"Would a $1 rideshare fee affect wealthier or working‑class Philadelphians more? 2 Chicago studies offer some perspective"

The driver?
Surely mass transit is more about sharing rides.

‘AI hallucinations’ in doctors’ notes flagged by Ontario auditor’s report
> Auditor general Shelley Spence released audits exposing issues in government use of AI and the training of commercial truck drivers.
Could we stop saying that AI™ has “hallucinations”? Those are “an experience involving the apparent perception of something not present”. LLMs, or any AI™ do not have experiences.

RT by @EU_UNGeneva: In July 1944, the Soviet Union reoccupied Lithuania and other Baltic states and used military force to crush the efforts of Lithuanian citizens to restore statehood. The Soviet propaganda machine tried to disguise the occupation by creating a false narrative of liberation. #WordsMatter #FactsMatter

"Dit is piraterij", zegt de groep.
Dit is onderscheppen, zegt de NOS… -
Prachtig hoe er in Nederland wordt gesproken over illegale acties op zee…
Telegraaf: “in beslag genomen”
NOS: “Amerikaanse militairen hebben in de Golf van Oman een Iraans containerschip beschoten. Daarna hebben mariniers het schip geënterd. Het schip is nu onder Amerikaanse controle, tot woede van Iran.”Afrika: Kapen, gijzelaars en piraten vs.
Westen: Enteren en in beslag nemen😂👌

I wish the news media would stop using the innocuously-sounding "notwithstanding clause" and say what it is: they're suspending human rights.
