This should be a wake up call for every Canadian out there.

At Costco. Based on the amount of carts with multiple cases of water, the cyber threat is real... or it's the best bottled water marketing campaign of all time.

The Liberals’ new MAID, bill C-41, stops the mental health expansion but introduces another expansion, for people who've lost the capacity to consent. I asked the Speaker to split the bill so MPs can vote on these two fundamentally different issues separately.

A death cannot be appealed. In 2021, Parliament rushed MAID for mental illness to meet a court deadline. Now, Ottawa is walking back that mistake—only to repeat the error by trying to slip in advance requests. My latest in the @nationalpost 👇 1/2

Ten years in, MAiD is an ever-present danger to disabled people. Start by repealing Track 2, as the UN disability rights committee has told Canada to do. Flimsy safeguards. Vague legislative language. No enforcement. My debate with Dr. Stefanie Green on CBC’s Sunday Magazine 👇 xitter.cf/rljcoelho/status/21093…

This is a Trojan horse. The Liberals plan to bundle the mental illness exclusion with advance requests for MAiD in one bill. No separate votes. MPs must accept both or reject both. Sneaky politics with irreversible consequences. Shame on the Liberals. Canada, wake up.

"Critics of Canada’s assisted-dying regime are accusing the Liberal government of pairing a prohibition on MAID for mental illness with a controversial expansion allowing advance requests for people who lose decision-making capacity." westernstandard.news/canadia…

Sad but not surprising to see the current government put politics before Canadian lives. This could have passed easily, and been a rare win-win, protecting so many vulnerable. Grateful to the MPs and Canadians who worked so hard and gotso close to a vote on Bill C-218. Keep fighting for life!
Liberals and Conservatives found consensus against expanding MAID to people with mental illness. Instead of supporting Bill C-218, the Liberals are exploiting the deadline to push an unwritten bill that stops this expansion while adding another.

Read @AmandaAchtman's essential newsletter on MAiD, with her take on the government's cynical and crafty response to Bill C-218 and watch this video 👇🏻

May it be so
People who drank more coffee had less body fat, less visceral fat, and more lean mass than less-frequent or non-drinkers. The biggest benefit was seen at 5 or more cups per day. And for men, every extra cup per day was associated with a ~10 ng/dL higher total testosterone. Higher coffee intake was also associated with better glucose and insulin regulation in men. This was an observational study, but mechanistic and experimental evidence actually supports coffee's benefits on metabolic and hormonal health. I'm willing to believe there's a real link here rather than draw a conclusion such as "coffee drinkers live healthier lives in general."

I've thought about Jacob's post a lot. It's really concerning. As an act of defiance, and in lieu of becoming a meat puppet, I am sharing my ChatGPT 80s trend photo to show what AI really should be used for.

I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.
