ER doctors are on side: some 650 of them signed a petition to stop Ford from removing bike lanes, saying - as we do in every protest - "bike lanes save lives." You'd think this would be a simple thing. What a ridiculous culture war our premier has created. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

So much respect for this, and the framing. ABC, the right wing version of Progress Toronto, has used health care workers/hospitals as reason to rip them out. This puts a lie to that (and on University ambulances can bypass cars in the wide bikelanes if needed). So many lies.

"The TTC has said the busway ... was completed early and under budget." Let's hype that as much as we hype delays and over-budget projects. This is the kind of competence in transit projects we're looking for. www.thestar.com/news/gta/a-f...

Here’s a first look at the Scarborough busway. For residents, it follows years of sluggish commutes

The new Scarborough busway will open this week and will run from Kennedy Station to Scarborough Centre, three years after the Scarborough RT was decommissioned.

Mathematicians and biologists used ChatGPT and Claude for their work only for those companies to later claim AI had discovered solutions to unsolved problems similar to their work. The concern that frontier labs will use your data to compete with you is sounding more like fact than fiction.

Fresh on the heels of similar complaints about OpenAI from mathematicians, a biologist says Anthropic’s Claude “discovered” the same system his team has spent years researching while sharing their unpublished work with Claude. It’s no longer just publishers & artists accusing AI labs of plagiarism.

So much of schools "responding to rape" is preventing the legal system from doing so. This is a report on seven adults who committed serious felonies for which there is a legal system to remind them and their pals that they are felonies.

The Anthropic, Meta, and Google "breaking containment" incidents all resulted from setup errors (or a stunt) by the same company: Irregular. Irregular created a sandbox that wasn't really a sandbox because it had a live internet connection, and gave instructions that were then carried out online.

To be clear, any mayor or city council can do their own version of this in their city. The differentiator is will, or excuse. If they’re not, it’s because they’re choosing not to, either because they’ve wrongly convinced themselves they can’t, or because they don’t want to badly enough (or at all).
