Oh, Regina, you won't believe what someone did!
### Seriously, Who Does This?
Okay, so I was doing my morning scroll, sipping my coffee, eh, and then I saw this — the RM of Sherwood office, out there on the edge of the city where the prairies really open up, got hit with graffiti. But it wasn't just any old tag. Someone, or someones, spray-painted an *anti-AI message* across the front doors. Yeah, you heard me right. Anti-AI. This happened right after the RM council had a big vote about a new data centre, so you can kinda connect the dots there, eh? It’s not every day you see political protest through spray paint on the side of a municipal building, let alone about artificial intelligence. You expect that kinda thing in the Cathedral or Warehouse District, where there's always something going on, but out in Sherwood? That’s something else.
It just goes to show you, eh? Even in Regina, where we're usually just talking about the Riders' draft picks or whether the Pats are gonna make it all the way, these big, global conversations about AI and technology are hitting home. It's not just some abstract thing happening on the news; it’s right here, making people feel strongly enough to grab a can of spray paint. You know, we're a city that prides itself on being honest and direct, and I guess this is just another example of someone expressing themselves, albeit not in the most, shall we say, *approved* way. It's kinda wild, because while Saskatoon is hosting AI expos, someone here is out there saying "hold on a minute."
### What This Means for Regina
* **Local Impact of Global Tech:** This incident really highlights how major tech debates are landing right in our backyard, from Wascana Centre to the Co-op Refinery. It's not just big cities grappling with these things. * **Community Dialogue:** This might spark more conversation around the dinner tables on Albert Street or at Bushwakker about what AI means for our future, especially with the data centre decision. * **Unexpected Activism:** It's a reminder that even in a city where the wind usually dominates the headlines, people are passionate about what happens in their community.
This is Regina — yeah, we know what it sounds like, and we've heard your joke. Now sit down and listen.
You know, the folks on the morning show dive into all this and more. Catch them live at mornings.live, eh?
