Thanks for explaining this. It's interesting to see how US politics are affecting Canadian vote shares. Is that a common thing or is it an isolated event given what's going on in the US at the moment?

Thank you for taking the time to explain this to me. It reminds me a lot of UK politics, even the way the parties are aligned and in their vote shares. It looks quite similar to the polls leading up to the labour win in the last election. I'm wishing the best for a good outcome for Canada. Hoping this trend continues and they push populist politics out of the country.

I'm not Canadian, would anyone be willing to explain who these parties are and how the polls are looking, please? I suppose I could look it up but would rather some personal perspectives.

I was there on the day we adopted bananas for scale, and I'm here today on the day we adopt pillows as a means to measure weight.

I'll admit that I don't really understand it and I've been here since the start on various accounts over various instances. I don't want to understand it, either.

I never got on with mastodon, nor really any of the other fediverse other than Lemmy. Simply because I never used their corporate counterparts. I also don't really care about other instances within Lemmy. I hate the politics between them. Though I understand why it exists, it makes this place much less enjoyable due to the hostility.

I'm just here to keep me off Reddit because I'd been there so long that it became hard to walk away. Lemmy feeds that addiction, but it doesn't provide the wealth of information that was readily available on modern Reddit. It feels a lot like old Reddit but with less rage comic and animal advice memes.

The elephant's foot. Worse than any kind of curse, I cast radiation sickness upon you. Good luck finding a spell to counter that.

Wake up

There's a stranger past the door in makeup

They're about to break in, have a shake up

(They're about to break in, have a shake up)

Why'd they leave a package in the mail box?

Tell me that I'm barking at the mailman, I wanted to.

There's a stranger past the door in makeup, I bark at you.

They're about to break in, have a shakeup, I bark at you.

Why'd they leave a package in the mail box? I bark at you.

I don't think you trust

In my paranoid little mind

I bark when strangers deserve to die.

...

Father, across the fence, there's a stranger also.

Father, across the fence..

Why do they endanger me?

In my eyes, they're taunting me

In my thoughts, uncertainty

In my heart, emergency

Oh, trust in my paranoid little mind.

I bark when strangers deserve to die.

In my paranoid little mind.

I bark when strangers deserve to die.

The fact that my dog was agro to the mailman as I was writing this just makes it even better..

Jokes aside I'm not sure what this article brings to the table except for speculation. It doesn't answer the question it poses but to suggest that AI and technology will be a part of their lives. It poses several interesting questions within the body text but doesn't dare to try to answer them. Even one of the people they quoted said it was a futile effort this early into their existence. It is good that the article did attempt to discuss the world that these kids will be born into but it does it in a shallow way. Despite mentioning Canada as the focus of the article it doesn't really talk much about the circumstances they would face in that country. Instead it focuses on making generic statements that could have also fit with an article about alpha, millennials, or even at a push gen z. I hadn't read the article when I made my original post but I think it answers the question just as well as the article does. They will be human, born to an evolving world as many generations before it, whose parents will have to face decisions about their interaction with the world through the internet as have millennial, gen z, and boomer parents before that, whom as all generations before them will have to face the consequences of climate change and the disparity between rich and poor, a generation that will also likely face exploitation and poverty unless they win the genetic lottery. Nothing defines generation beta but an imaginary line drawn in imaginary sand that distinguishes them from those from alpha born a year earlier. And yet this article proposes some distinction due to ai and tech advancements as if this is some new revelation that nobody before them has had to face. It is interesting to consider what will become of our children but this article does nothing to further that, which is a shame.

I'm no doctor nor biologist but I'm pretty sure "it" will look like a human. Not sure why that was in question but I hope I've cleared that up for you.
