Is Laurelhurst’s Noise Policy Endangering Sick Kids? Plus, the City’s Vision for AI
from City Cast Seattle · host City Cast
Today on the podcast, Jane is joined by contributors Brett Hamil and Lex Vaughn to discuss the big news on social media: Helicopters transporting sick kids to the Children’s Hospital have to land at an alternate helipad unless the child is extremely critical. Jane goes into the history of the ‘strife’ between Laurelhurst and the hospital. Then they talk about the news that Mayor Katie Wilson’s administration has decided to end the pause on the use of Microsoft’s AI software Copilot, and the news that Microsoft, Amazon, and others are joining the Department of Defense in building an “AI-first fighting force.” They close with a take on this week’s headlines, including the millionaires tax surviving an attempt to bring a referendum and the demolition of Gas Works’ climbable equipment.
