Even assuming the child was old enough for the first dose ("under five" could mean a newborn), they may have had a valid medical exemption. There isn't enough detail (in the article, or in the report it references) to say for certain. I admit that the probability is low.
The part that's being ignored is that it's a problem, not the existence of the hallucinations themselves. Currently a lot of enthusiasts are just brushing it off with the equivalent of boys will be boys AIs will be AIs, which is fine until an AI, say, gets someone jailed by providing garbage caselaw citations.
And, um, you're greatly overestimating what someone like my technophobic mother knows about AI ( xkcd 2501: Average Familiarity seems apropos). There are a lot of people out there who never get into a conversation about LLMs.
I prefer carrying the plastic over carrying a tracking deivce everywhere with me. Then again, I'm one of those weirdos that also still carries cash.
(Note that I'm not saying you should ditch your phone—your priorities are doubtless different from mine—just that for me the tradeoff is not acceptable.)
Skimming the actual article tells me that Acadia and Saint Mary's (the two universities at issue) either have some unusual financial problems or are using their money irresponsibly. Other universities in the province, ranging from Dalhousie (the largest, I believe) to St. Francis Xavier (which is pretty tiny) are not expecting any financial issues of significance, so this is not a general problem with university funding in Nova Scotia, it's a problem with these two institutions.
Companies should be sued for false advertising if they claim that their streaming service allows you to "buy" or "own" anything (unless their service includes non-DRM downloads for permanent offline storage). All you're buying is temporary use of their rental network and library. Which is fine if that's what you wanted and knew you were getting, but a problem if you were expecting something else.
There are certainly overpriced vacant homes in the more expensive metropolitan areas (coughcondoscoughTorontocough), but I doubt there are enough of them to make a visible dent in the housing issue.
Not centuries. It's more like they want to live inside a sitcom from the mid-20th century, where everyone is white and middle-class and living in a "traditional" male-led nuclear family that occupies a house in the suburbs, and pollution and its ilk aren't even worthy of mention.
