SFMTA is adding left turns back to Valencia at 17th, 21st and 23rd streets with a new phase, which will cut down on time for pedestrian and bike crossings. The word is that Mayor Lurie directly ordered this. Signal modifications are very expensive and that money could have gone to safety or transit priority.
Seems small, but it's wasteful and adds to the "death by a thousand cuts" for Transit First in Lurie's SF.

It's worth bearing in mind that all AI companies are in that phase where they burn money to attract the most customers and hope that the competition blinks first. That means all AI is pretty badly underpriced.
For coding, that's a problem. It's just on the edge of being arguably positive for some. If the price goes up by an order of ten, the bubble is going to burst. And it may take the other AI use cases with it. After all, coding was kind of a killer app.

Neither OOP nor FP (nor 4GLs nor IDEs nor SOAs nor any of the other new hotnesses past) had anything remotely resembling the current money behind them. None led to companies speculatively laying off tens of thousands of employees for imagined productivity boosts that had not actually arrived yet. None shaped whole election cycles, or led to national proposals for preemptive deregulation. None led to the construction of nuclear power plants or the draining of rivers. None sent oligarchs or fascists into spasmodic wet dreams of world domination. None started quasi-religious cults like EA.
