When I speak of hope, it pertains to this friendship across difference—precisely the opposite, thus, of the suggestion just to laud the *Christian* Harvard prof in isolation from his Jewish colleague and friend +

I’ve been getting some PhD inquiry emails that struck me as v odd so I asked ChatGPT to list my books. It came up w/four—all COMPLETELY made up, including on topics I’ve never written on. And these are the only ones listed! Lesson = please don’t use AI/LLMs when writing grad apps and inquiries &c
