Mark Carney’s AI strategy suggests Canadians’ concerns about AI will evaporate if they become more “literate” about the technology.
In trying to boost industry, Carney ignores many of the biggest concerns about generative AI and data centres. If anyone needs to become more AI literate, it’s him.
I Excel'd the power cons of Google's deal with Elon Musk's fossil-fuelled data centre. Took me ~10 seconds
Claude returned a similar answer, but consumed as much energy as **fully discharging** two smartphones, to do it
This is why the shift to reliance on LLMs bloats energy consumption so badly
Damn that was printed up and posted quick...
The public is right to be concerned about AI. But Carney and his ministers have framed our reluctance as ignorance.
Words mean things, y’all. We also live in a time where it is super easy to find the definition of words you do not know. No alleged journalist has to let words beat their ass on social media.
I’m going to start throwing dictionaries with the energy of Mandy Moore throwing bibles in Saved.

His obscene wealth, allowed by the failures of governments who love money donated by the rich more than the people they ostensibly serve, has given him the power to inflict his bitterness on the most vulnerable.
He's a sour person who knows the only thing anyone likes about him is his wealth. 2/3
Ps-- governments should tax any income above $500 million at 100% and use it to provide free health care, education & childcare as well as universal basic income. (I can be convinced we should drop that threshold lower.)
