Millennials are the elite generation because they cranked out 12-page essays the night before they were due. No ChatGPT. No Claude. Just lo-fi beats playing in the background, Black coffee at midnight, footnotes that were somehow correct, and pure delusion. Grade was an A minus. Period.

@GRoditiD I like repairing things. There's plenty around the house and I can surf local classifieds for broken things. Deeper long lasting dopamine hit compared to being on your phone or buying new things.

Tell me your proper dream car… the weird, hyper-niche one. Not ‘Bugatti Veyron’. Something real. Something you. I’ll start, Bornite 2.3 Sportline 190E for me.

@telefontelaviv I am not pro AI. But I felt while reading this tweet that maybe you were being a bit too reactive. Until I then listened to what the man said and now I fear you weren’t harsh enough.

@Heaney555 I think all this is beginning to suggest is that slop might get GOOD. It doesn’t begin to convince me that it will be able to turn heads until there is something we can connect to, things like narrative. Our bar is high for this stuff!

A lot of people's worldview will be broken by the inevitability that "slop" turns out to just be a short-lived limitation of early models, not inherent to generative AI as a technology.

How to solve housing without messing with people’s homes: 10 home max for any entity. You have one year from law passing to sell. At that point govt seizes extra properties, sells. You get $ minus admin Every 2 years the number ticks down, until 3 homes is the max. Thoughts?

A number of people are talking about implications of AI to schools. I spoke about some of my thoughts to a school board earlier, some highlights: 1. You will never be able to detect the use of AI in homework. Full stop. All "detectors" of AI imo don't really work, can be defeated in various ways, and are in principle doomed to fail. You have to assume that any work done outside classroom has used AI. 2. Therefore, the majority of grading has to shift to in-class work (instead of at-home assignments), in settings where teachers can physically monitor students. The students remain motivated to learn how to solve problems without AI because they know they will be evaluated without it in class later. 3. We want students to be able to use AI, it is here to stay and it is extremely powerful, but we also don't want students to be naked in the world without it. Using the calculator as an example of a historically disruptive technology, school teaches you how to do all the basic math & arithmetic so that you can in principle do it by hand, even if calculators are pervasive and greatly speed up work in practical settings. In addition, you understand what it's doing for you, so should it give you a wrong answer (e.g. you mistyped "prompt"), you should be able to notice it, gut check it, verify it in some other way, etc. The verification ability is especially important in the case of AI, which is presently a lot more fallible in a great variety of ways compared to calculators. 4. A lot of the evaluation settings remain at teacher's discretion and involve a creative design space of no tools, cheatsheets, open book, provided AI responses, direct internet/AI access, etc. TLDR the goal is that the students are proficient in the use of AI, but can also exist without it, and imo the only way to get there is to flip classes around and move the majority of testing to in class settings.

Gemini Nano Banana Pro can solve exam questions *in* the exam page image. With doodles, diagrams, all that. ChatGPT thinks these solutions are all correct except Se_2P_2 should be "diselenium diphosphide" and a spelling mistake (should be "thiocyanic acid" not "thoicyanic") :O

Know what the crazy part is, in Toronto the minimum income required to qualify for a mortgage to buy a home is just shy of the marginal tax rate that the Federal government considers you ultra wealthy. Every dollar earned above what you make is taxed at in excess of 53.5%. And every dollar spent is charged a 13% HST. And the city of Toronto wants to put in a services tax on top of that. Young people have zero chance to build and save for retirement, start a family etc. It’s all about keeping your head above water. Shameful what we have done, shameful.
Daniel Foch@danielfoch

Mortgage payments for typical home now exceeds 50% of after-tax family income in every Ontario urban centre; 110% in Toronto

@MPelletierCIO Immediate 10 home max for any entity. You have one year from law passing to sell. At that point govt sizes the property and forces sale. You get the proceeds minus admin costs. Then every 2 years that go by the number ticks downwards, until eventually 3 homes is the max.✅

Can a video game predict real world problems? There’s a YouTuber who fixes traffic problems in a city sim game—his # 1 fix is removing too many traffic lights. Toronto just keeps adding more and more. The idea that they aren’t adaptive is maddening.
Build Canada - Toronto@build_toronto

Toronto's intersections could be so much better. If you've driven, walked, cycled or taken transit in Toronto, you've probably been frustrated by them. Whether that's a green light that's too short for all the demand to clear, or advancing on a green only to be hit by a red at the next block. This is because most intersections run on fixed plans written years ago, unable to adjust to modern or real-time needs. It doesn't have to be this way. In the Netherlands, signals are designed to be responsive. Pedestrian walk phases are only triggered when a person is actually waiting. Vehicle and bicycle detection systems shorten or lengthen greens based on the traffic that has actually arrived. The system adapts to the reality on-the-ground rather than a fixed schedule. This means it'd be able to respond to construction detours, traffic surges when a Leafs game ends, or to unexpected incidents on the Gardiner. Similar systems in China saw trip time reductions of ~20% after using adaptive traffic systems. This memo proposes: 1. Modernize Toronto's traffic signals – move from outdated fixed-time plans to intelligent and adaptive signals 2. Adopt clear technology standards – leverage the global standard of camera-based detection 3. Create a joint funding model – a City-Province partnership fund can ensure every intersection is upgraded without overburdening city budgets. 4. Measure and report results – publish results to ensure accountability to the public Let us know what you think at the poll below:

Generation Z is doing unusually *well* economically. The typical 25-year-old today has a higher annual income, net worth, and likelihood of being employed than the typical millennial or boomer did at 25. (Of course, AI might be about to change that) vox.com/politics/46877…

@taste_of_tbone Apple Music lets you sync your Bandcamp purchases in the cloud across devices as though they’re streaming tracks and as serious bandcamp head that was always what took me to apple. But that said I have no idea if the other streamers now do this too

I have seen an explosion of Dodgers fans still completely manic with sore winning. Complaining about the Blue Jays during the World Series. Not going to give anyone any more engagement because I think a lot of it is engagement farming… But LOL

I no longer have any patience for single-payer dogmatism that insists Canadians must receive inferior health care because it’s the “Canadian way.” Empty egalitarianism is causing unnecessary pain, suffering and deaths. It’s madness.
Raghu Venugopal MD@raghu_venugopal

As an ER doctor I know this better than Dr. Day. And I know privatization of our healthcare system and letting those with more money jump the queue - isn't the Canadian way and isn't the answer. Canadian ER doctors aren't calling for privatization of healthcare. @DrBrianDay
