Good! I hope the #UAE pulls all funding for the #AISlop-Centre!

..It would have been another "dirty money" deal..just like the one with the #Trump-family,Crypto business!

In a spectacular act of self destructive enshitification Time Magazine have slapped an AI search bar over the centre of every article. There's no way to make it go away.

I don't want to explore the archive. I want to be able to read this article. #AISlop #Enshitification #ResistAI #Meh

This is so laughably stupid it's pathetic. I am so glad I didn't vote for this clown show and voted for my local NDP candidate before leaving my old riding of Hamilton Centre. All the neolibs defending him can fuck right off, you're a bunch of clowns too.

Does Eurovision not earn enough money to hire real arists, or couldn't even do a quick recording with a few real life humans to do a sequence? Instead, they rely on AI to generate slop. Really not a good look when uniting humans and creativity.

Screenshot from Eurovision Song Contest 2026, depicting AI-slop. In this particular scene, seven older white men to represent "lack of diversity". AI-slop to depitct, seven humans with varying age, gender and ethinicty to "show diversity", except that this is not how a natural jury works. AI-slop to depitct, an older man on the countryside using a mobile phone, in relation to voting. AI-slop to depitct, an younger woman in a city-centre talking in a mobile phone, in relation to voting.

Saying ‘no’ to AI data centre a huge win for Manitoba — and Kinew IT’S a tale of two provinces — and two artificial intelligence data centre mega-projects. Reporters at Canada’s National Observer broke the story in April that the Alberta government had quietly exempted a 700-acre AI data centre mega-project, led by celebrity investor Kevin O’Leary, from provincial environmental assessments. By most accounts, the Wonder Valley project 40 kilometres south of Grande Prairie, is a looming environmental disaster. AI data centres require vast amounts of water to prevent overheating. The project intends to get water from the region’s primary water sources, the Smoky River and Little Smoky River, which have had droughts and ecological impacts due to clear-cut logging and have been classified by scientists as “overdrawn watersheds.” While O’Leary states the facility will consume around six million cubic metres of water a year, critics have put the figure at 24 million cubic metres. In fact, in the land sale documents negotiated by O’Leary’s company, the investor is demanding that it be given a guarantee that 24 million cubic metres of water will be available for use at Wonder Valley. There is also the matter of how much electricity AI data centres require. The Alberta project will require 7.5 gigawatts of power, mostly from the burning of natural gas. The immense cost and amount of carbon emissions from burning that amount of fuel would make the project one of Canada’s most expensive and polluting projects. The staggering volume of water and the use of fossil fuels have raised alarms among environmental groups and local residents as well as First Nations. Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation, which will be affected the most by the Wonder Valley project, say they haven’t been consulted. Cree leaders have appealed the decision for an environmental exemption of the project to the Alberta Environmental Appeals Board — and had their case thrown out. Don’t forget that provinces…

There are lot of BS AI posts about solving homelessness using solar powered cubicles. Finland show the way with its Homes First model. But homelessness rises if you cut back the support system.

Conservatism is the main cause of homelessness
