I think the Globe and Mail article referenced at the end [0] is a much better source. The BoingBoing article has less info and as far as I can tell their claims that these ideas are/were planned for the Toronto development is unsubstantiated. The globe and mail article quotes a spokesperson as stating:

"Many, if not most, of the ideas it contains were never under consideration for Toronto or discussed with Waterfront Toronto and governments."

It's definitely concerning that Sidewalk Labs ever had (or currently has) some of these ideas as part of their vision but it's not helpful to sensationalize or misrepresent the actual plans for Toronto.
