It's first-proof-lookin'-at-Wednesday! A new holiday I just made up.

Delighted to report that yes, it contains all my favorite typos. Thank god for a second set of human eyes!

I decided to make a GenAI application that insults my painting. (The sass is programmed in, as is the fairly useful advice!)

I'm honestly more concerned about Michelangelo here. He's seen some shit.

And by “other guy” I mean my gal Sumi, who is very much against (necessary) baths.

Not sure if the arguments are similar, but this book by Martha Nussbaum had a similar thesis (emotions are important tools of cognition) and influenced my thinking a lot when I was at UChicago.

Ok but what if it's my cats doing it, both figuratively and literally.

I had to leave early to prep for a TV interview (in Spanish!), but I was able to catch the beginning of the USC AI Summit and the fun conversation between President Kim and Eric Schmidt.

Bonus: I also snapped this pic of Eric petting orchids. Evidence that AI can't replace everything!

Cats are the best. I just wish I could sleep this soundly.

Just so we're clear about how dumb a 1 trillion dollar pay package is.

I'll update here when I have a publication date, but in the meantime consider signing up for my newsletter!

Seriously. Stop doing this.

Let's not forget that humans do the real intellectual work. AI is just a tool.

Holy crap I've been using the wrong sheets my entire life.

Guess I have to go buy some MAN sheets. For man reasons.
