Canada’s Mark Carney has chosen a shameless approach: to cast the opposition as a lack of “literacy” as he sets out to (re)educate Canadians about the benefits of AI.

Root cause of governance failure was never left versus right. Irs Rich versus not rich. Top versus bottom.

Political debate needs to stop the left right law and look at if the elected officials act to entrench the power of the rich.

Entrenching powe is what AI is about. Just like a majority of policy these days.

It’s literacy on a high enough level to see through the smokescreens of big tech AND politics alike. 🤔

People who oppose AI do not do it owing to a lack of literacy about it.

They oppose it because -- like Midwest farmers during the Great Depression, who were oppressed by the banks as much as the overall economy -- they know what its purveyors will do with it. And because they're not the beneficiaries of the lobbying largesse they pay out to politicians.

Their lack of critical thinking suggests they have already OD'd on LLMs.

Benefits of AI: giant sweaty piles of money directly to six of the worst companies in the United States, and the worst people in the country who run them.

Conservative austerity ghoul approved!
