He’s also doubling down on the AI wagon. It’s leaving a very bad taste in my mouth, as apart from the techbros, few people are really enthusiastic about this.

PM Carney: "Our goal is AI for all. AI governed by Canadian values, AI accountable to Canadians, AI that serves Canadians. AI for all can make the jobs of Canadian workers more interesting and more rewarding."

Regulation of AI so that it doesn't Skynet us is probably a good idea. I don't know if that's exactly what Carney is saying. Either way, letting the Americans and Chinese monopolize AI is just going to make them our overlords eventually.

We can't just stick our heads in the sand and pretend AI won't advance without Canadians leading its development.

The stated policy of this government is to minimize AI regulation. He rushed AI consultation with an emphasis on business demands, rather than ethics and values, sidelining independent experts. His minister of AI is a tool who once sold the guy art, leading to him getting canned from the CBC. None of this gives me any confidence.

...uh oh

Yeah. The idea of ensuring AI and data storage remain Canadian and regulated to ensure its responsible use (I recognize that there are promising and legitimate uses for AI) is good.

Letting Solomon and the techbros call the shots is bad.

...I hope he has a back up plan when that bubble bursts though. It's turning into one of the biggest investor grifts of the century.

Don't worry, Solomon said OpenAI told him how they should be governed, so next time someone uses chatgpt to plan a shooting they can just not warn anyone again.
