Curious if anyone out there has written a draft letter expressing resistance to AI in schools (grade and post-sec) for public use. If not, I might be up for the job in drafting a template letter that points to facts and examples, verified by actual experts in the field. Something needs to be done.
These videos need to be sent to the administration of every school espousing "AI is the future" to remind them of the kind of future they are helping to solidify where violence, racism, and misogyny are enacted under a veil of fantasy.

Good thread on pipeline & data centre nexus.
Eye on the ball folks! It seems the pipeline piece may well be a distraction. While a pipeline remains very unlikely, the practical impact of this deal are all the immediate concessions to oil & gas industry & the federal abandonment of core climate policies.

The agreement includes, “Construction of thousands of megawatts of AI computing power,” to be powered by nuclear and which also explains the extension of gas-powered electricity for Alberta.
This agreement is just terrible at so many levels.
