Crazy that this is her unironic position.

All the posturing from councilmembers on the budget is funny because they literally can just change it. It's funny but also sad. They're just doing it for political brownie points.

AP Stylebook warns against anthropomorphizing AI systems: “Avoid language that gives them human characteristics… Instead, explain what a system does, how well it performs, who built it and who could be affected by it.”

Artificial intelligence systems do not think, feel, want or understand. Avoid language that gives them human characteristics. This is called anthropomorphizing, when we ascribe human traits, emotions or behaviors to non-human things, such as animals or inanimate objects.
Instead, explain what a system does, how well it performs, who built it and who could be affected by it.

If you need to work with AI you must fight daily to ensure you don't accidentally microwave your brain.

Guy who made the CivicTide website seems to have had his brain microwaved by AI. Won't be surprised if during this budget season we get clips of people quoting the site and saying some wacky stuff.

This is why they pushed it through before the election. They knew Harrell could lose and wanted to put themselves in the best position under a more favorable mayor.

It's just so telling the state of driver behavior in Seattle where this this bridge has a dislodged Toronto barrier seemingly once a month or every other month. These things are 1,680 pounds each!

I was just sad reading the article. NHJ clearly tried hard to make a difference for her daughter in those schools but it seemingly didn't matter. The only thing that did was moving her daughter to a better school. I think that says seemingly bleak things for individual families.

Growing SPD to match Denver, SF, or Boston's officer numbers would grow SPD's budget to be anywhere from 31-39% of the bugdet (from 24%). Considering the budget deficit this would mean that the rest of the budget would need to shrink anywhere from 15-24%. Nearly a 25% cut is insane!

The AIs are still dumb sometimes

GPT-6 Astra High conversation asking to implement a upload badge on photos to be uploaded. AI implements badge for all photos, even photos that have been uploaded already. I point out that this is dumb.

Oh I just sent my Astra agent off to fix a whole bunch of bugs while I'm at PAX. Are you telling me it's going to roll my house into a ball before I get back?

If Wilson had this kind of history the Seattle Times would be shouting this from the heavens. Kang shares ideology with the opinion board though so they don't care.

Note that the country is so safe that fights have to land in Cap-Haïtien rather than the capital because gangs control the main airport and shoot at planes.

Is there a local news outlet that has gotten better on the ground coverage of the new bus lane than this? Put a TV crew on a 8 bus, ask Metro if drivers on the route feel like it's faster It seems like all they want to cover is theoretical complaints from car drivers.

Sanders Lauture @golf1052.com · 25/08/2026

Yeah Stuart Sloan directly reaching out to the old mayor trying to get the queer beach shutdown and the mayor entertaining the idea is definitely up there.

Or if he didn't delay the comp plan by over 6 months

Sanders Lauture @golf1052.com · 15/08/2026

Yeah it's actually insane. Harrell kept Diaz on for months longer than he should have stayed in the position because "he wanted to stand by him" and then Diaz sued the city anyway. Meanwhile Wilson relatively quickly got Barnes out after a fuckup with no suit.

I do wonder if the AI code maximalists inspect the code frontier models produce. I literally use Opus 5 and Sol 5.6, all day, every day, at work and it still produces incorrect things sometimes. Letting incorrect info into a repo quickly becomes garbage in -> garbage out for future code.

Basically, if AGI is possible, I don't think we're going to get it by throwing as much compute as possible at LLMs.

010

Sanders Lauture @golf1052.com · 10/08/2026

It would be ironic if in the quest for artificial general intelligence, instead of AIs maximizing "paperclips", it was select humans devoting as much energy and money as possible into the goal of AGI only to still never reach the goal.

And he still sued the city anyway!

Sanders Lauture @golf1052.com · 01/08/2026

While this sounds like a lot the city settled with a different officer who sued for $950k and former Chief Diaz's suit hasn't been resolved yet. $700k for a police chief to go away with no lawsuit is cheap relatively speaking.

ROUTE 8 and DENNY WAY: starting on Saturday, buses and cars merging onto Interstate 5 won’t compete for the same lane of Denny Way. To keep traffic flowing, people driving to I-5 south from eastbound Denny Way will turn right on Boren Ave and left on Howell St instead of using Yale Ave.

A Route 8 bus stuck in general traffic along Denny Way.

A map showing changes to Denny Way. The route for cars is shown: drivers access I-5 by turning onto Boren Ave and then Howard St.
