In case you want to be even angrier at the shitty “AI” companies that scrape the internet for their shitty LLMs, it looks like they’re literally attacking open-source infrastructure. Their scraping possibly reaches over 70% of all traffic to these servers! WTF.
“Marathon Vancouver airport hotel strike ends after 1,411 days”: holy shit that’s a long strike. Back in France, the much different union model has downsides, but the upside is that it’s easier for workers to fuck shit up and get things resolved faster.
British Columbia is such a hippie granola-eating place that we have a ton of “free range” parents who don’t vaccinate their kids (for entirely different reasons than the right-wing antivax crowd) Enough to have an even lower vaccination rate than Gaines County, Texas. WTF.
Poilievre uses Trump-like rethoric, refuses to get briefed on election interference, refuses to get a security clearance, and now refuses to have journalists following him on his campaign. When are Conservatives going to kick this clown out?
“The Driver Is Red”: a short animated documentary film about the capture of senior Nazi officer Adolf Eichmann by the Mossad in 1960 Argentina. Quite well done.
