My guess is the AI encouraged the incident. They are built to be sycophantic. If the chat bot was not outright suggesting the tragedy, it was saying what a great idea it was.
Canadians only seem willing to boycott farmers not the powerful men that have Trumps ear and put him in power to enact their will.
America has already completed a near 100% digital conquest of Canada with near zero resistance. No wonder they are surprised that there is pushback about "51st state"
You don't trust a country run by somebody who bold face lies about easily verifiable truths hundreds of times every day? Who TACOs back and forth on ultimatums several times a week?
Who makes international trade agreements one year claiming them the best deal ever, then calls them terrible deals 4 years later and rips them up?
Really? The man who's idea of elbows up is handing over all our military data to an American AI company and paying for the privilege isn't doing a good job?
They made up an IPO price bypassing the bankers and then forced it into everyone's Retirement Accounts with early adoption into the indexes.
OpenAI and Anthropic will do the same. They will pump it to the moon. Then IPO to the moon Vic's will cash out at 100x profit as everyone's retirement crater and reduce by half.
At the same time the economy goes great depression 2.0 as the bottom drops out.
The demented billionaires consider themselves demigods with a right to rule. Go listen to Peter Thiel wax poetic on how Half-Trans (as in Transvestite) is BAD but Full-Trans (as in Transhuman) is good.
These people consider themselves a different species, above humans and they have no more regard for human beings than any other species they have exploited or wiped off the face of the earth.
In the same interview he can't bring himself to say ending the human race would be a bad thing. If the interviewer posed the same question about trans-humans he would have a very different response.
Edit: Cory Doctorow eloquently covering this exact phenomenon.
Ha ha. Traffic will move to let billionaires through quickly.
Regular folks will be stuck in endless traffic trapped in driverless cars that charge them $5 a minute for the privilege all while playing the same loud and obnoxious audio video ads on repeat for hours on end.
How about construction workers, truck drivers carrying goods to the border for export, business people hoping to board planes to make international deals?
They don't produce anything? A plumber that does three house calls in a day and has to cancel his fourth call of the day (yours) as they don't have time to complete it because of traffic slowing their travel time is no problem for you? 3 jobs in a day instead of 4 isn't less productive?
Mark Carney is either a fraud or a buffoon. I don't think anyone thinks he's a buffoon.
I think everyone expects him to pay lip service to the climate while boosting oil and gas.
But he is an econ guy remember. So surely he will attack Canada's terrible productivity problem right?
Explain to me how subjecting government workers to two hours of sitting in their car each day makes them more productive. How does clogging the roads with traffic help businesses complete deliveries in a timely matter. Does it shrink spending on emergency services, and road maintenance or increase it? How about income from tourists? Who needs tourists bringing money into the local economy spending money at local businesses when they can idle their cars in traffic.
Apparently Canada needs to build data centres for data sovereignty, yet he is handing over all Canadian data to Palantir and paying for the privilege. He has not even made any lip service about getting the government off of American software. Meanwhile Europe is rapidly building and implementing its own search engines, software and moving things over to FOSS and Linux.
If only it were so. Unfortunately prices were jacked up worldwide to compensate. If only the Americans were paying the tarrif it would have been an extra $50-100 for the console in the U.S. easy.

Probably like these cases of AI psychosis

Looks as realistic as his fake tan in a can.
BC Hydro is shelling out $12,000 to repair chargers people are destroying in order to sell the copper for a paltry $20-$150
And it's happening more and more. The waste is unreal. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/ev-charger-thefts-rise-9.7323039
So are iPhones, Amazon, Google, and Facebook.

Google 100% supports trump. as do Amazon, Facebook, and Apple.
That's Sundar Pichai
Probably will rename Canada to Northern Puerto Rico and treat it as such.
You don't trust a country run by somebody who bold face lies about easily verifiable truths hundreds of times every day? Who TACOs back and forth on ultimatums several times a week?
Who makes international trade agreements one year claiming them the best deal ever, then calls them terrible deals 4 years later and rips them up?
What is wrong with yo man? Are you sane?
Because people exist to be exploited by you. What other value could another person possibly have,?
People should be switching searches from Google to an alternative like Qwant (endorsed by the EU) whenever possible.
People are voluntarily handing over 1000s of dollars a year to google.
When most of the time they can get similar or better results with an alternative.
All the tech overlords stood behind trump at his inauguration, including Googles Sundar Pichai
Sadly I think there will be record iPhone sales in Canada this year.
Probably an increase in netflix and Disney streaming revenue too unless there is a tax placed on the streamers.
Most Canadians aren't pretty oblivious and politically unaware and lack the grit and determination of their forefathers.
I'm afraid we have much of the apathy and same political problems of the US just to a slightly lesser degree.

SpaceX IPO was 90% XAI 10% spaceX.

He should try running for the Liberals. It worked for Carney.
Our thirst for power?

Thanks for posting. I haven't seen it, but I'm definitely going to check it out thanks to your post.
She could start a billion dollar anti trans foundation that runs off the proceeds.
Right now she NEEDS all that money. Could be much worse when she is gone and she doesn't.
So we can hope things will improve but please nobody hold their breath and keep your expectations low.
