This is bad for Canada. Broadening access to gambling isn't progress. Our tech industry should aspire to more.

The creator of Linux just publicly called out the AI hype. Word for word. Linus Torvalds took the stage at Open Source Summit 2026 and said this: "When I see people saying 99% of our code is written by AI, I literally get angry. Because those same people — I can pretty much guarantee — 100% of their code is written by compilers. But they never say that." He is not anti AI. The Linux kernel saw a 20% jump in submissions this release because of AI tools. He uses it. He gets it. His point is something most people are too afraid to say. AI is a productivity tool exactly like compilers were. Compilers boosted programming by 1000x. AI adds another 10x on top. Enormous. But nobody says "the compiler wrote my code." So why are we saying AI wrote it? He also flagged something nobody is talking about. AI is flooding small open source projects with drive-by bug reports. Someone runs a prompt, files a report and disappears when asked for a patch. Maintainers with one or two people are drowning trying to keep up. "Sometimes AI reports a bug and when you ask for more information the person has done that drive-by and does not even answer your question. That is the real burnout issue." And his final warning was the sharpest of all. "People who do not understand the complexity of systems will prompt systems and write processes that will fail." The AI hype crowd is very loud right now. Linus has been building real systems for 35 years. When he talks, engineers listen. Full interview here: thenewstack.io/torvalds-ai-pr…

Friendly reminder that Microsoft has ~80 products or tools with the name “Copilot”. Tey Bannerman counted them up: “there are now Copilots inside Copilots, Copilots for other Copilots, and a physical Copilot key on your keyboard for summoning them.”

Moments ago: Premier Ford won’t commit to paying taxpayers back the $200K spent on private jet fees, calling the controversy an “old story.” He says he’s already saved taxpayers “millions of dollars” by flying commercial over the years & only charters flights “when needed.”

Make a note of the people who chomp at the bit to justify their hatred with a tragedy like this. They should be shedding tears not licking their lips.

🚨🚨🚨 I’ve confirmed with sources on the ground in Tumbler Ridge that this is NOT the suspect in today’s massacre. Please spread the word, as many people have shared their photo claiming they’re the shooter.

Incredibly detailed new analysis from the New York Times shows ICE agent Jonathan Ross was NOT hit by Renee. He: -Walked past the car -Leaned in -Shot her while to the side of the vehicle He escalated. He created the jeopardy. She tried to flee. He WASN'T attacked.

The NYT has a new video analysis of Renee Good's shooting which is careful, accurate, and clear - he walked across the path of a moving car, then leaned in and shot her with his feet well clear of the vehicle. 1/ nytimes.com/2026/01/15/vid…
