It’s illegal to practice high-risk professions without a license, and it’s a crime to pretend to have a license. If someone impersonates a doctor and gives advice that makes you sick, they would be held criminally liable. The same standard should apply to AI chatbots! (2/6)

VICTORY! Remember when President Trump declared himself a king and decreed that congestion pricing was dead?

Today, a federal court ruled that the Trump admin unlawfully attempted to end NYC’s successful Congestion Pricing program. We won!

How to understand war with Iran? We must get away from propaganda. Facts suggest two interpretive frameworks: a foreign war as a mechanism to destroy democracy at home; and a foreign war as an element of personal corruption by the president of the United States.

A good set of stats from a 2017 @nycdot.bsky.social study on carsharing. As much as 92% of cars in Park Slope are "stored," meaning they are not used for commuting. Similar numbers in other nearby neighborhoods. The snow just reveals what multiple studies already show.

Star Tribune: “Republican Chris Madel made a stunning exit from the Minnesota governor’s race on Jan. 26, saying he cannot support the national GOP’s ‘stated retribution on the citizens of our state, nor can I count myself a member of a party that would do so.’”
