Hey, thank you for reading!
I think you’ll agree this story was powerful.

Before you go, did you know that The Walrus is a registered charity? We rely on donations and support from readers like you to keep our journalism independent and freely available online.

When you donate to The Walrus, you’re helping writers, editors, and artists produce stories like the ones you’ve just read. Every story is meticulously researched, written, and edited, before undergoing a rigorous fact-checking process. These stories take time, but they’re worth the effort, because you leave our site better informed about Canada and its people.

If you’d like to ensure we continue creating stories that matter to you, with a level of accuracy you can trust, please consider becoming a supporter of The Walrus. I know it’s tough out there with inflation and rising costs, but good journalism affects us as well, so I don’t ask this lightly.

Will you join us in keeping independent journalism free and available to all?

Enjoying The Walrus?
Thoughtful writing like this has a home because of readers like you.

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.
