Here's a danger from A.I. that seems paradoxical. If A.I. is too good at helping humans, then humans tend to zone out. Only if it's not quite top-notch do humans stay alert and pay attention.
Bike vigilantes exist! They'll use their expertise to help you get back your stolen bike. There's one in Portland, too, called BikeIndex. Also Project 529 and BikePortland.

Should you ditch you mobile phone like Justin Bieber? Most of us can't, because we don't have personal assistants. Oh well.
There have been tech layoffs, but the headcount at major tech companies is about the same. This is because they are changing their focus, and weeding out the oldies, to make room for the new.

C|Net is no longer a trustworthy source of tech news. Reputation, once lost, is hard to regain. If C|Net can be fooled by A.I., it's clearly not a tech authority.
Multnomah County's ambulance service is a sinking ship. Workers are leaving, and the County wants to punish the ambulance service. Soon, we won't have ambulance service. What inept leadership. I suspect the rich will somehow take care of themselves.

And at the state level, why doesn't Tina Kotek use her $600 million surplus instead of creating a toll on highways?
There goes recycling. Downtown Portland will close two bottle drop centers because they're just fentanyl abuse hangouts. Everything nice is falling apart in this clown world of a city.
PGE wants more money. Can't they take it from their CEO's enormous compensation?
Love to see Seattle Democrats get a taste of Democrat policy. They're just seeking a better life, right?
