  • It really grinds my gears that Trudeau &co screwed up the program that badly.

    A cheque/direct deposit with the memo "climate mitigation rebate" should have been sent to every Canadian before the program began. Followed by regular rebates with a clear reason. Instead they had some weird set of initials they nobody recognized.

    And then there's the whole "let's buy votes with a special exemption for heating oil" fiasco that reopened the issue.

    Like, yeah, Poilievre is a dick for exploiting the fuck ups on a good policy, but it's like Trudeau didn't even want it to succeed. Ugh.

  • we've essentially created a computer program that is just as fallible as humans.

    Humans are a little better in this respect: we know when something should be secure and can try to hide it. Like you say, it takes social engineering to trick secrets out of us.

    Language models don't try to keep secrets.

  • Provinces have been skimping on funding universities, because post-secondary institutions can get so much cash from international students.

    To the point where even a 35% decrease in new student enrollment means a loss of $1 billion for just Ontario over two years.
