AI says Mike Vrabel is a candidate for Raiders head coach. Now just imagine how people who don’t know the subject are tricked by AI on important things. Note: I am far from anti-AI. But it is weird it gets pretty obvuous things like this wrong.

I don’t know to me these goals seem common sense, and you might even say necessary. We can’t pretend like AI doesn’t exist even if you don’t like it.

The Trumpadmin point person on higher ed thinks universities might be using federal grant overhead to fund sports stadiums. 🙃 No, there is absolutely no way that can possibly happen.

I recently drove across the country and listened to the entire Rolling Stones discography in order (I’ve listened to all of these albums many times but never like this 😁). Here is the top 20. Worst album (by far): Dirty Work. The lesson: even if you’ve hit rock bottom in your job you can improve. 😂

If you’re still at #EPSA2025 this afternoon come and see me present work with Allison Archer and Toby Heinrich on whether people prefer to engage negative AI news and what this means for their attitudes. Other very interesting papers on the panel as well.

I’m glad the stock market went back up a bit, but I’m still down over 4,000 cartons of eggs. Trying to bridge divides with Trump supporters by putting this into terms they understand.
