each year since COVID started counts as three so uhh i'd say it's actually 20 years. (let's call Nov 2016 to Mar 2020 as 3.5 years and Mar 2020 to now as 5.5 years x 3 = 16.5 + 3.5 = 20.)

Oh and before you ask, "Wow, Chris, what are you writing??" Here is the introduction: mchrisriley.medium.com/introduction... - Chapter 1 is up too, and I'm in the midst of editing Chapter 2.

It's extra ironic to use an AI copyeditor to write about how AI is absolutely not conscious, and not close.

An attempt at a tractable lens for understanding AI and consciousness

This is odd: "The president may be the Air Force Academy’s commander in chief, but it is the Constitution — and our freedom of speech, which it protects — to which he should ultimately be loyal."

Shouldn't it say "it" not he, i.e. Academy should serve the Constitution over the President personally?
