PRT’s contractor is expected to establish the new location on Sixth Avenue between Fifth Avenue and Diamond Street on Monday, May 20.

To accommodate the new worksite, traffic on Sixth Avenue will be reduced to one travel lane in each direction between Fifth Avenue and Diamond Street. This single-lane operation will remain in effect 24/7 until late fall.

Work in this area will include the installation of foundations for traffic signals and pedestrian lighting followed by sidewalk and curb replacement.

Construction on the University Line bus rapid transit project began in September 2023. The University Line will provide dedicated bus lanes between downtown and Oakland.

The $291 million project is expected to be in operation in 2027.

You can no longer use Tumblr’s tipping feature
The reason for shutting down the feature is simple: it failed to gain traction. Additionally, it has been Tumblr's plan since last year's reorg to put an end to things that aren't performing well. In 2022, Tumblr introduced Tips as a complementary feature to Post+, its subscription offering that allowed creators to put content behind a paywall.

This Week in AI: Can we (and could we ever) trust OpenAI?
This week in AI, OpenAI launched discounted plans for nonprofits and education customers and drew back the curtains on its most recent efforts to stop bad actors from abusing its AI tools. OpenAI removed one of the voices used by its AI-powered chatbot ChatGPT after users pointed out that it sounded eerily similar to Johansson's. Johansson later released a statement saying that she hired legal counsel to inquire about the voice and get exact details about how it was developed -- and that she'd refused repeated entreaties from OpenAI to license her voice for ChatGPT. Now, a piece in The Washington Post implies that OpenAI didn't in fact seek to clone Johansson's voice and that any similarities were accidental.

AI training data has a price tag that only Big Tech can afford
Data is at the heart of today's advanced AI systems, but it's costing more and more -- making it out of reach for all but the wealthiest tech companies. Last year, James Betker, a researcher at OpenAI, penned a post on his personal blog about the nature of generative AI models and the datasets on which they're trained. In it, Betker claimed that training data -- not a model's design, architecture or any other characteristic -- was the key to increasingly sophisticated, capable AI systems.
