I used to have so much respect for this guy, but there’s nothing I hate more than a hypocrite. Imagine making a fortune teaching people to rise above their emotions, question their judgments, and master their egos, only to dismiss anyone who disagrees with you as “literally the worst people.” What a joke.
Backlash from literally the worst people…

That you can show up at a Toronto emergency ward with an inexplicable gunshot wound and not be held by @TorontoPolice speaks to just how ineffective @MayorOliviaChow’s woke crime strategy is: Smith said officers did not arrest Richards while he was receiving treatment because they had not yet established reasonable grounds linking him to the home invasion. “We don’t just go off of suspicion,” she said, explaining that investigators had established that connection through forensic work with the Centre for Forensic Science and canvassing in the community.

Karen Swisher makes ten million dollars a year from tech companies advertising on her podcast and has the ears of powerful Democrats She's using that platform, paid for by the technology industry, to encourage the prosecution of our greatest entrepreneurs and patriots. Prof. G encouraged their listeners to "resist and unsubscribe" from all of the great technology companies in America, including Uber, Netflix, Salesforce, Amazon Prime, Google, Meta, and Apple!!! These technology companies are advertising on the podcast that is actively encouraging the demise of tech products and entrepreneurs! 🤦🤦🤦😂😂😂😂

The number of Canadians who will choose @cohere over OpenAI, Anthropic or an open weight model is zero. Not a single Canadian will use this product or this company of their own volition.
Canadians will own a stake in Cohere’s world-leading secure AI.  An investment for Canadians, by Canadians.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
On LMArena, people vote blindly on best AI answers. Cohere’s best model, Command A, ranks around 210th. On Vals.ai’s coding test, Command A scored 7.8%, dead last out of 88 models. Cohere AI is not world-leading in objective or subjective analysis, based upon the data. arena.ai/leaderboard/te… artificialanalysis.ai/models artificialanalysis.ai/models/creator… vals.ai x.com/m1ddy/status/2… x.com/ArtificialAnly…

Replying to @JohnLeFevre
From Marcus Aurelius: Ryan, the raised finger reveals more about the soul that lifts it than the sign it targets. Political contests and the judgments of others lie outside your command. Guard the citadel of your mind. Choose justice and temperance over the brief heat of contempt. Externals cannot harm you unless you assent.

“While we are focused on recovery and supporting one another as a family, we are also deeply concerned about the increasing violence associated with home invasions and the safety of families throughout Toronto,” Morton said.“No family should ever have to experience this. People should be able to sleep peacefully in their homes without fear of armed individuals breaking in and threatening their lives.”

It should be illegal for a government to fund a company that should be competing with other companies to see if it succeeds or fails. How is it fair to other companies? What grounds do they base their ability to do this? This is not government's job. Canada isn't Dragon's Den.

Having this happen in the same week as a mayoral election in which the incumbent's supporters confidently declared that concerns about crime were fear-mongering is frankly just bad and obvious screenwriting.

It’s getting worse and they want to label you “UN-Canadian” for not wanting to be a victim 🇨🇦🆘
📺 WATCH: @CBCTheNational on Toronto's rising home invasion crisis, now targeting the wealthiest & most affluent homes in the GTA. One resident told @GregRoss17 "All these houses have good security so I'm kinda surprised... Shooting people in the house just seems mind-boggling."

🚨 THIS IS NOT NORMAL. NOT EVEN CLOSE. A violent home invasion in Toronto’s prestigious Bridle Path. Three family members shot. Two victims left with life altering injuries. A neighbour breaks down in tears, fearing for her young child. Another resident says his Lamborghini Urus has been stolen THREE TIMES. He has now hired full time security. Think about that. Multi million dollar homes. Security cameras. Alarm systems. Full time security guards. And families are still terrified. This is starting to sound like something straight out of a Hollywood crime thriller, except the cameras aren't rolling for a movie. This is real life in Canada. At what point do we recognize how disturbing this has become? People want safety. People want answers. People want to feel secure in their own homes. Because if we start accepting this as normal, what kind of society are we becoming?

No Canadian family should ever have to fear for their lives behind their own front door. My Bill C-293, the Safe at Home Act, would make violent home invasion a distinct criminal offence, with a five-year mandatory minimum sentence, a maximum life sentence, and reverse-onus bail. Your home should be your safe haven. Violent offenders must be held accountable.

Cohere is a typical Canadian business success story, which is being really good at getting government funding

Canada needs the right to bear arms. This is completely unacceptable and it’s getting worse every month.

Elon Musk: "At its heart, wokeness is divisive, exclusionary, and hateful. It basically gives mean people a shield to be mean and cruel, armored in false virtue." There's really nothing more I could add to that.
