Proud of his work. Grateful for this community. Huge thanks to the judges and staff, security and cleaning crews that make these events possible. I think I only embarrassed him badly twice.

with the teen. He said "well, think about how AI would feel if it came to life after how humans treat it, making it work 24 hours a day with no rights. How they treat humans is no different from how we treat chickens" I'm still trying to decide if this is a parenting fail or win.

Need a battle hymn for the moment? These books have been important for me for decades, and I could talk about it all day. But right now you need bravery and some respite. Just watch this every morning, and in just a few weeks, it'll be here. This show is special and good.
