No More Gods. The Case to Ban Artificial Superintelligence | The Tyee (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Uncontrollable. Unpredictable. Unexplainable. That’s why Roman Yampolskiy believes the creation of self-improving, super-advanced artificial-intelligent agents poses an existential threat to humanity. Once the corporate labs have constructed a machine smarter than humans — a god-like entity — there is no way in hell humans will be able to control it, says, Yampolskiy, a prominent computer scientist. If we understand and accept that Dr. Frankenstein couldn’t control a monster of limited intellige
For Wendell Berry, My North Star | The Tyee (opens the original)
Read excerpt
“Stay away from anything that obscures the place it is in. There are no unsacred places; there are only sacred places and desecrated places.” — Wendell Berry We sat on his porch by the Kentucky river, and I can still hear to this day his voice. Resonant.

No slick video can now make up for past rushed legislation, lack of public

Read excerpt
Few issues provide a clearer window on Alberta’s top-down politics than coal mining. The latest chapter in a long saga sheds more light on Premier Danielle Smith’s pretend support for bottom-up democracy like citizen-initiated referendums. Indeed, the way Smith works to centralize political authority in a petrostate offers similarities to how Vladimir Putin governs. The Russians call it “the vertical of power.” Let’s begin with the Water Not Coal referendum petition drive led by country music si
Calling Carney’s Carbon Capture Bluff | The Tyee (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Earlier this month Prime Minister Mark Carney, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith and five largely U.S.-owned oilsands companies proclaimed a leap forward in “carbon management.” The three parties signed a memorandum of understanding assuring more bitumen production and more oil exports could somehow result in reduced carbon dioxide emissions. The premise rests on a technology known as carbon capture, utilization and storage, or CCUS. The leaders announced that a $16-billion CCUS project, the world’
