I’m listening to terrestrial radio (hip hop station) and there’s an ad by Noem to download the CBP One app and to self deport. Followed by an ad for Sprouts.

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

QOTD: Who is the smartest person you know? My college classmate/friend took 20 units of physics classes in one semester and aced all of them. He has founded and sold at least two medical device companies. Drives an Avalon!

Found out today one of my grad school classmates just got a MacArthur Fellowship grant. 👀

It's funny, basically the minute I met her I knew she was one of the smartest people I'd ever know. Extremely cool. www.macfound.org/fellows/clas...
