Yes, so the Carney "new" Canadian govt budget says 40,000+ jobs will cut from public service + replaced by AI. Does that mean we get an "AI helper" from now on when we phone cra or Health Canada instead of a human? God help us if so.
Excited to see AI's results in the Canadian government!
UK government project using AI to find benefit fraud resulted in:
- A 46% false fraud rate
- Anguish for families who were wrongly accused of fraud and had benefits stopped
- Months of additional work for government, setting up a hotline, correcting false fraud

Sigh.
Some people would rather get health info from a grifter on TikTok than from trained, licensed health professionals. The same people who would never consider entrusting other decisions to an online rando. Make sense of this for me.

UPDATE: Canada has announced that it has lost its measles elimination status.
This is a direct result of the increase in anti-vax disinformation, which has caused large, sustained outbreaks in the country over the last year.

Happy to hear this from Carney. Huge social media giants spewing hate + division threaten truth and ultimately our democracy based on truth. Decisive, effective action desperately needed.
YES! Please do PM @mark-carney.bsky.social @liberalca.bsky.social Canada needs to move quickly and decisively! This is NOT about free speech, this is about protecting people from racist, horrible bullshit. This needs to happen asap! IMO #cdnpoli

it is darkly humorous that after all these years, the Republican health insurance plan ends up being to end health insurance
Trump: "I am recommending to Senate Republicans that the Hundreds of Billions of Dollars currently being sent to money sucking Insurance Companies in order to save the bad Healthcare provided by ObamaCare, BE SENT DIRECTLY TO THE PEOPLE SO THAT THEY CAN PURCHASE THEIR OWN, MUCH BETTER, HEALTHCARE."

It is stunning how few masks are worn by air travellers.
Sometimes when people ask me why I’m wearing a mask I say I’m traveling or have some important thing soon and can’t afford to get sick and miss it and that’s pretty much always true but I think it would be nice if it were more normalized to just say “I don’t want to get sick” and leave it at that
