Canada@lemmy.ca•While billionaires bet against the hyped up multi-trillion-dollar AI market, Canada’s government is doubling down
1·12 days agoI am referring to the entire dot com bubble collapse, not just the actual market plummet. Zuckerberg came in at the tail end of the dot.com bubble collapse, when investors were very shy and pulling out of their investments. Amazon survived through the entire affair,but took a big hit. The shock waves were still rippling through the market in 2004, but he was still pulling in millions in investment money even though there was zero profit. The burn rate was horrendous. Why was he pulling in investment money at a time when investors had lost fortunes? Because he had a sound business plan that involved financializing the user base through advertising. While other startups floundered, he knew the dot.com era, read it perfectly. Out of the ashes…

Canada@lemmy.ca•While billionaires bet against the hyped up multi-trillion-dollar AI market, Canada’s government is doubling down
1·26 days agoSuch silliness throughout this article.
Might just as well run around yelling “The sky is falling!!! Head for the caves!!!”
Of course, the AI bubble is going to collapse, just like the ‘dot com’ bubble burst. With all the hype. misdirection, and false hope it generated, it is inevitable.
That does not mean that ALL the investments are going bust.
Facebook, Google, and many others were all part of the ‘dot.com’ bubble, and they certainly did not go down in flames.
Just like the dot.com boom, those who truly understand AI the way Zuckerberg understood the dot.com era, there are still fortunes to be made. Those who just think they understand, will be devastated. There is still a LOT of expansion room left in AI, the trick is sorting it out from all of the chaff that IS going to go ‘bust’. The winners are going to win very, very big. The losers are going to lose very, very big.
It’s all about knowing how to financialize AI.
An AI that just draws really cute, realistic caricatures will not make money because ANY AI can do it just as well. No advantage. It’s just routine ho-hum penny stock stuff. An AI that can foretell market fluctuations with amazing accuracy, now THAT is worth investing in. It is the patents that are valuable, not the concept of AI itself.
CHATbot failed miserably. It just gave you answers, essentially with no remuneration component. Properly financialized AI will give you answers to better buying ‘decisions’ - for a percentage, of course.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Fact File: No 'plan' to 'euthanize' 15 million Canadians with MAID
9·1 month agoamong vulnerable groups — defined as “individuals with severe mental health issues, the homeless, drug users, retired elderly, and Indigenous communities”
Who missed that ‘Indigenous Communities’ thing?
This is right out of the ‘White Supremacist’ agenda, and tops even Hitler’s Germany.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Fact File: No 'plan' to 'euthanize' 15 million Canadians with MAID
5·1 month agoSuch silliness. Who would pay for the ramp-up in mortuary facilities?
Considering that there have only been 13,287,523 total deaths in Canada since 1950, that is a huge step-up in demand.
Methinks they left out that bit about mass graves.
Or run the crematorium 24/7 until it melts or clogs.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Follow P.E.I.’s lead: Canada needs a national inquiry into China’s influence
1·1 month agoI agree.We also need to be very careful of some European investments in Canada. Europe has a strong presence in Canadian beer, oil, automotive, and steel, for instance.
Let’s set the record straight about Carney.
Carney is FISICALLY conservative, he is not SOCIALLY Conservative.
There is a very big difference.
He is NOT a ‘Conservative in Liberal clothing’, he is a fiscally conservative Liberal.
Wait - that is what the most successful Progressive Conservative leaders were. Haven’t seen one of them since the Reform party shenanigans.
National Observer has a left-center bias, so this is more ‘hope’ than ‘prediction’.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Is Canada selling out human rights for business with China? | The Hub Canada
4·2 months agoLet’s set the record straight.
China is not the only country that persecuted Islamic Uyghur Terrorists.
The United States dropped the largest non-nuclear bomb on harmless Uyghur villages, yet not a word is leveled against them.
America has caused greater human rights violations against the Uyghurs than has China. Except the American human rights violations all occurred in Afghanistan.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Michael Kovrig: Don't buy the gaslighting, China's intentions towards Canada are hostile -- [Opinion]
2·2 months agoSpavor and Kovrig were American operatives at opposite side of the political spectrum. Spavor was highly connected to the Republicans and was their contact with North Korea’s Kim, (recall he was the one that arranged the Rodman - a ranking Republican insider - visit to North Korea) and Kovrig was connected to the Democratic party through the International Crisis Group and George Soros. The ICG was arguably a tool for Soros to achieve his socialist agenda. Shades of MAD Magazine’s ‘Spy vs spy’.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Michael Kovrig: Don't buy the gaslighting, China's intentions towards Canada are hostile -- [Opinion]
2·2 months agoThe Irony is that the National Post is strongly connected to the Republican party, but Kovirg is intimately connected to the Democratic party through his vice-presidency with the International Crisis Group, a George Soros (Democratic) funded organization. Soros loudly proclaims that America should be a socialist country, just not a Chinese socialist country. America, not China, in his eyes, should be the strongest Socialist country in the world.

4·2 months agoHe knew well in advance what the dangers were, immediately after Meng was arrested, but he chose to stay in China. He was well coached by the American State Department through his connections with the International Crisis Group, a George Soros funded organization. There is nothing ‘innocent’ about the entire affair. He knew the risks of what he was doing. The perfect ‘Canadian’ target with high-ranking American connections, fit in perfectly with Meng being held in Canada under the direction of the American government.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Michael Kovrig: Don't buy the gaslighting, China's intentions towards Canada are hostile -- [Opinion]
3·2 months agoKovrig was an AMERICAN agent. Close and comfortable with the Democratic party through the International Crisis Group and George Soros. Spavor was cute and cuddly with the Republican party, their contact with North Korean Kim. Spavor arranged many meetings between high ranking Republicans and the Kim regime. Basketball diplomacy indeed. Rodman was a die-hard Republican agent. Both Michaels were under the guidance of the American State Department. The Chinese picked these two men very, very carefully because although they were Canadian, they both had deep connections with the American government and under the protection of the American State Department. Perfect tie-in with Meng Wanzhou who was held by the Canadian government at the request of the American government - pure karma.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Speed-camera threat — Doug Ford shows he's the irresponsible driver's best friend
1·3 months agoFrankly, at the fundamental root of the problem, is the fact that it is far too easy to ‘speed’ in a car. The basic design of the control system and the speedometer is to completely give the driver a completely erroneous feedback of the estimate of the speed of the car, and completely inadequate information on when and by how much the peed limit is being exceeded by. Not to mention the design of the road. Some roads are designed to give completely faulty feedback on the actual speed you are going. A driver should not have to completely keep watch on a sometimes inconspicuous speed indicator to know how fast they are going. That is why my suggestion for far more automatic radar signage that gives direct feedback on the speed the car is going at, compared to the established speed limit. especially in high-risk zones.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Speed-camera threat — Doug Ford shows he's the irresponsible driver's best friend
2·3 months agoIt’s all honky-dorey, perfectly legitimate, completely okay until you get your first speed camera ticket in the mail.
Makes a lot more sense if, by law, these speed cameras have to be paired with an instant feedback sign that shows your speed, just before the photo is taken, so you are not caught unawares several weeks later.










It is in point of fact accurate to say the Liberal party is more fiscally Progressive Conservative than say the party of Joe Clark.
