I'm counting on the indie community to come through with the triple-gen releases!

A clear example of this is that, if something happens on hover, there needs to be an alternate way to perform that action or access that information.

I did this, took like 30 min.
Points I kept hammering: domestic cloud, regulations around copyright and likeness rights, focusing on machine learning with concrete, real world uses (creating new drugs, etc), the damage done by slop, the need to listen to AI experts who are realists, not boosters.

Canadians: The federal government is seeking public input on how AI should be developed and used in business, research, and the military.
