I have been in this building and it is fantastic. Alf is a former editor at the Toronto Star and the first person I wrote for there, when he edited the much missed Ideas Sunday section. He said "write me 1000 words about goats". And I did.

I can’t get over the fact that Toronto + Ontario shut down transit on one of the busiest weekends of the year. It’s contempt for the people who live here.
A> when subway is closed you really see how much work it does. Sardine buses. Imagine everyone in cars.
B> it’s bananas the TTC scheduled TWO separate downtown subway closures the 2nd weekend before Xmas. Busiest time. If not emergency why not wait till January doldrums? Punishing organization.

The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) paid $18 million for a chatbot named Charlie, which the auditor general reported gave her team the wrong answer 66% of the time.
The chatbot's responses were found to be brief and lacking context, with only 2 out of 6 questions answered accurately.

Maybe we should be pushing high School graduates into fields that robots can't touch for the near future like plumbing, electrician, nursing and the like.
