Thanksgiving reminds us that everyone deserves a home.
If you worked on housing AI this year, ask yourself: did my choices limit someone’s access to housing?
#AI in housing should uplift the vulnerable, not push them out of the room. #HappyThanksgiving

My PhD thesis modeled Epstein–Barr virus dynamics.
This week, people keep asking if I’ve “updated the #Epstein equations.”
Please no, as you can see. The basic reproduction number of my model still says the same.
My model doesn’t explain how the Epstein story keeps spreading.

I paid my way through college by tutoring #math. It was my lifeline as a first-gen student.
AI can now do in seconds what earned me rent and tuition.
With Tutor AI solutions like #GoogleLens, what happens to students whose tutoring jobs are threatened by AI?

@natfairhouse.bsky.social created the Responsible AI Lab to live ahead of the curve so fair housing can thrive now — intentional self-reinvention.
This Wed: an NLP tool to spot AI issues + build coalitions will be revealed as a benefit of that decision.

Avoid spotlight trap.

Once you identify the people you want to live for, working for the people is more important than the praise from the people.

On #VeteransDay, we honor those who remind us that people are the true infrastructure of progress.

As veterans power our war and defense systems, people must also power our AI infrastructure — because without human values, even the smartest code fails.

Bit by bit, HR is taking over corporate life and moving up the office pecking order. There are various reasons for the profession’s growing importance
How HR took over the world
The profession has rocketed in size and stature. Will AI shrink it?

James Watson’s scientific legacy is undeniable.

But legacies get complicated when brilliance and bias coexist.

How does a man who helped decode the human genome fail to grasp the shared humanity written in it?

James Watson, Who Co-Discovered DNA Structure, Dies at 97
His collaboration with biophysicist Francis Crick on the molecular key to all living organisms would make him one of the most influential figures in modern science.

AI is now nearly as influential as real estate professionals. It’s shaping how people find homes, qualify for loans, and understand property values.
But #tech can scale harm just as easily as it scales access.

Reducing academic focus areas like gender, race, and ethnicity may narrow the research inputs that help AI systems understand human diversity. In the long run, that could expand the blind spots large language models inherit.

TCU to end stand-alone departments focused on women and gender, race and ethnic studies
Officials said a merger into the English department better uses resources. Faculty fear it was politically motivated, which TCU denies.

Tried using Meta AI to privately process a short Yoruba message before texting my mom — it just kept repeating the same line.

This further shows that we still lack language models that understand local languages, context, and culture.

AI infrastructure is booming in India. As India & the U.S. deepen tech ties, key questions emerge:
(1) How do we build trusted AI ecosystems?
(2) How do cross-border partnerships drive innovation within global laws?

Modeling is a highly threatened field? But brands are accepting a lot of risk when they opt to use ai fakes. Most brands dont want consumers doubting if products are imaginary.

“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God.”
May the uncertainties that lie ahead give way to lasting peace. And may that same spirit of peace extend to our own institutions—where stability begins with turning on the regulatory lights in our nation.

If you’re a human model thinking your job’s safe from #AI — think again.

This is “me” modeling in Vegas, promoting AI Agents. The twist? I never signed a contract — Sora did the work.

Last month in Springfield, I spoke with state regulators about how AI agents, AGI & ASI are reshaping housing & community development.

I’m bringing that same energy to the Ignite Business & Career Networking Event on Oct 18 as a resource person.
