there's a lot to hate about the AI craze, but there are some extremely funny aspects - like revealing that tech execs don't know how coding works even in a very basic sense, and thought their employees were all wizards who knew a special language

The people still claiming Trump stole the last election from Harris sound just like the MAGA folks who claim Trump won over Biden.

but it's telling that many people have lost trust in their electoral system.

this is a fantastic article. libs and cons (same) cling to fptp to win false majorities. i voted liberal in 2015 for the promise of electoral reform. the second time i voted lib was for carney... to avoid pp's agenda. only for carney to implement it. burned both times. never again.
