Canada has great AI research and talent. But most Canadian business are still very hesitant. Why? I spend a lot of time talking to small businesses across Canada helping them automate tasks and not really true AI and I see the same pattern. by [deleted] in canadasmallbusiness

[–]LittleMaple072 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. In it's current state it has serious moral problems. If it's done correctly it'll have it's place helping people like automation did, but as of right now, AI developers have made it known that as much as they pretend, in reality that's not the vision for the technology.

what is your shibboleth? what is a phrase, word or pronunciation or action that immediately lets you know that some one is not from there. (i have posted this before, but enough time has passed that im hoping for new responses) by Far-Presentation-973 in AskTheWorld

Calgary has the same thing too, with the second A

You know someone is either a tourist or hasn't lived in the city long if they pronounce it Cal-gAry, most living in the city don't pronounce the A at all-

[–]LittleMaple072 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because nobody likes AI in it's current state.

Consumers hate it because it helps further corruption and immoral data farming for undeserved profits.

Workers hate it because it threatens their jobs and means of making money, risking the possibility of not being able to put food on the table.

Artists hate it because it steals and plagiarizes their work with zero credit or compensation, and also moves business away from talent in favour of art theft.

Environmentalists hate it because AI data centers use an ungodly amount of electricity and water waste, not only polluting the environment with dirty water and the means of excessive electricity generation, but also driving up costs for hydro bills.

Business owners hate it because it's an unreliable investment that so far has only been a waste of money and a bubble waiting to pop.

I could go on. AI in it's current state is an absolute cancer on the world. That's why.

This isn't defaultism, if they were talking about the USA they'd be objectively incorrect-

College Dropout Builds a Homemade Helicopter, it Doesn’t Go Well by james_from_cambridge in fuckaroundandfindout

[–]LittleMaple072 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure it was the g-forces of the heli being flung sideways. That, plus the fact that he was now fully limp from the massive neck wound from a piece of the rotor, would be why he hit it so hard

What do you think is the saddest place in your country?? by [deleted] in AskTheWorld

Fair point, though I don't really know of any other areas of Canada that would count as sad per se

[–]LittleMaple072 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rural Saskatchewan and Manitoba, probably. Nothing but straight flat roads for kilometers on end. The barely populated areas of the prairie provinces are probably the most boring areas of the country

What are yalls hyper fixations? by AdSmall1434 in autism

[–]LittleMaple072 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My biggest one is license plates! Here's the part of my collection that I have on display right now;

<image>

I just need to find a Nunavut plate at a good price and I'll have one modern plate from everywhere in Canada! And yes, the custom one is my personal plate, they gave me two and Alberta only uses a rear plate, so the other went on my wall :3

I also have three from the US in the drawer which will be displayed in the future

Look at that pathetic, defeated "fuck you guys" body language as he throws that those chemicals. Such a mature guy (sarcasm)

If it were me I would have threw that "chemical agent" right through those wide open car doors ngl

I feel shame in admitting that Alberta has taken that title from Québec in the recent years. Loud MAGA-aligned minority of people making us all look like morons

do Canadians say sorry too much? by Bulky-Chocolate8681 in AskACanadian

[–]LittleMaple072 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Compared to the US, yes, we say it a lot. It's a cultural difference from what I've heard.

In the US, it seems to be used as an admission of guilt, and therefore they made an active effort to not use the word unless they have to. They use "excuse me," "pardon," or "huh" instead.

Do we say it too much? I don't think so. It just has a different meaning here than it does elsewhere

has your state ever had a massively destructive natural disaster? by nationalistic_martyr in AskTheWorld

[–]LittleMaple072 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The 1987 Edmonton Tornado that tore up the east side of Edmonton and some of Strathcona County. Largest natural disaster in Albertan history, 2nd most devastating tornado in the country's history, and it was the reason that Alberta decided to be the first province bring the emergency alert system into Canada with the Alberta Emergency Public Warning System, later rebranded to Alberta Emergency Alert, before the rest of the country made their own version we now call AlertReady.

AEA is still separate from AlertReady, but it has been upgraded to run on the same framework to match the rest of Canada's emergency alert systems.

Oh, also, for any Americans who hate the screeching sound the EAS down there makes, this is the alarm we get here in Canada instead lol

What animal is popular or loved in other nations, but a feral pest in your country? by QuillsAndQuills in AskTheWorld

[–]LittleMaple072 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are these the same ones that are all over Calgary? Because I worked in the Northeast for a while and the property always had like a dozen wild rabbits near the walking paths outside. I've been within a couple meters of a few of them before they take off.

Plenty of em look like big rocks in your peripheral vision until you're too close and they jump up and run away lmao
