Had a great conversation with CBC’s Day 6 about the rise of Physical AI.
Look out for another discussion on this very topic and the future of the trades on my CBC Radio column later this week! cbc.ca/listen/live-radio/1-1…

MIT Technology Review has confirmed that posts on Moltbook were fake.
Just a few days ago many AI influencers (including Andrej Karpathy) had said that the website was "the most incredible sci-fi takeoff".
It wasn't.
The "taking over humanity" posts were human-generated. The top downloads were mal-ware (human generated).
It was a phishing website dressed up in AI hype.
If you are worried about AI taking over the world in a few years, please don't. There is no research basis for that opinion.
Antrophic and OpenAI want you to beleive that they are just months away from AGI. Because it results in free marketing, boosting their stock value.
Stay skeptical, stay safe :)
Just found a phone at The Well @thewell_to and handed it into security like the responsible adult I pretend to be at all times. Hope you find your phone (and card hidden in the back pocket) pink phone owner.

As another school year is ending... youth unemployment is up and automation is erasing some entry-level jobs that once helped young people start their careers. Tech columnist @takarasmall explains what's happening. cbc.ca/listen/live-radio/1-8…
Yes...my BBC segment with @MattChorley kicked off with a moose call.
Why? Because if you're going to talk Canadian democracy, might as well go full north. 🇨🇦🦌 Full video is online, but here's a snippet of our chat #DemocracyWithAntlers
Feeling like the top tech geek 👑 in the country—and the biz—because our show was just named best tech series!
Thanks for tuning in and making this possible. Who knew all those late-night interviews (and caffeine runs) would pay off?!

Thank you to everyone who listened, @CanPodAwards and @ciranews
Canada is shutting down TikTok’s offices over security concerns. I talked to creators and business owners who worry about an outright ban and why this is yet another sign that the creator economy is becoming less lucrative. More @bbcworldservice.

Get ready for a different type of show today on @CBC
To celebrate #Halloween I’ll be diving into real spine-chilling technology that’s spookier than any ghost story.
I’ll dish on the food stores adopting digital surge pricing, A.I. that can predict your death and more.
Alexa, please play ‘Obsessed’ by Mariah Carey 💅🏿
But, in all seriousness, thank you for listening to @CBCRadioCanada @CBCNews
It, like, means a lot to us.
‘Buy dumb, but act smart’
My personal mantra when it comes to tech after watching, reading and writing about cyber attacks.

This season (with help from some friends) I investigate the ways foreign governments, mercenaries for hire and our outdated laws are wreaking havoc on our country.
