    I’ve signed more petitions in the past 3 years and gone to more protests than I have in my entire life. (Including opposing these bills).

    Shitty Conservative opposition is signing off on this bill and NDP voters largely abandoned the NDP to vote in this fucking nightmare gov.

    I legit don’t know what to do.

    With AI agents able to decompile PS5 games and have them run natively on PC, what do they think AI is gonna be able to do to these backdoors or infer from your meta data?

    We’re weakening cyber security across the country for everyone and places like China and the US will love that with their mass data center rollout.

    How I see it anyway. AI and self hosted AI is just getting better by the day for cyber security things. Encryption is one of the only things we got to hold the rogue agents at bay.
