I would have preferred the opposite. His initial response was to support the US air strikes. I would have wanted a measured response supporting international norms and that he would commit to investigating the developments before taking an official position.

That may be so but he set a high bar at Davos and it’s on him to meet it. I’m rooting for him.

Carney is giving real “guy in the hot dog suit” vibes in these speeches lately.

When it was important your first reaction was to not make waves. Do a better job of walking the walk, Mister.

This is going to cement their status as the most dominant software company for a decade, or a crash so catastrophic entire economics semesters will be dedicated to its lessons.

Can’t wait to hear how moving the clocks is also immigrants’ fault.

Good to see the message is getting to hockey fans, too.

I don’t buy band media anymore but I do go out to live shows and buy t-shirts and other merch like nobody’s business.

Record company middlemen and forever streaming can take a hike.

I expect there are strategic reasons why the travel advisory isn’t being updated ahead of the CUSMA review. Once it’s over I have a strong feeling that will change.

Why do people need the government to tell them not to visit the US? People can read the news and see the travesties happening south of the border.

Based on polling it’s the people who specifically dislike the government and their messaging that need to stop traveling. An official advisory isn’t going to change many of those minds.

The one benefit I see of an official advisory is if your work tries to force you to travel. That becomes a lot harder when the official policy is it’s dangerous.

The risk of intelligence coming from LLMs is zero, let alone superintelligence.

The danger isn’t some computer mind deciding to destroy us upon its birth. It’s the everyday harm CEOs are doing to the working class and future students by using AI as an excuse to cut jobs and force paid products into education and the hands of young workers at the expense of their own skill development.

Nobody up here is taking these threats seriously anymore. Manufacturing in the US would immediately crater. So many Americans would lose jobs, and thanks to their bullying isolationism nobody is lining up to replace Canada as a viable trading partner.

Having no free trade with the US would suck but it’s temporary. Being a vassal state or getting annexed is permanent.

Maintain current elbow position.

That’s the shitty part. The news always says they have to hire them all back eventually but it’s not guaranteed to be the same group.

For many, AI is just the latest excuse to downsize and juice the quarterly revenue numbers for shareholders.

Takes me back to the Square Gamer forum I used to volunteer on. If any of you are still out there, that was a really fun and silly time of teenage life I enjoyed with you.

Not feeling very confident, Microslop. The AI dudes usually promise their industry takeovers every six months, not 18.

Based in CEO claims AI should have replaced me 4-5 times over by now. It’s still shitty. I’m still here.

In hockey you keep your elbows up to guard against getting knocked around when the game gets rough.

It’s always in the next 6 months, 12 months, and then time passes and the claim keeps getting remade.

They just want investment hype.

We’re going to need a new term to describe the quantum superposition our elbows are in.

Maybe elbows m’eh or elbows f’eh.

It’s a good gesture but they need 2/3 of the Senate to overturn the EO. Not holding my breath.

Only solace is that a lot of red state Senators will be putting party over constituents and hopefully ruining their reelection chances.

We’ve been reading emails about what he does to people he says he loves.

I don’t think that what he’s famous for.

Meanwhile, Elon Musk’s company avoided almost all federal income tax on over $12 billion of U.S. income over the past three years

This is following the rules because the rules are written by the rich to benefit the rich. Countries need wealth taxes and more equitable policies on unrealized gains.

All of them!

Because the rich can’t technically be taxpayers if they don’t pay in the first place.
