This looks an awful lot like Schumer just forced the clerks to work all night on a weekend for a performative protest he couldn't even be bothered to attend.

Yeah, except Hinton's concerns aren't about "AI ethics" as much as they're about "AI safety". Less "hey is this perpetuating bias and filling the world with bullshit" and more "hey is this the singularity".

Me watching Evangelion the first time: "cool, giant robots and monsters!"
The second time: "wait, why can the robots only be piloted by 14-year olds with severe emotional issues?"

Your occasional reminder that Monterrey to Mountain View is a 90 minute drive but Zuckerberg apparently doesn't want to drive to where his jet is parked.

"You're spending too much money on giraffes."
"What? I don't own any giraffes."
"My sincere apologies. You're right. You had a balance of $34.209 last month and spent -$100343243.3888 on giraffes, leaving you with only $99999999999 in your account.
"...what?"

It was Ontario residents (specifically, Mennonites) refusing vaccinations for "religious" reasons. That's why the measles outbreaks in Ontario started around Waterloo.
Not immigrants. White, Christian, Ontario residents who've been here for centuries. Your prejudices have led you astray.
