Mindblowing: Making water interact with pigment and something called a brush on century-old technology called paper creates beautiful ghostly images.

canada continuing to drop the ball on taking tech policy seriously
blairaf.com blair @blairaf.com · 1d
Canada did a consultation on a new national AI strategy, formed an expert task force to write 32 reports, then used AI to analyze the responses & reports. The result is a summary that strings together 100s of vague action items & flattens nuance and policy trade-offs into false consensus
Screenshot from Government of Canada website that reads: "Over 11,300 participants provided their thoughts and ideas during the 30-day online public consultation, which ran from October 1 to 31, 2025. We captured over 64,600 responses to 26 questions on the eight AI pillars identified for the purpose of the consultation. The responses were analyzed using SimpleSurvey, which uses natural language processing algorithms to provide insights from open-ended questions by analyzing sentiments, keywords and topics. ISED also created an internal classification pipeline for analysis, incorporating Cohere Command A, OpenAI GPT-5 nano, Anthropic Claude Haiku and Google Gemini Flash to read through the submissions and identify common themes. Responses were also classified by question, pillar and sentiment. Human reviewers validated and refined the AI-generated analyses, ensuring accuracy and comprehensive representation of all perspectives. The same approach was used to analyze the Task Force reports. This innovative approach enabled thorough, unbiased reporting in record time—months faster than traditional methods—demonstrating a balance between efficient delivery and responsible, Canadian-centred AI adoption."

Not to be dramatic but I'm struggling more and more with the idea that life has any sort of meaning. I question human nature constantly and inch more to the idea that things will never generally improve. Six years ago we had a chance to veer towards better behaviours but now, it's plain psychosis.

trying to preserve what energy and focus I have, maybe you are, too: moving quickly and lightly past bad takes that I already knew to expect, old arguments that won’t get settled in a crisis, just general bad vibes in search of a landing zone in someone else’s empathy

More and more articles about how we are being knocked over the head to force us to adopt AI. They're desperate.

Bandcamp has formally introduced a new policy banning music and audio generated wholly or largely by AI from purchase on its platform. Bandcamp said: “With this policy, we’re putting human creativity first."

Canada’s minister of artificial intelligence and digital innovation, Evan Solomon, says regulation should be “light.” But as AI rapidly transforms jobs, privacy, and power, critics are wondering: Who is this optimism really for? https://thewalrus.ca/evan-solomon-ai/

Review of Goodbye Horses: The Many Lives of Q Lazzarus, an intriguing and tragic documentary about how the musical figure behind that Silence of the Lambs song dropped off the map, and how her story came to an end.

Folks, the "Minister of AI" has the moral backbone of a sleazy backroom art dealer.
A tweet from Evan Solomon reads: "Contrary to media reports, Canada is not considering a ban of X."

What I've been reading. I wish I could learn about William Blake more in-depth. I think we need imagination and symbolism.

🧵Solidarity with Francesca Albanese.

She is facing a barrage of lies and smears + the Trump Admin is calling on the UN to fire her.

Why? Because there is simply no arguing with her devastating new report on the companies profiting from genocide.

Stay tuned for our interview on @zeteo.com.

@mark-carney.bsky.social I want to believe that backing from taxing tech companies is a very calculated measure and not giving in to the big baby down south. He surely will come up with another excuse to avoid trade talks. I don't want to be disappointed in your government.
