You've been one of the highlights of the ProfG podcast @profgalloway.com this past year. I pulled a segment from an earlier episode for an in class discussion on AI and ownership of it with my students. And this last episode was so good I'll probably listen to it twice. Thank you!

"(Smashes controls) I can't!"
When Spock stands in the contaminated room, stands tall, and pulls his uniform into alignment. I love that touch. Nearly dead, blinded, and still focused on respecting the uniform.

Cells, and the things that make them up, generally don't like reactive oxygen species because they cause damage and oxidative stress. It's why we take antioxidants.

... why he had no problems throwing a ridiculous amount of money at Insta/WhatsApp and the boondoggle of VR. CANNOT MISS THE NEXT WAVE. The lesson from The Innovator's Dilemma is that missing the next big wave is existential. Spending $50 billion on the wrong things may not be.

Thank you for the link. I was developing a short discussion for international students on just-in-time learning and AI, and this helps root the utility of real world tasks (outside of the real world use cases I've personally observed or experienced).

I think the area of the circles scales with the percentages. (I only did this for the largest of the two radii.) I quickly measured the relative lengths of the radii in PowerPoint. It's possible I made a mistake, but I think that's their approach.

That's my main issue with their arguments shared on podcasts. It's almost entirely metaphor and analogy based. They are momentarily alluring and tedious to challenge.
