ALL THE PEOPLE ON TWITTER TELLING ME THAT CANADA NEVER ACTUALLY IMPLEMENTS ITS TARIFFS ON OUR PRODUCTS SHOULD WRITE NOVELS. THEN THEY COULD GET PAID FOR LYING:  Retire They Said.

And these same people lecture us about tariffs!

SOMETIMES THIS HAPPENS:  Gone Ghibly.

I WAS ON ONE OF THESE A WHILE BACK. THIS ONE IS M. C. A. HOGARTH, WHO IS LIKE MY LITTLE SISTER OF THE SOUL:  Episode 137: M.C.A. Hogarth. (Podcast.)

She’s the nicer and prettier sister, though.

THIS IS A VERY, VERY BAD IDEA:  Nevada has a fairly wild AI bill that snuck up on me: SB 199. It might actually be the worst AI law I’ve ever seen. It creates a centralized regulator. It requires *any* company that develops *any* AI model to obtain a license from the state.

For the x-less.

If you think something is potentially dangerous, keep it away from the government. The government’s core competencies are killing (its own) people and breaking stuff. However making any technology more dangerous through economic and behavior distortions is a close third.

HOPE IS FINE, BUT WORK TOWARDS IT:  Hope for the future.
