My team held out for a year arguing for human centered approach to AI as assist, not replacement, but when hammer came down it was a bloodbath:

Our team of 7 is now **2**. And we're expected to produce 3x amount of work with team 70% smaller *to start.*

Muted keywords: "trump" "elon" "musk". I'll just dip my toes in the crazy pool when I feel like I have the mental energy for it. Otherwise, it's just a constant torrent of crap. I'll probably add more, but that seems like a good start.

Status: wearing four layers (two of which are sweaters) in my office where I normally am in a button down because it's pretty warm.

Being a person with deadly, incurable cancer who is nonetheless still alive for an indefinite timeframe gives me an interesting metaphor that helps me deal with things like large-scale corruption in government or commerce.

Pondering the mess of the Hugo Awards, I find myself trying to explain where the Administrators went wrong, in a way that they might hear and understand.

So: If you find yourself keeping things secret because if people find out what you're doing they'll be upset, perhaps you shouldn't be doing it.

Me: "What are we watching tonight? Daniel Tiger?"
4 year old: "Nooo. Bob Ross!"
Me: "Well, alright then."
Then, while watching the show, he quizzed me relentlessly on painting techniques and preferences.
