This graduation speaker probably has nothing to fear from AI: She's already established in her career, perhaps tenured. Her 401K is soaring. The graduates know that AI has made their college education largely a charade-- and will shut them out of meaningful employment. That's why they're booing.

A big problem with "Joe Rogan of the Left" discourse is that underlying the discourse is an implicit "We need a Joe Rogan figure that will appeal to OTHER, less sophisticated people. Not me though. I'm too hip to need or want that." Build the ecosystems that YOU want. Anything else is paternalism.

The risk of hantavirus for the vast majority of the world is extremely low. But it's serving as a warning sign of how poorly equipped the US is for outbreaks -- which is worrying, given predictions of another pandemic within decades. My latest:

Wow: NBC Nightly News just reported that, when they asked four states w/ returned hanta ship passengers whether those people were quarantining, they got no response - & Arizona said their returned passenger isn't. One reason we need good public health policy is because individuals often lack sense.
