I wish I could quote this with enormous flashing neon lights shouting “THIS!”.
Machine learning has been with us for decades and is an invaluable tool for domain specific evaluation. That it’s now endlessly mixed up with AI LLMs is unbelievably infuriating.

Meanwhile this is *machine learning* and what it is *good at*. Not generative AI bullshit, actual useful predictive statistical models. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

When you follow a leader, consider what would lead you to withdraw your support.
If the answer is nothing, your integrity is in jeopardy. Our highest loyalty belongs to principles, not people.
No leader deserves unconditional love. Commitment is earned through character.

Lord of the Rings is my favorite story, because at its core it’s about how the power of loyalty and friendship and bravery can overcome even the darkest evil, and also how wanting to eat potatoes again badly enough is basically a superpower

It does suck that "AI" now means both generative AI (boo hiss) and a whole basket of incredibly useful machine learning techniques.

You have three days, starting today, to leave a public comment with the FDA about, say, why COVID-19 boosters should remain available to everyone and also free. "Individual consumer" is the category you most likely want (unless you are one of the other categories; if so, choose that).

Remember in the movie “Aliens” when no one listened to the woman and then everyone died? That’s what the vibe feels like right now.
