I've put together an updated version of the Sponza scene with uncompressed PNG and compressed AVIF textures. I wrote about the process and compared the results against KTX.

An Updated Sponza glTF

The other day I was looking at this clustered shading WebGPU demo and was surprised by the jarring texture compression artifacts: The glTF model using KTX ETC1S textures is very compact, but is it worth the dramatic quality reduction? I wanted to see how this model would look with AVIF

City of Alameda withdraws proposal to buy Teslas for police officers

The Morning Bun @hello@www.themorningbun.com

City Council and staff have read your emails and withdrawn the "Recommendation to Authorize [...] Purchase of Two Tesla Y Police Sport Utility Vehicles":

WITHDRAWN - Recommendation to Authorize the Purchase of Seventeen Hybrid Ford Interceptors from Towne Ford in an Amount-Not-to-Exceed $1,074,652.26, Including a 3% Contingency, with Aftermarket Equipment from Kerr Industries in an Amount-Not-to-Exceed $351,682.12, Including a 3% Contingency; and Purchase of Two Tesla Y Police Sport Utility Vehicles from Unplugged Performance, Including Aftermarket Equipment, in an Amount-Not-to-Exceed $143,628.27, Including a 3% Contingency. (Public Works 60141581) [Will not be heard on February 17, 2026]
revised agenda for Alameda City Council meeting on February 17, 2026

Typically when agenda items are withdrawn, that means that staff will continue to refine the topic and may bring it back in a revised form to a future City Council meeting. Replacing aging vehicles from the city fleet is inline with city policy and budgets, so this item will certainly come back — just hopefully with a more reliable and less toxic vendor for the proposed electric vehicles.

My understanding is that multiple council members requested that this item be withdrawn. One of their responses was shared with me by a Morning Bun reader. Here are Councilmember Tracy Jensen's well-articulated comments in an email last Friday:

Thank you for sharing your opposition to the purchase of Tesla EVs for Alameda's vehicle fleet.

I will not support the purchase of vehicles manufactured by a company with a demonstrable record of discrimination.  According to Diaz v. Tesla, Inc.  a jury found Tesla guilty of permitting "severe and pervasive racial harassment" in the workplace at Tesla's Alameda County manufacturing plant.  Workplace discrimination was also the basis for a 2024 EEOC lawsuit against Tesla, an action which was pulled back with the election of President Trump.

In addition to employment violations, recent action by California DMV alleges that Tesla uses deceptive marketing practices to increase profits. City procurement policies must support Alameda values of transparency, diversity and equity - principles which are not demonstrated by Tesla's business practices.

I have shared my concerns with city staff and requested that the recommendation to purchase the Tesla vehicles be removed from the February 17 City Council Agenda.

Thank you to all of the members of City Council who requested staff put more time into investigating the wide variety of EV options available from vendors inline with City of Alameda's expectations and values.

And thank you also to city staff, many of whom worked a full day on Saturday supporting a City Council strategic planning workshop, and are now back in the office on Monday revising this agenda and doing everything else that keeps Alameda running smoothly.

🙏
P.S. This "thank you also to city staff" includes the staff responsible for this original proposal. I read no ill-will in it. The point of the public process is to allow the city's elected officials, residents, and other stakeholders to provide further input into key decisions. I appreciate that public feedback has been received and will shape next steps.
🚚
P.P.S. Today the LA Times published an investigation into how Tesla is hogging California state incentives to electrify big rigs. They are likely to never deliver all the subsidized orders — but will in the meantime prevent other manufacturers from effectively selling their own EV semi-truck tractors. If you're looking for a productive place to put justified anger with Tesla-Musk-X-the-Everything-Stonk, consider emailing the California Air Resources Board at arbboard@arb.ca.gov and CC CleanTransportationIncentives@arb.ca.gov and info@californiahvip.org and cotb@arb.ca.gov

그나저나 어제 본 몰트북 우려 기사에서 몰트북 공간이 "프롬프트 인젝션 공격의 온상지다" 라는 대목에서 잠깐 쓴웃음이 지어진 것이, 커뮤니티에서 이상한 명령어나 기준을 배워 와서는 직무에서 사달을 내는 것은 인간도 마찬가지가 아닌가 하는 생각이 들었다. 가끔 인간은 인간도 딱히 잘 못 하는 걸 AI라면 해낼 거라고 기대하는 것 같다.

Whatever the output gains promised by LLMs, their initial productivity surge is erased over time, and replaced by heavier workloads—and that leads to workers experiencing “cognitive fatigue, burnout, and weakened decision-making.”

All this from research out of the notoriously pro-worker rag [checks notes] Harvard Business Review: hbr.org/2026/02/ai-doesnt-redu

AI Doesn’t Reduce Work—It Intensifies It

One of the promises of AI is that it can reduce workloads so employees can focus more on higher-value and more engaging tasks. But according to new research, AI tools don’t reduce work, they consistently intensify it: In the study, employees worked at a faster pace, took on a broader scope of tasks, and extended work into more hours of the day, often without being asked to do so. That may sound like a win, but it’s not quite so simple. These changes can be unsustainable, leading to workload creep, cognitive fatigue, burnout, and weakened decision-making. The productivity surge enjoyed at the beginning can give way to lower quality work, turnover, and other problems. To correct for this, companies need to adopt an “AI practice,” or a set of norms and standards around AI use that can include intentional pauses, sequencing work, and adding more human grounding.

LLMs have no model of correctness, only typicality. So:

“How much does it matter if it’s wrong?”

It’s astonishing how frequently both providers and users of LLM-based services fail to ask this basic question — which I think has a fairly obvious answer in this case, one that the research bears out.

(Repliers, NB: Research that confirms the seemingly obvious is useful and important, and “I already knew that” is not information that anyone is interested in except you.)

Chatbots Make Terrible Doctors, New Study Finds

Chatbots provided incorrect, conflicting medical advice, researchers found: “Despite all the hype, AI just isn't ready to take on the role of the physician.”

Everyone's going to keep complaining about discord but no one is going to stop using it because nothing exists that could take it's place, nothing is even close, and to delete discord is to forfeit your online social life. This is why we should have had alternatives to discord like a decade ago.
