‘It cannot provide nuance’: UK experts warn AI therapy chatbots are not safe
Experts say such tools may give dangerous advice and more oversight is needed, as Mark Zuckerberg says AI can plug gap
Having an issue with your romantic relationship? Need to talk through something? Mark Zuckerberg has a solution for that: a chatbot. Meta’s chief executive believes everyone should have a therapist and if they don’t – artificial intelligence can do that job.
“I personally have the belief that everyone should probably have a therapist,” he said last week. “It’s like someone they can just talk to throughout the day, or not necessarily throughout the day, but about whatever issues they’re worried about and for people who don’t have a person who’s a therapist, I think everyone will have an AI.” Continue reading...

This area on Fraser St (technically called “South Hill” but no one really calls it that?) is returning to normalcy. The Filipino businesses are all busy. My two favourite places to eat Filipino food are packed. Pampamga Cuisine (where I am) and Pin Pin are both busy.

The swimmers who use the Vancouver Aquatic Centre deserve better than this Park Board and their half-hearted attempt to serve the communities who have relied on this 50m pool for 50 years. Last night, they gutted the pool to build a giant hot tub and a lazy river.

In February, Park Board commissioners gave their staff 1 month to reconsider building a new 50-metre pool at the future Vancouver Aquatic Centre.
Now, 1 month later, Park Board staff are again recommending a smaller 25-metre pool. #vanpoli #vanre

As someone who was formerly homeless, I wish more countries were like this. When you're homeless, it's impossible to get back on your feet without somewhere stable to live. Otherwise, you spend every moment of every day just trying to survive.
“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Why? The country applies the "Housing First" concept agains homelessness.

Apologies for putting Vancouver stuff here, but despite the recommended design to rebuild the Aquatic center pool at 50m, the city of Vancouver is trying to approve a plan to shrink the pool from just under 50m to 25m. There's a petition here to keep the 50m design. www.change.org/p/we-need-a-...
