  • Calgary is doing a lot things right from an urban planning perspective, and near-by Edmonton is the gold-standard for progressive zoning laws among Canadian urbanists. But unfortunately Alberta is a very car-brained province, as are all provinces in the Canadian prairies.

    I’m not sure why that is. It’s a very working class region so many people may need pickup trucks for work which probably has something to do with it. Plus the vast distances between population centres make train travel between most cities economically unfeasible and car ownership more attractive, so it might have something to do with the geography as well.

  • Just don’t bring it out on a windy day or the solar panel would turn into a sail real quick

  • If this works then it’s great news. A big part of vaccine hesitancy is literally just people being afraid of needles. So a needle free vaccine would increase uptake of vaccines.

  • There is now also evidence to suggest that air pollution causes dementia 

  • If it’s chemically indistinguishable from honey then I’d say yes it’s real honey. It might be preferable to real honey for the same reason lab grown meat is preferable to real meat.

  • ‘Fake’ diamonds are not really fake, just synthetic, since they are chemically indistinguishable from real diamonds. Many (but not all) fake foods are not like this, since they have different core ingredients 

  • There has also been an influx of users on Piefed which might explain why things seem more active on here.

  • I don’t think OpenAI was intentionally targeting women. I doing know if they ever intended for people to fall in love with 4o, it just kind of started happening 

  • Interesting.

    I have some follow-up questions for you, if thats alright: How did you happen upon the fire eating business? Also, how is it possible for the fire to not burn your throat? 

  • You might be right. I really don’t know what would be included under their intelligence sharing agreements, I just know that an agreement exists

  • How does one accidentally invent a new fire eating trick while live on stage? 

  • Please elaborate 

  • There are already apps that target this demographic but expanding on it. Anecdotally many of the people attached to 4o seem to be women seeking emotional attachment. These new AI companion apps scope up this demographic I’m sure. But they also target horny men and prey on their impulses to drain their credit cards (you buy your AI gifts or whatever until the post-nut clarity sets in I guess).

  • The US already has intelligence sharing programs with many of their Allies (eg the five eyes alliance, which includes Canada, Australia, the UK and NZ). So other nations very well may have copies

  • Okay I see the url now thanks. I didn't know proton had an AI. Seems neat.

  • That link appears to be broken on my end.

  • I do too. But if someone really does want to use these tools then there are better and worse ways of doing it

  • It’s better from a privacy perspective. But yeah, you’d still ultimately be using ChatGTP at the end of the day so another model might be preferable
