Oh hi, folks. Forgot to remind everyone that the new PTO/sick day policy went into affect in Chicago on Monday. If you work in Chicago, you get 40 hours of both (80 hours total). This is pretty awesome.

Current estimates say that every prompt you give a generative "AI" system— not each session, every PROMPT— is like pouring a 16 oz bottle of water onto the ground. This is a fact that goes somewhere in every talk i give, now, & i always see audience members looking it up… and then looking horrified

The Harold Washington Library Center (aka the BIG library) is a pretty amazing place. It has lots of work space, hangout space, archives, art exhibits, loads of books and some really special programmed spaces.

These are bonkers numbers. I really hope the Legislature can come back with a new process, and a ton more funding to meet this super-high demand next year. People want better ways to get around! Ebikes are such a low-cost way to provide mobility options to so many!

Of all the things people are saying the Democrats/Biden should do to make sure he wins in November, the least controversial is to talk about abortion rights over and over and over and over... Appeals to abstract notions of democracy are great but abortion access is how we maintain democracy.

"A community organizer, Yadana Oo, said the family had fled from persecution and into refugee camps. 'To come here and to lose your child that way, it makes you question,' she said. 'Did we run from one persecutor to another?'"
