Now ask Trump:

“Quantum computing — it’s the future, folks. Very, very powerful. It’s like regular computers, but much faster — tremendously faster. We’re talking about things that spin and don’t spin at the same time. Spinning. Spinning. Such spinning as you've never seen. The best spinning and we own all the spinning. Nobody really understands it, but our scientists — the best — they’re working on it. China’s trying to catch up, but we’re going to lead in quantum like we led in everything else. Believe me.”

As I hate Justin Trudeau for his political position and what it did back when he was PM, this was a master stroke. President, PM and what not should be at least a little knowledgeable if we want them to make policies about it. Now we have a bunch wanker banker pocket fill with big tech money spuing shit about AI not understanding a words of what they are saying make policies that knowledgeable people see only at little bit more into the ~~police~~ facist state

Maybe Justin wasn’t so bad then?

Turns out most humans are complex and have good and bad sides.

Justin still authorized the RCMP to deploy against BC First Nations for the profit of logging companies, still deployed special force to Haiti and a bunch of African countries to secure extracting rights for the Miner Companies. Don’t get me wrong he was a left leaning Federal Liberal but still a Liberal. If someone had pitch him a sure way to use quantum computing (developed by Canadian universities) to implement facial recognition on a grand scale he would have done it

I guess power seeking politicians should have decent understanding of quantium physics, as their answers to politically sensitive questions tend to be in the quantium superposition.

We had some peace and quiet after he resigned and mere days after PP is re-elected, we have to see this shit again?

[-] AstralPath@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 day ago

Re-elected, while being the truest statement, doesn't give the full picture.

Pierre Poilievre (PP) was defeated in his riding of Carleton (in Ottawa, Ontario) and another MP from his party, Damien Kurek, offered to step down from his position as MP in a riding in Alberta so that PP could run.

The only opposition was an independent candidate, Bonnie Critchley.

He didn't exactly win anything in my opinion. He simply waltzed into a position a bootlicker gave up for him and abandoned the supporters in his riding to further his political career.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
