The coming years are going to reveal a lot more waste on 'AI' like this by our governments, to the tune of 10s of billions squandered on appalling nonsense, all to make rich Tech Bros richer.

The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) paid $18 million for a chatbot named Charlie, which the auditor general reported gave her team the wrong answer 66% of the time.

The chatbot's responses were found to be brief and lacking context, with only 2 out of 6 questions answered accurately.
The CRA spent $18M on 'Charlie,' a new tax information chatbot that is wrong most of the time

Under my regime, the tech industry must have all new technologies approved by a citizen jury who assess 1) what problem the tech is attempting to address and 2) whether it actually addresses it

Walked the dog through windy woods, she disappeared (we were close to the house but she usually is within eyesight). Anyway she comes trotting around the corner w her mouth full of bloody fur skin and I automatically SCREAMED so much I scared her.

I would be so useless in a horror film scenario.

The woman who can say “that’s not accurate” without apologizing is the same woman who can eventually face her own mortality without flinching. She’s practiced not needing everyone’s approval. She’s learned that her worth isn’t contingent on being pleasant.

Name what’s happening. “I’m not becoming difficult—I’m becoming authentic. My brain is reorganizing around honesty instead of performance.” Language matters. The story you tell yourself about this change shapes your experience of it.

Another one bites the dust.
I heard Pierre Poilievre on TV yesterday ranting about the carbon tax.
It was the same smarmy voice repeating the same dumbed down slogans.
Meanwhile Canada is facing the threat of the Trump doctrine.
No wonder this idiot is losing ground

Don't let Act 2 intimidate you. Break it up into pieces. Make these choices in your screenwriting:

- What's the dramatic question out of Act 1?
- What's the midpoint? 
- Who does the character become in Act 3? 

Know where you're going and ask, "What needs to happen to get there?"

Welp, looks like we're teaching the LinkedIn grindset people what The Onion is the hard way.
This is the sort of advertising I love. - It's not very well targeted, because it doesn't need to be. - It's not got a link to buy, or "find out more" or use promo code 10 , in order to merely be able to prove it's success - It's not pretentious or ambitious or demanding or "smart" , it's just based in the reality of the world. - It's calm, confident, noticeable, bold. - It's what it needs to be. I do wonder why we make everything so complicated. Simple isn't easy, but it's essential. Onion ad for the National Pear Council: Just curious, when was the last time you had a pear? That long? How come?

I just bought a rappie pie for dinner (autocorrect has suggested it is a rapper pie or a happier pie).

We will see if the husband is into it.

People keep wondering why they're going after Venezuela. It's because they want to do regime change and control its oil, then use a big tract of land there to keep a tax free "network state" that looks like Dubai but operates like Rhodesia. They are saying this out loud! Believe them!

I don't normally rt this stuff but it just sounds like an SNL sketch, and like, people have to take him seriously? No wonder the Canadian Ambassador to the US just quit. Looney tunes.

Every part of this is bonkers. The intro is bonkers. The transition to his health is bonkers. The mention that other presidents didn't need cognitive exams is bonkers. The claim that this screening test is somehow hard is bonkers. The idea that criticism of him is treason is bonkers. All of it.
There has never been a President that has worked as hard as me! My hours are the longest, and my results are among the best. I’ve stopped Eight Wars, saving many millions of lives in the process, created the Greatest Economy in the History of our Country, brought Business back into the United States at levels never seen before, rebuilt our Military, created the Largest Tax Cuts and Regulation Cuts, EVER, closed our open and very dangerous Southern Border, when previous Administrations were unable to do so, and created an “aura” around the United States of America that has led every Country in the World to respect us more than ever before. In addition to all of that, I go out of my way to do long, thorough, and very boring Medical Examinations at the Great Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, seen and supervised by top doctors, all of whom have given me PERFECT Marks — Some have even said they have never seen such Strong Results. I do these Tests because I owe it to our Country. In addition to the Medical, I have done something that no other President has done, on three separate occasions, the last one being recently, by taking what is known as a Cognitive Examination, something which few people would be able to do very well, including those working at The New York Times, and I ACED all three of them in front of large numbers of doctors and experts, most of whom I do not know. I have been told that few people have been able to “ace” this Examination and, in fact, most do very poorly, which is why many other Presidents have decided not to take it at all. Despite all of this, the time and work involved, The New York Times, and some others, like to pretend that I am “slowing up,” am maybe not as sharp as I once was, or am in poor physical health, knowing that it is not true, and knowing that I work very hard, probably harder than I have ever worked before. I will know when I am “slowing up,” but it’s not now! After all of the work I have done with Medical Exams, Cognitive Exams, and everything else, I actually believe it’s seditious, perhaps even treasonous, for The New York Times, and others, to consistently do FAKE reports in order to libel and demean “THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.” They are true Enemies of the People, and we should do something about it. They have inaccurately reported on all of my Election Results and, in fact, were forced to apologize on much of what they wrote. The best thing that could happen to this Country would be if The New York Times would cease publication because they are a horrible, biased, and untruthful “source” of information. Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

This newsletter article is FASCINATING. Americans getting a wake up call in real time. I think a vast amount of leadership thinks when Trump goes, things can return to "normal" when atm global perception of the US is changing irrevocably.
