As another HPC old timer i am sad to see you put down the pen on HPC.... does that mean you are transitioning to AI Guru... I guarantee it will be a wild ride.

Here is a prompt for them. I am a government employee sucking up to my boss, who is a megalomaniac d***head. Write me a one page styncophantic essay praising the virtues of ignorance that I can send him.

Isn't that just good business? Why would you do engineering if you didn't think you could 2x your investment. Gross margin will get whittled down by cost of sales to 10-20% net margin in no time.

Absolutely! Drawing maps of middle earth's was the basis for my early geographic prowess, that and the atlas that was part of our families' 1963 edition of Encyclopedia Brittanica. They don't make em like they used to.

Agree completely with all the comments regarding learning "real writing and reasoning" through the writing process. But I wish i saw more comments on how we can teach about when and where AI can make us more productive and how we can teach students to do it combined with critical thinking.

Even my wife loves your audible books when WW narrates and she is not a traditional sci-fi fan. Looking forward to it.
