“The fuck you lookin’ at?” “Nothing.” “Yeah, that’s what I thought.”

Happy day

This strikes me as such an easy win for the federal Libs. Stop Ford in his tracks while his support is softening. Make him really wear this if he tries to proceed. Nail down your Fortress Toronto support. Detach themselves a little from Ford Nation. Am I missing some strategic thing here?

Without comment on the underlying allegations: there's a bit of an...asymmetry to the choice of investigation targets. I guess not everyone gets to make the OPP report to them directly.

This is one reason I've always doubted that "this is the worst the models will ever be" is entirely true. The models will follow the incentives of the users, and the users are ..... To the extent that enshittification actually exists, following what the median user wants is usually the mechanism.

Just over twenty eight years ago, on #EarthDay, Apr 22 1998, the #HockeyStick reconstruction of temperatures was born (www.nature.com/articles/33859). Here's an interview I did on CBS EveningNews with John Roberts (anchor Dan Rather): www.youtube.com/watch?v=8aVU... 🧵

I’m sorry but “everyone is going to use AI to code their own apps” sounds like “everyone is going to learn HTML and code their own websites.“ like … have you met people? no they’re not

I am not worried software is suddenly going to decide it wants power over humanity. I am worried about what people who already have power over humanity can do with that software.
