Hilarious to me that while the average "AI" chatbot produces incorrect answers 45% of the time, the one run by Google - who built probably the single greatest knowledge-sourcing machine ever created - produces errors 76% of the time due to "poor sourcing" lmao www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/...
Largest study of its kind shows AI assistants misrepresent news content 45% of the time – regardless of language or territory

We don't have winter elections for a reason, Doug. Ontario: Don't let the snow keep you from voting out Doug Ford. Keep an eye on the weather and have a plan. Chip Ford down to a minority. #UniteTheVote and sign the pledge. act.notoneseat.ca/UnityPledge #ONpoli #NotOneSeat #onelxnDoug
Thank you. Yes. All of this. There's a tendency in certain circles to say "oh Elon was always a Nazi you just didn't notice," and, no. I used to spend a lot of time watching how people go from alienated to MAGA to outright Nazi. I've written about it. And that is the trajectory of Elon.
Chad Loder@chadloder.dev · 2y agoElon Musk is a good example of how terrible people become increasingly radicalized into the far right simply because the far right is a community that accepts cruel, terrible people. It's tempting to say Elon is going "mask off", but I'd wager Elon didn't know who Tommy Robinson was 5 years ago. 1/
New CCPA report: Company Men: CEO Pay in Canada, 2023. On average, the top 100 CEOs were paid 210X more than the average worker’s wage in 2023, and this wealth gap is only growing: In 1998, they'd made 104 times more. The report busts key myths about CEOs’ pay and their worth. 2/2
Nobody likes strategic voting. But on the other hand, no one likes Doug Ford either. Sign the pledge http://act.notoneseat.ca/UnityPledge #UniteTheVote #VoteFordOut #ONPoli #TOPoli #NotOneSeat
Tell Doug. We want him to know it was us. We are back to #UniteTheVote and #VoteFordOut. But we can’t do this alone. Sign the Unity Pledge at act.notoneseat.ca/UnityPledge Then share this widely, because we need everyone #ONpoli #TOPoli #NotOneSeat
