ESDC has not one, not two, but THREE LLM Chatbots approved for departmental use: ESDC Virtual Assistant, Microsoft Copilot, and Curam AssistMe.
Curam, by the way, we were told was developed by Deloitte, but was actually created by IBM and now comes from a software company in Ireland named Merative.

Carney treats AI as a magically solution to many of Canada’s problems: it will increase productivity, reduce the budget deficit, make the public sector more efficient, and more.
But there’s little evidence things will play out as he suggests.

Cuomo would accelerate the ongoing de Blasio/covid/Adams drain of smart, creative people from city govt
I worked for the city during Cuomo 1st Gov term. What I got from people in state agencies was palpable feeling of fear in MTA leadership, ESDC person I knew suggesting the Gov was a "psychopath"

Yes and as bad as Eric Adams has been, Andrew Cuomo will be far, far worse. Adams at least thought it was worthwhile to pretend to care about bus riders and cyclists early in his term. Cuomo is a car guy through and won't even bother with pretending to care about anyone but himself.
The biggest transportation upgrade in NYC in our lifetimes - congestion pricing - was a state-mandate program with immediate and obvious benefits that the mayor failed to embrace or realize before it went live. This guy is a disaster on transportation.

I focused on the ESDC assessment in my letter to my MP, since that’s also not in the legislation. Hopefully the text gets some cleanup during debate.
