Thank you for your experience. I have dedicated a big chunk of my life in the last 6 years to Covid prevention and long Covid. I co-founded 3 organizations in Canada that still exist.
Unfortunately, I know many people with long Covid. Some got it on 2nd or 3rd infection. It's Russian roulette.

Asking AI for answers flattens creativity, yet asking for a process amplifies it. Studies show that using bots to frame reasoning pathways, rather than generate solutions, reduces thought anchoring and boosts innovation.
AI can spark creativity — if we ask it how, not what, to think
Studies aiming to maximize human creativity demonstrate that people work best when buoyed up by others who show them new ways to innovate.

Why do civil servants resign in protest? Couldn't they have done more good on the inside? 🧵
Sincerely wanting to understand why is honest people resigning, being considered an act of bravery or somehow fruitful. It’s one thing if the admin felt embarrassed by the resignations & rectified course. But that’s not happening, so now our institutions are just left with fewer people of integrity.
Breaking: NYT now says *six* federal prosecutors in Minnesota have just resigned over the Justice Department's push to investigate the widow of Renee Good and the department's reluctance to investigate the ICE agent who shot Good, according to people with knowledge of their decision.

Seems to me there is a huge distinction between AI applications that are basically working towards full natural lanugage programming, task management etc and AI applications to *make new stuff*. The former seems both more promising as an actual useful tech and also way way less ethically dubious
