Why is Open AI training their models on mass shootings and weapons training? (or bio weapons, images of sexualized minors, etc. for that matter) I hope discovery during the lawsuits identifies the training design decisions and the individuals behind them.

Someone needs to ask if these models were trained on mass shooting massacres? (Likewise if they’re trained on explicit and illegal imagery of minors) LLMs statistical inference can’t produce the reported responses without training. Is there criminal liability here?

Watch this video. A brief history of the Guillotine, by Jacob Witzling. It's interesting how similar our time line is to what was happening in France during their Revolution. How close we are on turning our hatred towards the rich. How close we are to, history repeating!

Another spoiler from an upcoming report. Young workers used to move *towards* economic opportunities. But with the housing crisis, they're moving *away* from them, towards less dynamic job markets in search of a home they can afford.

As Canada is learning (the hard way), the "art" of all of Trump's deals can be summed up in a single word: "renege": pluralistic.net/2026/07/22/t... 1/

two days after Vancouver city council voted down their own Villages Plan, west side residents who opposed the plan en masse are complaining that Dunbar (!!) doesn’t have any wine bars, boutiques or gyms — the kind of amenities that require neighbourhood density to support

Hi fellow neighbours. Have you ever wondered why Dunbar has been so slow to develop decent shops and restaurants? Dunbar & King Ed; Dunbar & W 16th; Dunbar & W 41st - all pretty well trafficed intersections yet theres no decent pub, restaurant or wine bar. No boutique shops or decent shopping. There's also no decent gym besides the community centres which are fine but not if you like specialized equipment.
What gives? I've been in Dunbar for over 10 years & more recently moved to Southlands. Before that was in Kits. Kits is vibrant but a different crowd.
Would love to see some better business development in Dunbar / Southlands & area.
Closest thing is Kerrisdale - concentrated to a few blocks, still only one decent wine bar - not much selection.

The Vancouver Villages plan was defeated. This is a huge blow to housing policy in the city. This was the easiest part of the Vancouver Plan to implement; Ken Sim directed staff to prioritize it. If we can't pass this, what's the point of any of it? All housing policy work here is in limbo.

The Villages Plan is not that controversial & Council should approve all 17 villages. There was not that much opposition considering most complaints were poorly founded & the result of NIMBY fear-mongering. For comparison, consider 1805 Larch, ONE 5-storey apartment building.

Apartment at 2nd and Larch, 1805 Larch Street

Vancouver's Villages Plan is a real, meaningful step in the right direction: legalizing small low, low-rise apartments on off-arterial streets. "It's not fair that some neighbourhoods have to shoulder all the regional growth, while some get to live in Never Neverland." youtu.be/MJk0dxF01Wg?...
