LLMs are not capable of human level intelligence, but they are an example of how to solve the fuzzy pattern matching problem that computers have otherwise been unable to.

If you're anti-AI because you think capitalist systems arent ready to acceptably accomodate the change that mass automation will bring I 100% get it. If you're anti-AI because you think the human brain is a special snowflake that can never be replicated with silicon then I think you're far off and need to self reflect.

The literal entirety of Facebook / Instagram / Whatsapp's backend is built on PHP.

I'm not saying that was a good choice, but it does guarantee a lot of resources flowing to it's development.

Most overrated language imho.

Okay full disclosure I'm not Canadian I'm just here for the political drama, but Canada is trailing behind Europe in terms of peogressiveness no? No proportional representation for one, and until recently no dental healthcare.

That is a massive quibble / splitting of hairs over an incredibly subjective metric. Whether or not Canada is number 1 or 2 or top 5 is not relevant. The point stands.

I don't think anyone here, including me, has said that.

That is precisely what your previous comment implied.

They do represent the business as usual political establishment so the broad comparison tracks; Canada has issues that will lead to a conservative majority if not addressed and a minority government has a much better chance of addressing those issues in a satisfactory way than a liberal majority government.

Really. What evidence do you have for that? Please do educate us with your extensive knowledge of Canadian parliamentary history and the relative effectiveness of our minority governments.

Closing your eyes, slowly taking a deep breath, and calmly, breathing in, and breathing out, while focusing on the sensations in your body, and how much more relaxed you're feeling right now

i.e. meditation

Lol. It's crazy to me that progressive Canadians act like the Liberals are the devil incarnate when they live in one of the stablest and most progressive countries in the world, and it's been lead largely by Liberal governments for most of its history.

Like I don't agree with every decision they've made but it's also crazy to just view them as incompetent northern Democrats.

I would rather a law that extends many of the properties of physical ownership to digital sales.

At a certain point the most dignified thing to do is admit defeat and acquiesce. They have a level of time and resources unfathomable to most adult humans.
