I love having a prime minister who completely buys into the tech industry’s framing of AI, such that he’s throwing billions of dollars at AI companies and pushing more Canadians into relying on their shitty products.

A sober take from @ShachiKurl of Angus Reid Institute of how Canadians are not on side with Mark Carney’s enthusiastic approach to AI or data centres.
They aren’t uninformed or illiterate; they simply experience the sides of AI the government prefers not to focus on.
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.

To him, the core issue is “engagement and adoption,” regardless of the drawbacks.
Feels like it's straight out of a history textbook from the future, illustrating how the political class of the 2020s got to be completely out of touch with reality in the years before the event.

@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 getting mighty tired of government reps crowing about "deals."

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

Ok I am now officially sick of Carney and his band off corporate cheerleaders
This isn't even policy, its just LLM generated pro-tech giant talking points. Just fuck off already!!

@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?
