The city of Seattle is pretty small. Fewer than 150,000 voters have the power to pick Seattle's next mayor, setting the tone for region of 4.5 million people. Looks like Katie Wilson has convinced enough people that she has what it takes.

Finding progressive revenue in Seattle, without the option of an income tax, requires some creativity. And that's a big part of Katie Wilson's pitch to be the city's next mayor.

"But when Copilot pops up on Jominy’s computer screen, it’s typically an accident — the result of a mistaken push of what used to be a control key."

[Matt Day @mattmday]

I've been diving into Microsoft's Copilot recently. (The personal companion, not to be confused of the workplace app with of the same name…)

How's it doing? Not as good as ChatGPT (but nobody is) (🧵)
