@colorado.gov One reason I moved to Colorado is that it's like New Mexico with inferior green chile and better everything else. Your move
America is taking notice—New Mexico's bold plan to offer no-cost child care to all families, regardless of income, is a model for other states. When we help families get ahead, we help our entire state and nation. Thanks to the @washingtonpost.com for this deep dive on our exciting announcement.
This state will be the first to offer free child care, regardless of income
New Mexico ranks last among all states on child well-being, but its Democratic governor has committed to be the first to offer free universal child care.

LLMs aren't as interesting, cool, or mysterious as you think and you should probably be using them less.

What I say: I research how human cognition changes during interactions with AI systems.
