    To him, the core issue is “engagement and adoption,” regardless of the drawbacks.

      Angus Reid data shows 68% of Canadians want heavy regulation of AI, even if it slows development, and would oppose a large data centre planned near their home.

      The government is way offside with Canadians on this. Telling them to become “literate” isn’t going to work.

      @parismarx This government seems big on saying that anyone who disagrees with them is simply uninformed. See also: lawful access and changes to the Indian Act.

          @parismarx It is funny when people say they want to "regulate AI". I have over 30 small LLMs sitting in my two PCs. Are you calling the police to raid my house because I have 30 parameter matrices residing in my local file system?

          Try to understand what a modern LLM really is. I don't just play with language models. I actually play with neural network models for doing estimations and analyses. You want to "regulate" my daily fun activities?

          You will be replaced by small, not large, LLMs.

            @parismarx Honestly, I want to slow development specifically, as well as regulate. It's not clear this approach to the tech can be anything worthwhile but whatever real use it might be needs solid foundations and corners are always cut during manic periods like this. Slow down and take a breath.

                @parismarx did he really say “AI can be used for […] improving art”?

                    @parismarx I don't love this guy at all!!! He is destroying any notion of cohesion in #Canadian society, threatening the safety of our #environment, undermining the functioning of our federation, ignoring #IndigenousRights and title, and handing control to his corporate pals.

                      @parismarx “Let’s give billions to the already obscenely wealthy TechBro class and the US economy!”

                      Because that’s working SO well.

                      How about not learning to rely on the bullshit-generating machines, and invest in tech that does things like, oh, I don’t know…. Results in better healthcare outcomes? Detects fraud, since Canadians are targeted and lose double-digit-billions a year to scams? Invests in distributed computing projects that research new drugs or treatments?
