A small (personal) example of this book’s intellectual dishonesty:
My father-in-law is reading In Covid’s Wake, and excitedly told me he found a passage where I’m quoted. The quote in question is me saying the FBI worked to censor speech on social media.
Huh? When did I say that?!

Courage is not a fixed trait, but a skill that can be developed & strengthened. Like a muscle, the more we use it the stronger it becomes
To develop courage, we must be willing to face our fears & take small, manageable steps towards overcoming them

You see this with every “EdTech” product so it makes sense we’d see it again with AI. “Imagine the ideal, highly motivated, diligent, curious, self-directed student, here’s how they could do great things with this”
Wow, amazing, ok how will the other 99% of students use it.

The pro-AI argument is often made this way, which is why it's so often appealing: present an ideal use case ("It's a great first step in research!") and ignore the fact that 99.7% of the actual use cases will not look anything like that.

In my opinion the president shouldn't constantly be like "Holy shit did you guys see this?" and repeating a thing he kinda heard on TV. I don't think that should be mostly what the president does.
He issued a correction, proving why he needs to stfu and let the cops do their jobs.
It’s a a goddamned ongoing tragedy, not a reality TV show, primed for him to drop the big reveal.

It was genuinely an honor to meet Mr. Chavarria at Tuesday's hearing. His story is incredible; grew up in a refugee camp in Honduras, graduated as a valedictorian at 15, got scholarships in the US, met his husband here, became a US citizen, and is now a school superintendent in Vermont.
Chavarria, a U.S. citizen, was held at the airport "for more than four hours and released only after he finally agreed to let the agents search his smartphone, tablet, and laptop computer. The agents...informed him that he had no Fourth Amendment right to resist." @pacificlegal.bsky.social is suing.
CBP agents held this U.S. citizen for hours until he agreed to let them search his electronic devices
A federal lawsuit argues that perusing travelers' personal data without a warrant or probable cause violates the Fourth Amendment.
