the first good poem written by AI

Were there moments that you missed? Anything that happened that’s on the cutting room floor? I don’t think there’s anything I missed that I wish I’d gotten. I’ll give you a little anecdote: Stephen Miller was perhaps the most concerned about the portrait session. He asked me, “Should I smile or not smile?” and I said, “How would you want to be portrayed?” We agreed that we would do a bit of both. And then when we were finished, he comes up to me to shake my hand and say goodbye. And he says to me, “You know, you have a lot of power in the discretion you use to be kind to people.” And I looked at him and I said, “You know, you do, too.”

This thread is incredible.

My impression is that Toronto is being ruled by its suburbs. So my question would be: “what do studies of public opinion pre- and post-amalgamation in other communitiesshow? What factors explain those results? If there is discontent, what studies are there of deamalgamation?”

Yes, all the way to Cedar Hill and Haultain a few years back! I called animal control and learned they’re known to wander sometimes.

Teach a robot to fish and soon you won't remember how to.

Happy day to all, including the scum 🥰

Five, and each gets a +1

Anecdote of course, but yes, I think that’s what happened. Here on Vancouver Island we elected Liberals for the first time in forever to deny a Conservative win.

Though having an ineffective NDP leader prodded matters along too.

As @beenwrekt.bsky.social (I think) pointed out, the right analogy here is not "AI experts = Climate experts" but rather "AI experts = Oil executives". At least for the particular AI experts Roose is referring to.
