediately treating me like I'm justifying colonialism though.

I get people are frustrated because at this point: Carney is just a slightly more socially liberal conservative and that's a let-down... but at the same time people are so busy running purity tests they'd rather eat their own than figure out how to make this work. :/

Pointing out the MOU was essentially Ottawa going "Okay, we support this SO LONG AS BC AND INDIGENOUS PARTIES DO" and their response is... "Actually it's still bad, bye bye"
Increasingly convinced she's not here to speak in good faith, this is just pot-stirring until she runs out of retorts.

Exactly. OpenAI has like $1T in contract spend spending right now on a company that grossed like $15B... and there's no reason to believe that any of this will actually deliver. They could spend $2T and still be struggling to find a profitable model that doesn't have to be forced on people.

That's the really fucked up part: OpenAI is really obviously a company whose entire future is a big fat "How soon and how bad does it fall?" but in the mean time they're doing their level best to absolutely fuck anyone with a more stable business.

Isn't it a great that a company that has literally zero clear path to being profitable still somehow has so much money he can intentionally hobble his competitors in blatant anticompetitive behavior?
