“There is no specific purpose, there is no specific use case for generative AI. It’s just been a technology over the past couple of years that’s just floating around looking for purpose, looking for some kind of uptake.”

There too? Our grocery stores have been running amok with prices since the beginning of the pandemic. Some food has gone up by 50% in just a few years.

Gamification of shopping? You’re right, it’s always worse than the previous one.

Also, I never said anything about supporting a political party. All the parties in this country are too far right for me.

Nothing semantic about it. Liberals are right wing, which is a fact that they prove, repeatedly in how they govern. They’ll never go left, because they oppose left wing policies.

I dunno about that. I think the liberals are every bit as greedy and power hungry as they seem. They put on the false face of ideology and self righteousness, but I don’t think they actually believe it.

Liberals are right wing. Supporting liberals to prevent the right from winning, just doesn’t make sense.

I was friends with a mild conservative for over 20 years. For all that time, she knew that I'm a socialist. Yet when she became a liberal, she accused me of spreading "right wing propaganda." Nothing liberals do or say surprises me anymore.

"PPC-left" I'm honestly surprised that I haven't been called that yet.

To what end are you interested in stopping conservatives? Will you support liberals, who have proven themselves to be the same as conservatives, or will you support the NDP, who don't have the guts to do anything? Do you intend to lie, and claim that the Libs and NDP are progressive?

A bootlicker is someone who cares more about winning than having values. You contradicted yourself in one, stupid sentence.

I'd bet it's something that doesn't centre liberals as the saviours of western democracy. Liberals have to label everyone other than them as Conservatives, because it's the only shtick they have.

If you were a fossil fuel heir, you wouldn't do that, because wealthy people don't care about others.

It's time to stop idolizing the 1%, and realize that they're the enemy here.

If I had learned this two weeks ago, I would have suggested a remake of Stardust, where they play the royal family of Stormhold.

I dunno. The PE teacher using a golf cart seems like a pretty bad teacher, so the analogy kinda works.

Reminds me of the time that some rich guy on Twitter was bragging about how he got 25M at 19, and grew it by 2M over 11 years. Guy didn't realize that inflation grew faster than his investments.

Seconding this. Bree proved themselves to be garbage when they referred to activism as "a game."

First of all, no one else has billions in funding to support their protests. Second of all, if they’re funded by an oil baron, that should call everything they do into question.
