Ive always said that the Free City College program is one of those very rare pieces of legislation thats transformative that really has the power to change class dynamics in the city, and theres very few pieces of legislation that make that kind of impact, so its a tremendous honor to be able to vote in favor of this and to be able to follow the tremendous leadership of the community and labor and who and the trustees who have worked so hard to make this program a resounding success. So congratulations, everyone, and thank you for finding this incredible solution and bringing everyone together to see this through. Did you want to say anything else, supervisor mar . Supervisor mar yeah. So indeed, this was a bit more complicated than i thought it would be when i volunteered to work on free city, but i think were really close to getting something that is really great for city college. I think it encompasses the goals that we all share for the free city program. I did want to discuss some
The advisory committees who do such important work. I realize this is an awkward thing to be coming out and speaking in support of oversight over a department that you work so regularly with. So i imagine that, you know, i just want to appreciate your courage and your partnership on this. I think it says a lot that the people who are on the front lines of serving our population thats experiencing homelessness believes strongly that there should be more accountability, transparency, and public input. I think that says a lot. Yes, i talk a lot about speed, and i dont think this is going to slow things down, but theres nothing more wrong than getting it wrong and having to do it over and over and over again. We have to listen to these folks not just at the beginning but throughout the process to make sure that we get it right. And when we deny them that opportunity, we are going to create so many delays throughout the process because were going to have to spend money to fix our mistakes,
And i just wanted to come and add my support for creating this commission . Ive been hearing a lot of concerns about efficiency which i think is really important to talk about as things are already moving slow and the problem of homelessness is not progressing, but the way i look at it is solving these solutions require multiple input, and it is more inefficient to get plans that wont work and have to start over than do our Due Diligence on the front enter, crafting initiatives on the issue of homelessness and having to go back because we redid it wrong the first time . And i also think its important to weigh the pros and cons. If slowing down things by a few weeks will help more people, i see those few weeks for Community Consideration and Better Outcomes as incredibly worth it. I dont think we need to see it as a negative for our community, i think its a positive for making our efforts go forward. Thank you so much for this issue. I hope we can pass it and change the way that were do

What else it can do. Suzanne, its pretty wild how much it can do. Gpt four will turn a chat gpt into a digital personal assistant. It can interpret and generate text, images and audio, and then it can have a conversation with you about it. It can be a storyteller, a translator, and can do so much more. But not everyone is on board with the changes causing dont want to die. I hope they are i Mission District at openai headquarters, dozens of demonstrators demanding to pause a. I. Im not upset because were not antitechnology. We love that gpt can be useful, so were sounding the alarm that we need to hit the pause button.
