All I wanted from the Switch was a console-only version. I know why it didn't happen, but I picked mine up on launch day, I've played on it every week since, and I've used the screen like, a handful of times on one trip the first year I had it.

I haven't disconnected it from the TV since then. I really didn't need the handheld form factor.

keep selling books through those channels

They need to start writing books worth buying again, first.

The only one I visit at all is Shoppers Drug Mart, and that one's not going to be an issue to cut out. Kinda tweaked that my local post office is operating out of it, though, and directly funneling public dollars into Galen Weston's pockets.

I remember people trying to do it as a kid by putting their noses in the books, and it confused the hell out of me. But then when I'd explain how to do it, they acted like I was muttering moon speak.

But what I do is just make repeating shapes overlap. Like, have you ever made your fingers overlap (by crossing your eyes)? Or played with the double images of things near your face while looking at something in the background?

You just do that so that neighbouring copies of image elements overlap.

This isn't both concerning and also totally in line with every move Gargon's made along the way. Nope nope nope!

Yeah. They have the right to rule, and ruling means doing whatever you want and forcing others to do it too. Anything that gets in the way of that -- including not making government -- is illegitimate and must be crushed.

Honestly the most impressive part of LLMs is the tokenizer that breaks down the request, not the predictive text button masher that comes up with the response.

Yes, exactly! It's ability to parse the input is incredible. It's the thing that has that "wow" factor, and it feels downright magical.

Unfortunately, that also makes people intuitively trust its output.

It “knows” as in it has access to the information and the ability to provide the right info for the right context.

It doesn't, though, any more than you have access to the information in a pile of 10 million shredded documents.

Actually, you know what? With that bullshit attitude, yeah, maybe you shouldn't be allowed to use technology to get your "chores" done faster. If you're picking destructive and disturbing over leaves-on-the-ground, then you've proven yourself incapable of making good decisions at this time.

The whole point of exporting education is to make money for Canada

Hey look! I found it! It's the whole motherfucking problem!

This is treating both education and people as commodities. Maybe we shouldn't be thinking this way.

At all.

Ever.

My favourite part about the rules being made up is that many of them were made up for the purposes of selling teaching aids and textbooks to schools and teachers.

The rules didn't come from linguists, they came from capitalist grammar nazis trying to make a buck off of their self importance.
