    I would love to see media outlets be more careful in how they describe AI tools attacking other systems. They’re not “rogue”. They are malicious. And their authors are still responsible for them. If they’ve acted irresponsibly with an execution environment with too few controls, then it’s the humans in charge of creating that environment who are ultimately to blame. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/openai-university-toronto-rogue-agents-link-shortener-ai-9.7349607 Code doesn’t “escape”.

    If I end a ride saying the prayer to St Michael, that’s a pretty bad sign for both how bad Toronto’s drivers are, and the lack of decent infrastructure for a short, ten minute ride without bike lanes. https://saintmichaelcc.org/prayer-to-st-michael-the-archangel Heaven help us next year when the province takes even those away.

    The next bus departure board at Ossington subway station has a vertical polar filter, presumably as an accidental side-effect of mounting a commodity display at right-angles. The upshot is that in polarized sunglasses, you need to tilt your head about 45° to read it at all. Fortunately, you can save yourself the bother, because the times disagree with both the led signs on the platforms and with reality (the buses themselves). #transit #TransitTO #TTC
