It's silly that refusing to use AI is seen as such a stubborn, rebellious stance, but here we are. Fight fascists, save our planet, remind others to think for themselves, save your own brain... it's all there, in one simple act we can all do.

Just don't use AI. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

The TFW program is naked exploitation.

Laurie Prange @prangemartin.bsky.social · 13h

I’m very pro-immigration, and so I’m always going to say that if work needs to be done than the worker deserves the right to have a path to citizenship. Thus, I’m 100% against the TFW program. That it also suppresses wages adds to my being against it.

Anyway, fascism in the Globe and Mail because Carney is so right-wing that the space is wide open for the Conservatives to be fascist.

This rhetoric makes me incandescently mad because so few of us can claim that our ancestors came here "the right way" and yet we all got citizenship at birth!
