Probably many good therapists who are not using AI in this way. Wish the hype would stop & more research/testing, etc would be used to evaluate how & when it's more harmful than good, in which situations. Who is responsible when AI harms someone?

Illinois has long been a national leader in energy — committed to delivering for our families and businesses.

But PJM undermines our efforts and lacks meaningful accountability to the very states it serves.

I'm joining a bipartisan group of governors in calling for reform.

I'm concerned by State Farm’s unfair and arbitrary insurance rate hike on Illinois homeowners.

These increases are predicated on catastrophe loss numbers inconsistent with Illinois DOI’s analysis, indicating State Farm is shifting out-of-state costs onto homeowners here.

The best way to gauge others’ values isn’t to ask them directly. It’s to find out who they respect.

Shallow people are impressed by superficiality. They look up to beauty, fame, money, and power.

Deep people are drawn to substance. They admire wisdom, kindness, humility, and integrity.

So many of us are struggling to stay positive right now. But you don’t have to fix everything, just start small.
Sow love where you are. Help one person, care for one thing. 🌱

This whole thread is absolute gold; @joshtong.bsky.social’s readout aligns with what @karenmcgrane.bsky.social and I have been seeing, and it’s very encouraging confirmation to see another pro lay it all out.
My best guesses about what AI will mean for content strategists in the next few years.

– Content strategy, IA, and CX skills will become even more important. But some industries will have to learn that the hard way.

– Dedicated writing roles will become less common.
