My latest post explores moving beyond the AI echo chamber. Instead of an affirmation engine, we need a partner in inquiry. This isn't just a tech issue; it's a philosophical one with real-world stakes.

I wanted to share that my dog's CT scan came back no residual evidence of cancer. We got that huge lump removed from her elbow and got it all out with the surgery. Now we do radiation therapy for a few weeks to clean the area. Then, to the unknown. It kind of hit me in the feels. <3 #LifeWithCancer
