GrowSF is endorsing Alan Wong specifically *because* he wants to close Sunset Dunes park and revert it to a highway. GrowSF claimed to support the park before they decided it clashed with their billionaires-first agenda. This is why you can't trust "moderate urbanist" groups. #sfpol

Unfortunately, 'Doing good" at a politicians request is perfectly harmless until it's not - and I know how I respond to requests to people who have done me a favor, even if it's to help someone else. And it is easy to get yourself associated with the favor you had someone grant to someone else - it's a great off-the-books campaign donation. And it's easy to do return favors.
Is it absolutely harmless the vast majority of times? Sure. Can/will it be abused? …

Should S.F. supervisors be allowed to solicit more funds, as a treat?
New legislation from Supervisor Mandelman would reinstate supes’ abilities to solicit ‘behested payments’ from parties with city contracts

Cancelled plans to go to the multicultural festival this morning. It's very wet, and I'm rather tired, and so I'll just spend the day playing with the wee one. What a hardship. 😁

It's funny how "AI" tools are simulteanously marketed as "agents" that can run fully in the background and do stuff but whenever they do something bad it's the user at fault for not supervising the software that doesn't work.
Even when it’s directly used and the user has the chance to review everything—it’s extremely dangerous, especially at tasks it is doing fine like 95% of the time and/or when the bad things are only subtly wrong.
Imagine other tools being like this, like a steering wheel that turns the car 95 out of a 100 times. 2% of the time it steers into the other direction. 3% of the time it steers 5x as much as normally.
