Nah I'm done with the US entirely. The only way I can see us moving forward with them at this point is if they split into smaller independent countries but the USA is a toxic hateful mess
I'm very much critical of those topics, but they're a bit beyond the scope of my initial comment. Just to make it clear, I'm not a centrist nor a Liberal voter. My original point is that the average Canadian LPC voter is not voting out of malice for others but out of a desire for stability (especially now in a time where things are very unstable). For example, a Liberal would generally want existing social support systems like our socialised healthcare to continue being funded at the levels that meet people's needs but are generally anxious at the idea of funding new similar programs like pharmacare.
Most of these voters also have zero real insight or historical context on geopolitical topics such as neocolinialism and I can say confidently that they're not thinking about it when voting.
I think it's all ignorant, misguided and lacks vision but I don't consider it something that's worthy of being labeled "bad".
Sorry, what are you referring to exactly? If it's the treatment of indigenous peoples in Canada or historical collaboration with the US' imperialistic wars then I'd agree with you but I know the average Liberal voter isn't thinking about either of those things. While it's bad that it's not on their mind, I wouldn't call them bad people for it as I would do with enthusiastic supporters of Pierre Poilievre's CPC
Centrists in Canada are just Liberals and while I disagree with some of their policies, they're not bad, just status quo. Centrists in the US are undoubtedly bad though because what the hell?
I think LLMs are fine in moderation. It can be a useful tool in software development as long as it stays just a tool and you don't let it write your whole codebase.
I think LLMs should stay the hell out of the artistic space though. I'm not even remotely an artist but that's the one thing that is and should remain a human thing. Computer automating art is gross
Amazing thank you! I was getting close to unsubscribing since new (seemingly bot) users would flood this community and my front-page as a result
edit: wow the vote counts on the comments in this thread are weird
