The prevailing argument in favor of using AI in media is that it lowers the cost for local news and under-served communities.

But the core of that argument is fundamentally that we should paper over a loss of institutions with a deeply inferior and unreliable product.

People deserve better!

Will we need to serve it warm for the Scots?

They’re fun to watch. Barnes turning into something elite is incredible.

I don’t know…I don’t want any politicians buying up real estate while in office, or even shortly thereafter. The integrity commissioner can’t talk about it…to the public? Yuck.

I don’t think it’s a vague suspicion. There are questions here. It’s McCallion-esque. It’s fairly news.

Not even joking. Gretzky wine is terrible.

All news should shoot him wide whenever he does this. There’s no rule that you have to zoom in. Show the reality.

How Ford-like.

Even in the bike utopias driving is still a perfectly acceptable social norm. 60% of households and over 80% of families with kids in Denmark have a car. The Netherlands has 513 cars per thousand people; Canada has 677. The threat to drivers, such as it is, is mostly imagined.

Thanks! Whenever the city gets back to this, Don Mills should be revived. It’s a near perfect spot for LRT. I worked up that way for years. Lots of apartments on DM so decent density always but room to grow. The DMC is a magnet, so a traffic nightmare. And it’s a “natural” extension/connection.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but Don Mills had a LRT planned for it during Transit City, yes? Which just disappeared when the DRL got turned into the OL? I may be misremembering.

Indeed. It’s SO MUCH money too. If Saab wants to open a factory here, that helps domesticate several billion dollars.
