Canadian-American. Coming out of the north with a cold blast of reality
An individual in Canada used ChatGPT for eight months to plan one of the country’s worst mass shootings. Yet, if you listen to politicians and media, the real threat of AI is a fantastical scenario where it might wipe out humans in ten years. They need to stop getting fooled by tech deceivers.
The media has the AI threat all wrong
Generative AI is harming people today. We don’t need to waste time fantasizing about science fictional scenarios.

People often think Trump spurs the MAGA volk with his social posts. It's the opposite. The one thing Trump has been good at in his political career is signaling -- a critical skill for any politician.

The data is starting to tell a very clear story: maristpoll.marist.edu/polls/2026-m...
Payoff politics is so, so common. Almost banal. Ofc the US Supreme Court has a different view. In the world of Sam Alito et al, it's not bribery unless she picked up and walked out with a bag that read -- "Bribes for Senator Susan Collins" and ONLY In 80 point Gold New Times Roman font
Josh Marshall@joshtpm.bsky.social · 5d agoHe was an shaky and widely distrusted politician in 2001 who cynically exploited the nation's pain and trauma so he could be come a war president and ensure his reelection. That's all one needs to know about him.
Thor Benson@thorbenson.bsky.social · 6d agoI knew George W. Bush was a bad guy when I was 12. I am not surprised to see him behave poorly

"In Trump’s first term, he reneged on JCPOA & reimposed sanctions, vowing that a policy of “maximum pressure” would force Iran into a “better deal.” trump got this enormous gamble completely wrong & US as well as others pay the price. Haven't seen any front page stories exploring this central point

Again: "Tilly Norwood" is not a person; it is a shoddy, and also pretty gross puppet. Stop referring to it as "she," and start asking whether there might be something a bit off about wanting to promote a sexualized but also childlike "actor" that can never tell its creators or users "no."
