It’s kinda crazy that we now live in a world where it’s assumed that computers will write better stories than you, paint better than you and create software better than you. And your competitive advantage is now that you can fix toilets and flip burgers while computers can’t.

I believe, historically, that crisis pregnancy centers have been bad. Though, the centers in this article that are working against the typical centers, might not be so bad ✌🏻

AI isn't acceptable because "most students already use it anyway." That's a dumb rationale for using and teaching it in school. Notice they never credibly say it will improve students comprehension, critical thinking, and application skills.

A bit late but I wrote about the WNBA sex toy incidents @msnbc.com:
“Hopefully, this incredibly stupid trend has finally played itself out. With a few weeks left before the playoffs, WNBA players deserve so much better than to be exploited for some childish misogyny.”
