The Advent of AI
All the words around AI, the idea that it can be “trained,” that it “reads,” that it “writes,” that it has “intelligence” — all of them are deceptive.
Keep an eye out for the sheer number of times, and the sheer number of ways, you are told AI is something you ought to be using.
Not every drowning victim will be saved on beaches with lifeguards. But in every case lifeguards will start search-and-save efforts sooner.

Canada is used to being considered small, a marginal player on the world stage — part of the G7, yes, but not one of the members with real heft. And yet. It is now a leader in a global resistance movement.
