A friend is working for an AI education startup. Of the 1000 AI-generated questions they had to read through, about 80% had errors they had to fix. They’ll get paid for all this work once the company - which hasn’t launched yet - hits their subscriber target.

Explored the Sellwood-Moreland neighborhood of Portland today, starting off at Crystal Rhododendron Garden, which is gorgeous even in "off-season."
It's not as popular as Japanese and Rose Test Gardens, so less crowded and more of a locals place. Also in a charming neighborhood.

I often bemoan that Portland's "aggressive humility" causes us to consistently abdicate our narrative to others — from the NYT food section to sketch comedy. But once in a while, we do step up to tell our own story. And I am absolutely here for it. #pdx #portland www.bizjournals.com/portland/new...
Opinion: The Frog that saved Portland - Portland Business Journal
Authors Leslie Carlson and Joe Cortright write that the frog is a symbol of resistance. It may also be a symbol of a city reborn.

I was homesick while I was gone, and kept looking at old photos of familiar places like this intersection near my studio. I love how much of the past Portland hung on to. I can walk outside my workplace at lunch and almost see back through time in little ways.
