People using mobile phones are always being tracked. Which means they are constantly being hunted and don't at all know who is hunting them. Which means they are prey. Don't waste time hiding or running, your phone is designed to tell all the hunters what you are doing, when you are doing it, where you are doing it and even who you are with. With AI it will be deciding why you are doing all you are doing. It may not get it right. AI will do as people ask it, but it won't understand what you meant, just what it assumed. Like a genie in the magic lamp, it will take you at your word, literally.

Andrew Chang on CBC explained the problems with AI very well.

• She her disappear
• to man made stereotypes
• Identity gone

There is an ad for an insurance company, here in Canada. I see it almost everyday, if I have the TV on. The ad shows a cartoon drawing of a family: man, something and child. There is no definite woman. But the man is certainly a male. The child is certainly a child. What could have been the woman, possibly the Mother, is ambiguous in order to be either gender, gender neutral, faceless, token, either/or.

The child is just a child, smaller but more boy looking than anything to make it seem like a girl. The man is not neutral - it/he is taller, muscular, physically a male for sure with facial hair to make it clear. The other is less tall, short hair, sexless clothing, no facial hair, no breasts, no figure, no gender.

Every time I see that ad I feel women are being lost, replaced, forgotten, pushed aside. I am sad but too weary of the fight to feel angry - most of the time. What will the world do when there are no human women/ females? Will they go after female animals next? Does that seem so far fetched?

This whole thing seems like something out of science fiction to me. After all the years to fight for rights - now to be denied even an identity. Didn't see that one coming. It still seems like extreme fiction but... its happening every day.

When there are no women, men and children will die, age out and disappear. Are women becoming a rare species? Or just nothing at all. Something found in an encyclopedia or history. Its very discouraging from my view as a woman, born female, still female. In England you can choose to be identified as a biological woman, but not as a woman. Woman is gender free, gender misplaced.

I'll tell you a story, once upon a time there was man, woman and child. That's where the story ends.

I have heard about the lakes. I didn't know about the coastlines, but it makes sense along with being the second largest country with the most lakes in the world. I think I have read we have the most fresh water too, or fresh water lakes. As water becomes more important as a natural resource, Canada has a lot going for it. I hope we keep our water clean, unpolluted.

In movies about dire futures I never see Canada as a destination for people to escape/ run to. Of course, most of the apocalypse/ dire future movies and TV shows are based in the US and working with the theory that the US saves the world. The reality is likely to be very different.

Canada’s Endless Coasts

Canada has—by far—the longest coastline of any country in the world. Canada is a massive country by overall area in general, coming in second only to Russia in terms of square mileage (or square kilometers, as it were, in the Canadian measurement system). So it makes sense that Canada has a ton of coastline. And because Canada is made up of so many islands, both large and small, in its far northern territories, that amount of coastline rises nearly exponentially while counting all those shores.

The actual numbers are staggering. Canada has 151,000 miles (243,042 kilometers) of coastline. And the next closest countries on the list aren’t even in Canada’s league! That’d be Indonesia (33,554 miles or 54,000 kilometers of coastline), Russia (nearly 23,612 miles or 38,000 kilometers), the United States (just under 12,430 miles or 20,000 kilometers), and China (almost 9,325 miles or 15,000 kilometers). Canada wins!

Canada wins in another way, too: the most lakes in the world. As if saltwater and access to oceans and seas weren’t enough for the Canadians, they also have more freshwater within their nation’s boundaries than any other country on Earth.

In total, Canada has 879,800 lakes all throughout its land. Not only is that the most lakes on earth, it’s actually more lakes than all other countries in the world COMBINED! When you account for the entire globe, Canada holds more than 60% of the world’s 1.4 million lakes. Russia is second on the lake list—if you’re curious—but they are nowhere close to Canada.

We are creating intelligent technology while having people become very reliant on it. Sounds like a robot army to me.
