My employer, Dartmouth College, today boasts it's 1st Ivy "to launch AI at an institutional scale." It is doing this by partnering--"more than a collaboration"--with Anthropic, a company that stole the books of many faculty, me included, which many of us are suing.

I'm currently reading 'They Said It Couldn’t Be Done', Wayne Coffey’s book about the 1969 World Series. Chapter 12 (Game Three against the Baltimore Orioles) includes a biography of Karl Ehrhardt.

Decided to wear the Clay Holmes hockey jersey giveaway from the #Mets game I attended at Citi Field in May. It’s the only garment in my closet that says NYC in huge letters across the chest.
Love ya, New York.
