This is the best thing I've seen that proves AI is only appreciated by those with no creative talent

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

The homeowner saw on the security camera that a bear was playing on the outdoor swing every day, but couldn't get on.
So he had a bigger swing built, and this was the result.๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ’™โ˜บ๏ธ

It's simple really. The Blue Jays a bad baseball team, who won the division, outclassed and beat a better team that did not perform as well as the clearly inferior team

In other words, it's not about teacher salaries.

Glad this is out there now but I don't know why the ATA didn't make this public when they rejected the last offer.
But I'm not a labour relations lawyer so what do I know.
Does seem like something that the public should know as it provides clarity around the Union's decision to strike.

ANALYSIS | Alberta stopped tracking class sizes. Then it changed its funding formula. Now, it's a teachers' strike issue | CBC News Get a rough idea of how much Albertaโ€™s teaching staff has grown compared to how much student enrolment has grown since the funding formula for school boards was changed.

The Alberta government stopped tracking class sizes, and then the province's population growth really took off. @robsonfletcher.com set out to find out how the numbers of teachers compare to that growth, with the limited info available

Class size/composition is a strike issue.

The union keeps saying, show us the funding formula and the UCP refuses. The union knows that the additional funding will not address the issue of class sizes.

This is why they won't provide the formula showing how the addtional spending will address the concerns.

It's hard to argue against that. He obviously trusts the entire staff enough that he values versatility tomorrow over performance in the moment.
