Recently, my story, titled “AI Is a False God,” appeared on the cover of The Walrus. It was the type of piece that could have found a home only in The Walrus. As Canadian media continues to face some of the most serious challenges in recent decades, venues for thoughtful, well-researched long-form writing have all but disappeared.
As public discourse is often short-circuited and distorted by the incentives of social media, the need for smart, informed media is clearer than ever. That’s why supporting independent media is so important. A donation to The Walrus ensures that thewalrus.ca can continue to be a freely accessible place that Canadians can turn to in order to make sense of fraught moments—one that offers stories like mine which dig deeper to provide the context and complexity so often missing from contemporary discussions.
