If it wasn’t already clear the direction AI policy was going under Mark Carney and Evan Solomon, this task force makes it clear.

The inclusion of the chair of Build Canada, whose members openly pushed for a Canadian DOGE and Poilievre government earlier this year, is just one of many examples.

If there was truly any conviction for the public interest, members of the AI Strategy Task Force would resign in protest for the configuration of their group.

Still too soon to say how it plays out, but at this moment there's a case to be made that Big Tech and GOP leaders overplayed their hand on the AI moratorium. The boldness of the 10-year ban mobilized a big and angry coalition against it, where a more modest proposal might just have slipped through.

In a stunning reversal, the Senate voted 99-1 this morning to strip from Trump's big bill a 10-year moratorium on state-level AI regulations.

A GOP-led bid to stop states from regulating AI collapsed after a deal to save it fell through.

How cool is this. Voyager 1 is coasting in interstellar space, more than 48 years & 25 billion miles from Earth. Its back-up manoeuvring thrusters failed more than 2 decades ago. But @NASAJPL have GOT THEM WORKING AGAIN!!!! www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/nasas-v...
NASA’s Voyager 1 Revives Backup Thrusters Before Command Pause
The mission team wanted to fix the thrusters, deemed unusable decades ago, before the radio antenna that sends commands to the probe went offline for upgrades.

#HandsOff protests are happening in every single US state, BUT probably won’t get much mainstream media coverage.

And footage will get surpressed on other platforms.

So share what you can here 👍
