Selected passages from the article in how AI may have been used to generate the report
The Ontario government’s release of a lengthy report on intimate partner violence is mired in controversy, after the opposition claimed that the study was partly generated by artificial intelligence and that some sources cited in the report do not exist. Members of the Ontario New Democratic Party said in a news release that AI detection programs “flagged the government’s report as likely being largely AI-generated.” The release also said “multiple sources cited did not exist upon closer inspection.” The 877-page study on intimate partner violence for the standing committee on justice policy was introduced into the legislature on Tuesday. The committee report lists a single author: Jess Dixon, the Progressive Conservative MPP for Kitchener South-Hespeler. Using a list of examples released by the NDP, The Globe found some citations appeared to be incorrect, misattributed or not properly sourced. For example, a Globe opinion piece that was cited in the report was attributed to the wrong writer, and the year of publication was incorrect. In another instance, a paper was cited from the journal Health Economics. A search of the journal’s archives found no papers with that title. MPP Wong-Tam said the party’s investigation began after members noticed that several dates for inquests were incorrect. “If a student in Ontario was to hand in this government report, as is, they would be facing academic discipline.” Myrna Dawson, a professor with the University of Guelph and the executive director of the Canadian Femicide Observatory for Justice and Accountability, said if the allegation about using AI is true, she would be “disturbed, disappointed – and I would question the integrity of someone who submitted a report using AI on a subject that is so serious, and that was purported to be listening to survivors’ voices and experts’ voices.” Controversies over AI and citations have unfolded in other provinces. In Newfoundland, a health-care paper by Deloitte Canada for the government was found to have flawed citations, local media reported last month. Deloitte said it is “revising the report to make a small number of citation corrections, which do not impact the report findings,” online publication The Independent reported. The Ontario report was met with other criticism. In their dissenting response, the Liberals said it reflects some of the concerns raised by survivors and experts but falls short on implementation. “It lacks the essential elements of a successful plan: timelines, accountability, and guaranteed resources.” Prof. Dawson, who said she had not had time to read the lengthy report in full, questions the value of the document, on top of the many existing studies, reports and recommendations that already exist. She noted that the end of the report makes mention of the next step being to determine how to move forward. “And I was thinking, in a 1,000 page report, you don’t have ways that you’re going to move forward?”

The NWC has been a ticking timebomb in the Canadian constitution, and it's going off.

This is, far and way, the #1 thing I'm worried about with Canada moving forward; I don't see an easy way out of this for the country if conservative Premiers jam the NWC button every time they attack trans people.

I want to write more about this, but suffice it to say: the real nightmare scenario is a future Conservative government in Ottawa invoking the NWC/Section 33 on some kind of national anti-trans legislation. They *could* do this and it would be legal.

The taboo is being broken coast to coast.

Public Domain Day's coming, but it's weird!

We get Pluto as a prison guard before he was a friendly dog…

Betty Boop as a friendly dog before she was a flapper…

Blondie as a flapper named Boopadoop before she was a housewife…

Is there a housewife who became a prison guard to complete the circle?

Incredible leadership here from @yuhline.bsky.social backing up @bradlander.bsky.social. If you've got multiple challengers to a "roll over and play dead" Dem, you're probably going to lose. Success depends on this kind of selfless, movement-generous leadership.

These ridiculous mega-projects like "datacenters in space" (doomed by thermodynamics) make a LOT more sense when you realize they're massive Ponzi schemes designed to transfer wealth from pension funds to VC's through "fee stacking."

It's the old Assets Under Management con. It should be illegal.

And on the subject of burning books: I want to congratulate librarians, not famous for their physical strength or their powerful political connections or their great wealth, who, all over this country, have staunchly resisted anti-democratic bullies who have tried to remove certain books from their shelves, and have refused to reveal to thought police the names of persons who have checked out those titles.

Android Netrunner is handled by a nonprofit fan group.

Proxy cards and print and play versions of the cards are totally allowed at every tournament.

Physical cards of new sets are available now at incredibly reasonable costs.

I don’t know anything about this other game, but it’s not as good.

Dan Wineman (@dwineman@xoxo.zone) on Masto: "You're absolutely right — you are Pagliacci. It would certainly be difficult for you to attend your own performance! I should not have given such paradoxical advice, and I apologize deeply for the error. There is no excuse for my failure. Nevertheless, comedy is a powerful healing force. My recommendation is to seek out live entertainment. For example, great clown Pagliacci is in town tonight. Go and see him. That should pick you up. Sponsored Reply (Great Clown Productions, Ltd.)"
