The AI Wildfire Is Coming. It's Going to be Very Painful and Incredibly Healthy.
AI won’t crash—it will burn. Like every tech cycle, the fire will clear the brush, redistribute talent, and leave infrastructure to power what comes next. The question is: what kind of plant are you?

The technical obliviousness I see in #cdned is often seated in science obliviousness. We need this kind of communications focus across all STEM programs.
If you can't explain it so people understand it, you're part of the problem.

When science is understandable, we all win. I've started a national petition calling on all institutions of higher education, and their accreditors, to require science communication and public engagement training for all STEM degrees.
