can’t think of a better example of AI being mostly a solution to a problem that doesn’t exist also it can’t help when this is your user base

this is about me and i'm not sorry! i don't have time
to autistically read forums and random team news
or whatever.
i'm sure spending hours and hours running your
fantasy team is a good ROI if you're unemployed but
some of us have jobs
also my team is stacked so that's another point in
the Al column

I just want a candidate that will raise property taxes by 20% on 2026 assessments.

At a minimum we need some kind of equal time rule where every NIMBY quote from an affluent older homeowner is balanced by a quote from a 29 year old with brutal housing options being forced to consider a super commute to afford a place with a second bedroom

That dialect quiz is a great example of something that might be interesting to learn about yourself but is not very interesting to learn about other people.

Many said that we had to cut immigration so governments could "catch up" on housing. I tried to explain, based on my experience in housing advocacy, why I thought that was unlikely. Immigrants were just a scapegoat for governments who didn't prioritize new homes. I wish that I had been proven wrong.

It feels like all of Bluesky was at Christie Pits last night, including myself.

They say to never meet your heroes, but I met @gabeblanc.bsky.social tonight and it was a quality evening. He did say that Bluesky doesn’t have the juice, though, and I guess he’s right. There’s a lot you can’t control in life, but you can improve Toronto by voting for Gabe as ward 11 councillor.

It took 72 hours from Global reporting on this for a cabinet minister to become a backbencher. Journalism matters.

Great evening at Christie Pits last night. No infidels in sight, to the delight of @northernnerd.bsky.social.

This is me going down to Evan Solomon's office at 409 Parliament Street to ask why his office doesn't respond to emails or phone calls.

from the simpsons: some bogan is angry over being scammed by bart simpson so his neighbour takes him to yell at their member of parliament named andy, who is tubing naked in a pond

“So the moral here is that SpaceX is essentially all about hype. It is, in effect, a $2.75 trillion meme stock. The only winners will be those who got in early, stoked a market frenzy, and exit before the bottom inevitably falls out.”

@wilnerness.bsky.social I enjoyed listening to this week’s podcast on my run this morning, Mike. The guests were great, but I really wanted to thank you for your elbows-up approach to traveling across the border.

Broken record here, but so many of these uses start with “how can we get people to use a chatbot” rather than “how do we solve a problem” or “how do we fill a need.” The “problem” according to the companies is that people aren’t using chatbots enough.

The new chatbot, called Ask DoorDash, allows users to search the app for what they're looking for in their own words instead of having to scroll through restaurants and stores to build a cart.

I feel this so acutely about AI. Everyone loves doing it to others, but no one actually wants it done to them, ie deal with a chatbot or watch a movie made by AI.

As an experiment I'm letting the paid tier of Gemini assist me in running my fantasy baseball team this year and based on my experience with this so far, the idea that LLMs are ready to take anyone's job is insane.

Parking somewhere you shouldn’t - bike lane, side walk, “No parking” - is at worst a $75 fine. Not paying for a $3.50 transit fare on the other hand…
