Just when I think I can’t hate OpenAI and Sam Altman any more, new details come out about how ChatGPT helped a shooter plan one of the worst mass shootings in Canadian history in Tumbler Ridge, BC. OpenAI made an explicit decision not to report the user to authorities.

OpenAI’s chatbot fed the shooter’s violent fantasies and planning up to the massacre.

"Signs of Fascism" originated in my town. (Sequim, WA) I filmed it. I remember getting a call, "hey your video got 5,000 views." By the end of the day it had 60K. Over 100K in a few days from just one platform. Then my DM blew up! Everyone wanted to replicate the signs. Nice to see the signs today.

I'm hearing some concerns up about implementing "no turn on red" as a default policy in Seattle, so it's worth remembering that allowing turns on red only saves "1-5 seconds" on average for 🚗 drivers, meanwhile it increases 🚶🏼 crashes 60% and 🚴🏾‍♀️ crashes 100%.

I’ve never felt prouder of our city. This is what it looks like when government delivers. Read my full op-ed at www.seattletimes.com/opinion/seattl…

Headline: Seattle, the World Cup brought possibility. Let's build on it.
Image: Children play at Westlake Park in downtown Seattle during the World Cup.
Article written by Katie Wilson, Special to The Seattle Times.

“I fell in love with my city all over again.” I’ve heard this from so many residents. And from visitors: “Seattle surpassed my expectations, it’s been the best stop of our trip.”

"I’ve never felt prouder of our city. And there is much we can learn from this success.
This is what it looks like when government delivers. From transportation to event logistics to public safety, city departments created a seamless experience for visitors, residents and workers alike. I’m grateful to my fellow public servants who worked long hours to pull this off."

"It’s time to discard the notion that Seattle is “dying.” The forces pushing that narrative never wanted Seattle to succeed. This isn’t a call to ignore challenges, but to tackle them with a sense of possibility, because we’ve seen what our city feels like when we pull together."

In 2017, Criselda Vasquez painted this portrait of her parents and titled it "The New American Gothic." Last month, her father, the man in this portrait, was abducted by ICE after being in the US for 30+ years. The family is now struggling with bills. A GoFundMe has been started: gofund.me/456d8a193

The artist's two parents stand proudly in front of the painting.
