Tech’s climate impact is scarier than any super-AI ‘terminator’
Soaring daily temperatures, wildfires in Canada, inexplicably hot ocean currents—our worries around climate change have intensified. There is another fear out there this year, though mixed with frenzied excitement: the worry of whether we have created a Frankenstein’s monster in the quest for artificial intelligence (AI). My fears, however, are not as much about an AI agent becoming more intelligent than us, as two things more fundamental and immediate.

William Watson: An excess profits tax? OK, Mr. Singh, but how about an excess wages tax, too?
NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh says Canada needs an excess profits tax to help reduce inflation. His argument seems to be that if you let grocery chains and others know they won’t profit from raising prices unfairly, they won’t raise prices unfairly. I don’t know. It doesn’t sound like typical corporate-robber-baron behaviour to me. Why won’t they start raising prices on the grounds their taxes are higher?

‘Grey’s Anatomy’ Season 20 on Netflix: All you may want to know about release date and other details
Currently, Grey's Anatomy is only available for streaming on Netflix in two regions: the United States and Canada. Fans eagerly await the arrival of the new season on the streaming platform, but the release date remains uncertain. Historically, Grey's Anatomy has adhered to a strict schedule on ABC, with new seasons premiering in June and subsequently becoming available on Netflix. However, due to the ongoing writer's strike, which began on May 1, 2023, the show is absent from the ABC Fall 2023 schedule. Consequently, the release date for the new season on Netflix is continuously being pushed back. It is now anticipated that the show will make its return in late 2024, although this projection is subject to change. Regarding the show's future on Netflix, the streaming platform currently holds the rights to Grey's Anatomy for its lifetime plus an additional three years. With the 2024 season on the horizon, Netflix will maintain exclusive streaming rights until 2027. If the show is renewed for a 21st season, this timeline will be extended once again. While there is a possibility that Disney, the parent company of ABC, could negotiate with Netflix to bring Grey's Anatomy exclusively to its own streaming platform, no such agreement has been reached thus far. Given Disney's current focus on cost-cutting, it appears unlikely that they will pursue this option at the moment. Additionally, Grey's Anatomy creator Shonda Rhimes has an ongoing partnership with Netflix, working on various projects, such as the expansion of Bridgerton, The Residence, Sunshine Scouts and The Warmth of Other Suns.
