Yemen's Houthis attack US aircraft carriers. Perhaps, you should give them Florida?

No, AI can't write good code

Last week a young US company Anysphere Inc. had shaken the tech world, when it released the latest version of Cursor. Cursor is an LLM that checks and edits one's code, and even writes its own code. 1/5 #AI #Cursor #software #coding #technology

I am really glad that the movie called Conclave received an Oscar. It also received BAFTA as the best 2025 movie, alongside a dozen of other justified awards. In my view, Conclave explores the tension between vita activa and vita contemplativa. 1/3 #Conclave #Oscars

It was a sheer pleasure giving a talk on smart cities and sustainable data governance at the University of Edinburgh! Thank you to Rick Woodward and his most amazing students for the great discussion :-) #datagovernance #smartcities

Remembering David Lynch

Everything about David Lynch was amazing: from his mysterious and mesmerizing movies to his quirky personality. (Do you remember how he was sitting with a cow in the streets of LA to promote his film Inland Empire? His advertising budget was short.) 1/5

Merry Christmas to those of you who celebrate! This year, our little one left a kale leaf for Rudolf, because she wants him to eat healthier 😀

Chatbots are here to stay, and the transformations affecting our communication channels and business ethics have been rather dramatic. Another day I was participating in a policy meeting, and a colleague just sent her AI assistant to sit in a meeting instead of her. 1/4

Finished reading James McBride's new book 'The Heaven and Earth Grocery Store'. What a cinematographic story! From the gripping story line to the colourful characters--this book would make an excellent show. If you're looking for a cozy winter read, that's the one #goodreads #literature

A Nobel Prize winner Joseph Stiglitz gave a wonderful talk at the University of Toronto yesterday. The Road to Freedom, his new monograph, explores the way economic freedoms have been routinely conflated in academic and public discourses with political freedoms. What a timely discussion! #publicgood

For the second day in a row, people bring flowers to the Russian Consulate in Toronto, to mourn Alexey Navalny. Everyone is crying

Of all my smart transportation case studies, Boston is the most fascinating. It's a living proof that slow governance is the only working form of administration when it comes to technology in the public sector:
