False balance is such a problem and predates LLMs - just ask the UK about how that went during the Brexit debate. We certainly do not need AI ignoring social, economic and scientific research for the sole purpose of “appearing evenhanded”.

The lack of self awareness is real. Like sure babe, we’ll just wait around and suffer economic and social collapse while you get your shit together. You elected that buffoon twice. You’re not bouncing back from this.

Fun fact, Ian and I spend early Septembers dissecting the layout and info that appears in the score bugs. Fascinated by the timeouts here. Skinny hamburger treatment.

The main difference here is all the Biden snd Obama name changes were places 100% within US borders, in this case both bodies of water border other sovereign nations.

It’s a URL parameter region=CA for the Google Maps API, Metrolinx probably doesn’t use it so it defaults to the US regional settings

LOL, I do, he has imagined himself in the opening sequence of Top Gun for nearly 40 years - him walking out onto a stream filled deck as a hero. It is that simple. It’s the opening sequence of his inner screenplay.

Courts need to adapt. Acknowledging this is hard and will take time, but relying on systemic friction to keep people from legitimately seeking justice is a failure - we need a system that is equally accessible to all, and maybe this is how we finally get it.

Dara Renton @drenton.bsky.social · 10/08/2026

I read this one - enforcing legal rights has historically been accessible only to the wealthy. If, post-slop issues, the end result is giving "every worker the equivalent of a top-flight lawyer in their pocket," (as the article notes) that sounds an awful lot like access to justice and not a tragedy

So this is all to say, show your work - show that you can run this at cost and lower expenses without impacting wages. 3/3

But where there isn’t actual competition (like a local hospital, water, long-term care, or electricity), I am deeply skeptical of market-based arguments. If a consumer has no meaningful choice, it isn’t a true market-based option. /2

Dara Renton @drenton.bsky.social · 28/07/2026

I love a non-barbaric social experiment! A side effect could be wage suppression, similar to location-based remote pay. If higher corporate taxes fund a cheaper cost of living, businesses might use a lower cost of living to justify lower wages. Market based competition really is undefeated.
