This is an excellent a-political explainer about why the actual act of Alberta, or any province, "separating" from Canada is a very difficult, maybe impossible, prospect.

It's worth the time (14 minutes) Including if you're not Canadian and want a relatively quick summary of some of the very Canadian history and processes.

"It's like having a reference librarian!"

My Brother in Taxonomy, it is the farthest thing from that.

A reference librarian is a person with feelings, motivations and ethics, who has a goal of helping you find the answer to your question.

The chatbot is a clockwork mechanism that extrudes text optimized to make you *think* your question has been answered.

It is also a machine built by fascists with the goal of creating a dependent, de-skilled, submissive populace and ending Democracy. HTH.

I don't think China wants your text messages, Premier, but the people of Ontario certainly want to know what government business you're conducting on your personal phone and what it means for their tax dollars... https://t.co/LpSnzHqEFm https://twitter.com/MaritStiles/status/2033602957602590919

Asked about the FOI changes, Ford defends the need to keep his cell phone records private. Then he adds: “We’ve got to protect ourselves against the Communist Chinese that are infiltrating our country, Canada, the US, everything.”

@d_stepanovic it is even scarier, since no assumption is being made, no thinking is done:
It rather is "... the next plausible-sounding token predictors data-distribution salted with some randomness which gets shipped..."

Got an AI-written reply from a vendor we pay tens of millions of dollars a year to, and it doesn't feel good.

Three people spent enormous
deliberative effort for a whole day in very expensive company time to make every word of that.

You put it in an answer shredder and spit it at me with some editing.

Feels bad.
