PM Mark Carney has described developing fossil fuel infrastructure as “pragmatic.”
But it’s unclear how a country grappling with abysmal air quality due to wildfires fuelled by global warming will benefit from further fossil fuel development. Deborah de Lange writes.

The image shows a small black dog lying on a wooden floor. The dog has a fluffy coat with some white markings on its paws and face. It is positioned in the center of the image, looking directly at the camera with a relaxed posture. The dog's ears are floppy, and its eyes are dark and expressive. The wooden floor has a warm, light brown color with visible wood grain patterns. To the left of the dog, there is a black backpack with a red logo, and a black and white patterned rug is partially visible in the top left corner. The lighting in the room is warm, casting a soft shadow of the dog on the floor.

The image depicts a robotic figure with a detailed mechanical head and upper body. The head is predominantly purple with visible mechanical components, including gears and tubes, and features a mask-like structure with a circular eye and a mouthpiece. The robot's face has a human-like appearance, with visible wrinkles and a sense of age. The body is clad in a red garment with purple accents, and the figure stands against a blue, stone-like background with architectural details. The overall style is reminiscent of steampunk aesthetics, with a blend of organic and mechanical elements.

The image is a black and white photograph of four young men standing in front of a brick building. They are dressed in formal attire, including suits and overcoats, with ties and boots. The men are arranged in a line, with two on the left and two on the right, and they are all looking directly at the camera. The background shows a building with multiple windows, and the ground appears to be gravel. The image has a caption at the top that reads, "Picture of the Beatles before they got really big."

The image shows a display of potted plants at a nursery. In the foreground, there is a pack of "Curled Parsley" plants from Bonnie Plants, priced at $12.98 per pot. The label on the pack is pink with green and black text, and it includes a picture of the parsley plant and a bowl of salad. The label also mentions that the plant is highly decorative, suitable for both garden and garnishing, and has a fresh taste for salads and seasoning. It is labeled as "Non-GMO" and "Part Shade." The pack contains three pots, and the plants appear to be healthy with vibrant green leaves. In the background, there are other potted plants, some of which are visible on a metal shelf. The setting appears to be a greenhouse or nursery, with a green wall and soil visible on the ground.

"To any observer who knows the first thing about the bikes in question — or bikes in general — anything on these AI-generated YouTube channels is clear garbage with no bearing on reality. But Google, the company once known for finding accurate results as fast as possible, now relies on an AI that has no concept of "truth" — just repeating words it sees used in proximity to each other, like your phone keyboard's autocomplete or a particularly dumb parrot. As this AI tech improves in its ability to mimic reality, while still remaining fundamentally incapable of differentiating fact from fiction, channels like Bike Culture Hub will only get more convincing. Our human ability to locate facts online will be compromised, and "people at dealerships asking for features that don't exist" is about the best possible outcome. It could get far worse from there."
