How are you feeling, Toronto?

Anthropic is being ridiculous. They thought that by giving a "free" sample of Fable 5 to users they will be happy in paying them extra for access, but it clearly looks that "nah, we'll stick to Opus 4.8 that we're already paying for".

Democrat Rep. Rashida Tlaib: “The political structures that we are surrounded by were built on slavery and genocide and oppression. Look at this room, motherf******. We aren’t going anywhere. Now we’re in Congress and every corner of the United States.”

I was playing around with some demographic data this weekend and increasingly think one of the biggest socio-political developments in Canada is the outmigration of families with children from Toronto. The largest groups leaving the GTA are adults in their late 20s and 30s and their young children. In the most recent data, children under 5 were among the biggest cohorts of net out-migrants. Adults aged 25-39 were right there with them. Toronto is the country’s cultural, economic, and political capital. A city that exports parents and children while importing immigrants, students and young professionals will inevitably develop different preferences and sensibilities. I used to think a lot about the urban-rural divide. But the more interesting one over the next decade may be between places that retain families and places that lose them.
