Homelessness will dramatically increase in Toronto over the winter, primarily because of provincial and federal funding cuts. Because of this, Toronto's Warming Centres will not be able to meet the need.

Very cool to see things being reported with half the facts and people rooting for something you've worked on for years to fail.
Very cool.

OpenAI pirated large numbers of books and used them to train models.
OpenAI then deleted the dataset with the pirated books, and employees sent each other messages about doing so.
A lawsuit could now force the company to pay $150,000 per book, adding up to billions in damages.

So, today I'm announcing a new book project... and doing a call for papers: crpgbook.wordpress.com/2025/10/31/t...
It's an anthology of video game history outside the usual US perspective - an accessible & exciting panorama of different realities - and I'll pay 300 USD per article.
Please share :)

I find it so interesting that companies seem obsessed with giving away a product for free only to offer dogshit software that only changes for the benefit of their shareholders.
Seems like good business to offer a good product for an appropriate price right?

No such thing as a "good billionaire" but at least it's nice to have a smart CEO
Take-Two's CEO has spoken out on AI, saying "genius is the domain of human beings", and raising copyright and creativity concerns.
"There is no creativity that can exist by definition in any AI model, because it is data-driven."

1. This week, news emerged that former trans athlete, student at Middlebury, and advocate for trans rights, Lia Smith, was found dead.
Her death was ruled a suicide.
But I argue that it's not only a suicide. Every trans suicide is a murder by those in power.

"It is clear that supply and demand curves are not sufficient for understanding the housing crisis. We can build all we want, but if we are building houses as financial assets and not as places for people to live prices are going to stay high."
Building more homes doesn’t automatically lower prices. Calgary and Edmonton have the same vacancy rates but very different price growth; Vienna has fewer homes per capita than Vancouver yet far cheaper housing.
Affordability depends on who we build for—not just how much we build.

No trains from Oakville to Toronto today so my biking/photography plans are DOA
My choices are:
1) Go to Hamilton instead
2) Stay home and make a mix tape
3) Finish and push my new website design...
