@OC_Transpo : hmm wonder why ridership is so low?? A mystery. Maybe billboards will help. Or buskers.

I'm sad to announce that I will have to shut off Small World soon, because Twitter changed its pricing such it would cost $42,000/month to keep the tool up and running 😢 xitter.cf/devonzuegel/status/153…
I built a little tool – it's called Small World, and it helps you make new friends and stay in touch with old ones: smallworld.kiwi
it's like a Marauder's Map, but for the people you follow on Twitter
Woo! I help maintain that! \o/

Picture of my #LGBT themed Space Marines squad, the "Gate Crushers" !
As you can see, I'm a miniature painter, not a wall painter.

The situation is super-crappy, but for anyone who was on the fence about getting one of their keyboards, this is a good time to leap in.
Hi Twitter!
We're fine, but, uh, our bank failed this morning.
We're using that as a pretext to hold a giant 72 hour sale on keyboards, caps, switches, & accessories.
Use discount code BANKRUN for 20% off everything we sell at shop.keyboard.io.

Why does chatGPT make up fake academic papers?
By now, we know that the chatbot notoriously invents fake academic references. E.g. its answer to the most cited economics paper is completely made-up (see image).
But why? And how does it make them? A THREAD (1/n) 🧵

Forget to or unable to pay the $3.25 TTC fare?
Financial penalty: $425.
Drive a car 40km/h over the speed limit, endangering your life and the lives of everyone around you?
Financial penalty: $280.
We privilege cars over everything else.
It’s time to seriously rethink it all.
Over 100 riders were turned away after 1-hour of monitoring.
Do you know what part is frustrating? They have a valid Presto card or money to pay. They choose not to pay & argue with Police & TTC staff.
Fair Evasion penalty of $425.
Pay your ride as others do. #TTC
