So, can I be honest? I have about 25 days till a three week block of leave. And it's all I can do to convince myself to a) give a shit b) go to the office. I have found the last 18 months as an employee of a CEGEP to be utterly demoralizing. In the private sector I often figured I would have a..

There is a Wendy's on Ste Catherine street. When did Wendy's come back into Canada? Or was it only Quebec they disappeared from?

Meantime our forests will burn and we have no national strategy to deal with that. We're a joke. I'm numb.
Pro-oil spokesperson on CBC says we need more oil pipelines because of the extra energy demands from AI. So Canada is going all-in on destroying the planet. It's a choice. Canada has chosen extinction. The Carney government is officially dead to me.

The people who can't secure our passwords, who have managed to make the Word for Mac "whoopsie your drive is full" (even though it's not) bug persist for decades, who are pushing "ai" into excel & then telling you it's only 45% accurate, would now like to run reactors. WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG?

You know AI is useful and not at all harmful because every large (and some small) tech company is forcing it on us at every opportunity, and all of the platforms on which it is foisted on us allows users to opt out easily and permanently.

Oh, wait.

“I have little desire to talk about AI”

Go with that feeling. Embrace it. Apply it to your life outside of Bluesky.
Well I didn’t intend on poking it and I have little desire to talk about AI here again.

adorei a definição: a IA é um acelerador do efeito Dunning-Kruger (aquele efeito que faz as pessoas superestimaram a própria capacidade)
Generative AI is a Dunning-Kruger accelerator, it enables people who know next to nothing about a subject believe they are more capable than experts.

We are going to see some remarkable failures stemming from this phenomenon.

I swear to god: the caq and the pq are just trying to out do each other to see who can be the most awful. Meanwhile QS are behaving like student government and the LPQ are LPQing

I will believe in the end of identity politics when steel and lumber (28,000 jobs and 105,000 jobs respectively) stop getting bailouts, while higher education (310,000 jobs) collapses in front of our eyes because it's full of ivory tower elites

So, let's say that the billionaires left if you taxed them. We're already hardly getting anything from them, so would we actually notice? Like it's less a threat than a promise of a good time.

"We did buy a pipeline because we felt there was a need to still get Alberta's oil to market," McKenna says. "And what did we get? They did not live up to their end of the bargain under any stretch of the imagination."

Just saw someone claim that authors who want to be paid for their work are "class traitors" because we "only let the wealthy" read our books, and I think I need to go into the woods to scream into the night for a bit.

It's $5, not your first-born child! I need that $5 for health insurance!

The last few days there has been another outburst of "yes, but the data center problems you have identified have existed for years because of X or Y (usually agriculture/heavy industries)". And this is true. BUT the point is that the data centers are making these issues worse, faster....

Went out for coffee. Came back & one of the big cafeteria rooms is being used for grad pictures. Sitting for a picture was a beaming, proud looking, young Muslim woman, with a stethoscope around her neck. One of our amazing nursing students, ready to help in hospitals shame the CAQ & PQ hate her.
