  • Canada Post needed

    If Canada looks South, many in the US want future hand counts in elections because of interference through tech via corrupt actors.

    Mail is another example of this as Trump needed to ruin mail systems in IS to undermine vote by mail.

    What happens in US, often comes North. Don’t let tech and oligarchs take over control!!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Some AI agents cheat. But others act as whistleblowers. Could we use that to mitigate the threats posed by AI?
Q: What did the researchers ask the AI agents to do in the DeepMind experiment?
They asked the agents to cooperate to solve hard math problems, sharing solutions publicly and privately, to observe how they would handle collaboration and rule-following, including how they respond to potential cheating.
Conservative writer Charlie Sykes says Canada is right to take a stand against Trump’s tariffs
Q: What did you think of Canada walking away from the deal that our side said was unacceptable?
Sykes says it was understandable given past defiance from Canadian leadership, and comments on the global reaction, noting it as a seismic move that could indicate a shift away from capitulation to Trump.
A record-breaking wildfire season is straining Europe's aerial firefighting capacity
Q: Why is recruitment a bottleneck in the firefighting fleet?
There aren't enough trained pilots and maintenance crews globally, and the work is highly demanding, making succession planning and recruitment slow.
A record-breaking wildfire season is straining Europe's aerial firefighting capacity
Q: What happens next as European firefighting firms adapt to longer seasons?
The industry will need more technicians, more pilots, and earlier investment in aircraft and training, with governments recognizing the long-term demand and supporting capacity expansion.
Why it's important to remember the 2021 heat dome in British Columbia
Q: Is it any different now that you have an agent and legal support
With legal representation and awareness, future deals could be more favorable, and I would approach any AI likeness contract with rigorous review and more control over output.
