Absolutely breathtaking! ❤️❤️

This is a very very good point. Coding in most languages is free (hardware notwithstanding), and with open source we truly own the means of production. The push for AI and vibe coding is straight up enclosure.

I need to be very clear, that the push towards "vibe coding" - that is, deliberately deskilling people - is because AI code assistants are an (increasingly expensive) subscription service.

If you know how to code, you can just write Python, C, Java, R, PHP, whatever for free and make things. You may not own the tools of production, but at least you're not renting them.

If you have been deskilled so you only know how to vibe code, you will be paying for that privilege forever.

This also goes, by the way, for researchers who are starting to be convinced they don't need to learn how to be scientists anymore, because "the AI" can just do the science for them. Nope.

What are they trying to avoid or distract us from? Whistleblower Peter Guthrie got kicked out of cabinet? Their expensive forays into Public Healthcare? The rural municipal uprising over the orphan wells? Facilitating the plunder of the Rockies for foreign billionaires? www.michaeljanz.ca/bikeplan

Mexican President Sheinbaum confirms that Trump has phoned her to secretly pressure her to allow US troops to enter the country. The president said no to Trump and told him "Mexico's sovereignty is inviolable and it's not for sale."..."We will never accept a US military presence in our territory."

@human3500 @threatresearch @hacks4pancakes No Australia voted in a leftie government.

For years, North Korea has been secretly placing young IT workers inside Western companies.

With AI, their schemes are now more devious—and effective—than ever.

@br00t4c do they address Trump's derangement?????

Absolutely frightening, and she has also legislated her big party politics into our municipal elections as well.

"Even though we dodged a Canadian version of Trump on the federal level, Alberta’s own version, Danielle Smith, chose today to introduce sweeping reforms to Alberta’s election, encouraging big money back into our contests while pushing a variety of voter suppression rules." - Rachel Notley

https://drjaredwesley.substack.com/p/danielle-smiths-electoral-reforms

Excerpts: The UCP’s reforms reflect a deeper shift toward the strategies pioneered by Trump Republicans: leveraging dark money, undermining trust in elections, weaponizing recalls, disenfranchising opponents, suppressing voter turnout, and empowering radical populist movements.

This convergence is not accidental. It is a conscious political strategy.

The UCP is lowering the barriers to holding province-wide referendums, a key demand from separatist factions within the party’s base.

In the United States, Trump’s allies have increasingly used referenda to pursue partisan objectives, bypassing legislative scrutiny. In Alberta, easier referendums open the door to populist campaigns on complex issues including, potentially, a vote on Alberta’s secession or joining the United States.

At a moment when the premier has been accused of stoking separatist sentiment, loosening these requirements represents a concession to radical elements that seek to destabilize Canadian federalism. If she is the federalist she claims to be, Smith should at least consider reviewing the trials and tribulations of David Cameron, the unwitting architect of Brexit.

The UCP's bill eliminates “vote anywhere” provisions, restricts special ballots, and introduces additional identification requirements for voters.

All three measures make voting more difficult, reversing decades of progress across Canada to improve voter equality.

As research — including our own — has shown, voter ID laws disproportionately affect younger and older, Indigenous, disabled, rural, and low-income voters. These groups are less likely to have government-issued photo ID, and new requirements can create barriers that depress turnout.

The bill reduces the number of signatures required to initiate recall petitions against MLAs and municipal leaders.

While pitched as a mechanism for greater accountability, experience from the United States suggests otherwise. Lower thresholds facilitate the weaponization of recall petitions by organized political groups seeking to destabilize elected officials over ideological disputes, not misconduct.

In Republican-led states, such tactics have created a chilling effect, discouraging politicians from making difficult but necessary decisions for fear of constant political retaliation.

The timing of this bill is significant and far from coincidental.

Premier Smith introduced these controversial reforms the day after the federal election hoping to catch the media off guard and hoping few of us would notice given the attention on Ottawa.

That is scarcely a good-faith context for debating the most consequential set of reforms to election laws in Alberta’s history.

Had the reforms been tabled later, they would have drawn national attention and hurt Pierre Poilievre's federal Conservatives by reinforcing narratives about Trumpism within the conservative movement.
