Apparently, it has something, something, something to do with concerns about 'safety':

Sam Altman and Elon Musk have backed a call from the head of Anthropic, Dario Amodei, to “slow the pace” of AI development after he warned that an AI swarm could otherwise become capable of “taking over the entire internet” within a year.In a rare show of unity, the rival technology leaders threw their weight behind the appeal from the founder and chief executive of the artificial intelligence company Anthropic, which came after a series of warnings from AI researchers last week...
However, could there, possibly, be another reason that the titans would like to lower expections and slow things down a little?
OpenAI will not go public in 2026, Sam Altman said in a Fortune interview published on Saturday, citing safety concerns over artificial intelligence.“I actually think that, given everything happening with safety, right now would be an ill-advised moment to go public, and we don’t feel pressure on that,” Altman, OpenAI’s CEO told Fortune...
Which has me wondering...
In addition to every book ever written, can large language models can scrape bubbles too?

I'm still curious that no Canadian companies bid for the ferry contract. wonder what that was really all about.
The song and dance about AI destroying or taking over the world, nice try but I'm not buying it. It could perhaps take over other computers but have a look at the world. There are all sorts of places which don't have computers, electricity, telephones, or any thing close to it. Computers getting out of control, ya right, just unplug them. My take on it is next step, a restriction on the types of computers people or some corporations, organizations can use or have. sort of like book banning in the old days
The problem with AI is that it has no moral fibre so to speak and it deals with a binary yes/no, which is scary.
Maybe Azimov's I robot series should be reread and implemented. Just change AI from Robot.
The Three Laws, presented to be from the fictional "Handbook of Robotics, 56th Edition, 2058 A.D.", are:
A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law
A new study in the Canadian Medical Association Journal finds B.C.’s drug decriminalization experiment did not deliver the overdose reductions the NDP promised.
Deaths and hospitalizations did not improve here in a way that set British Columbia apart from other provinces. Police encounters for possession dropped. The big health benefits did not show up. Communities got the open drug use and disorder instead.
The NDP sold this as a life-saving plan. It was an ideological experiment. They legalized possession, pushed so-called safe supply, and starved real treatment like detox and involuntary care. Then they acted surprised when streets got worse and the death numbers did not turn.
If your flagship drug policy cannot even beat the trend in other provinces, it has failed. Stop doubling down. Enforce the law. Build mandatory care. End the NDP’s drug-normalcy experiment.
Dear RossK, your BlogCrawl doesn't seem to be updating, and most entries are several days old.
Got it Anon-Above - something has gone awry with the blogger platform...Will try to fix
I suspect you have the wrong topic?
Magically, just before a possible snap election, Eby suddenly found the capacity and resources to commit to building future BC Ferries in B.C. — after BC Ferries had already selected an overseas shipyard for its current major-vessel procurement. (BC Ferries)
And, all of a sudden, the planned PST expansion to professional services is being paused — even though Budget 2026 had counted on that expansion as a new revenue measure, while B.C. is now projecting a $13.8-billion deficit for 2026–27. (British Columbia News Archive)
What a coincidence. 😉
British Columbians can decide for themselves what they make of the timing.
Its hard to keep or hold a religion if you don't have a soul
