I'm totally jazzed to announce that effective July 26, I'll be joining Public Health @GovCanHealth as Chief Data Officer and director general of Data Management, Analysis and Innovation. Like many of you, I've been watching the public health and data space for the past few years.

In the 1970s, Dutch cities like Amsterdam were full of traffic and air pollution.

Now they are models of sustainable urban planning.

Here's the story of how the Netherlands started building their cities for humans, not cars.

@lowa_lum @ottawacity Very happy it worked out for you. 😀

[Chris Allison 🇨🇦 @ToferC]

@b_bogatirev @ottawacity So sorry to hear that. 🥺

[Chris Allison 🇨🇦 @ToferC]

@ottawacity Need to clarify that I’m on the West-end of Ottawa. There were still some spots available downtown and to the East. “No more spots” == no spots any reasonable distance that made any sense for two working parents with two small children.

@ottawacity Folks. Sign on 10 minutes early, my wife and I both choose one swim course each for our children. When 9pm arrived, got kicked from the site, reloaded 3 times, put in a queue, and then found out that not just this activity, *every* child swim activity is sold out.

@b_bogatirev @ottawacity Hi Boris - should have clarified. I’m on the West end. There were spots available downtown and on the East end.

🚨New version of Blawx (v1.4.0-alpha) released!🚨

Changes how the code deals with true / false values, and completely revises the scenario editor fact interface to increase its ability to express general, false, and uncertain facts.

@_jim87 Lots of ways to take that question, but at a foundational level: That the process is adaptive and that the new artist brings their own self and experiences into anything they create.

[Chris Allison 🇨🇦 @ToferC]

Add to the fact that a) we’ve trained the AI on peoples art without attribution or compensation and b) that future iterations will also be trained on the morass of AI generated art, the future of art will be a derivative swamp void of meaning. That has trouble with fingers…

[Chris Allison 🇨🇦 @ToferC]

And yeah, I know they’ll get the thumbs right, but I’ll stand firm on the rest.

On the subject of #AIart, Guillermo del Toro (@RealGDT) says he will always "consume, and love, art made by humans."
