Year 1 data on congestion pricing in Manhattan…

* Vehicle traffic: -11%
* Foot traffic: +3.4%
* Storefront vacancy: -0.9%
* Pollution: -22%
* Revenue for mass transit: $548M

So YES this has been a huge success.

Just want to point out how funny/sad it is that the same people who will refuse to refer to a trans woman as "she" have no problem calling ChatGPT "she."
If we are banning cell phones for kids we need to be talking about banning chatbots for boomers

they dont do this because they like Trump and want to help him. after he is gone and no longer of use to The Powers That Be, they will all laugh and swap stories about how "everyone knew" how it was much worse than is being openly reported now

I will never get over the fact that the MTA runs two commuter rail systems, and they hate each other so much that they disagree on how they spell "railroad".

After much research and development I have made an offline version of ChatGPT.

Now you can save water and electricity while navel-gazing, and carry one of the world's most powerfully annoying AI chatbots in your pocket.

Driving a car creates immense pressure to act selfishly & think in zero-sum terms, while also physically isolating one from the outside world, inhibiting both our ability to empathize with others & our comprehension of speeds and force

It promotes & even rewards reckless, nihilistic individualism
Human beings interacting on foot have a very different dynamic than when they're interacting behind the wheel of a car stuck in traffic. And guess how suburbanites spend most of their time in public?

it is amazing how so much tech gets unremittingly worse year on year at whatever you once used it for and less pleasant to use and more bound up with creepy politics as well as personal and environmental harms and yet also still less productive of actual goods and these are somehow great visionaries

Headlines like this are extremely dangerous. Because moms of young kids are the people who make the bulk of the vaccine decisions for famillies. And for a lot of them, "reading the news" looks like scrolling past headlines on social media in the spare moments of the chaos of caring for kids.

one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.

This is the kind of post you can only write when you have spent far too much time marinating in the Nazi broth of Twitter.
I don't think it helps the debate about what Democrats should do to pick an obscure thing that some Democrat somewhere may have said -- like on teaching eighth grade algebra -- and then attribute it to Democrats generally.

This is a good way to put it. I'm not going to write anyone off as an irredeemable human being but as a political matter, the American right is animated by bigotry and misinformation. It just is.
I'd say that you can find good in many people who voted for Trump, but you won't find it in their reasons for voting for Trump or in their ideas about politics.

I know Trump voters who can be kind and generous and loving. If you ask why they voted for Trump they'll give you misinfo and bigotry.

It's so fucking funny that this guy dressed like an off-duty clown and pretended to use a paper map for two days to prove a point, but there's a difference between "Waze uses machine learning to predict routes and traffic patterns" and "we fed every book in the library into an event horizon"
the nyt posts this stuff like avoiding AI for 48 hours is hard and meanwhile i have literally never once intentionally used an AI program for anything ever
