I want to talk to you about your kids’ K-12 new school AI policies this year. For an @axios.com story. Please share this most with anyone. I’m at Megan.Morrone@Axios

I'm looking to chat with anyone who definitely would not like their next of kin to reanimate them with AI after they die...as one does. This is for an Axios story. DM me here or [email protected].

DM me about your AI job anxiety. I'm less empathetic than ChatGPT and it might be used in a story with your permission. So email if you're OK with that: [email protected]

I am a very simple woman. All I want is for AI to do my expense reports

New @axios.com story: Upwork data shows a rise in “vibe coders” — people using AI to code without knowing how — and demand for “generalists” who can blend AI with creative skills. www.axios.com/2025/06/30/a...

Anthropic just dropped new data on how folks are using Claude for emotional support. Bots can be comforting. But they weren’t built for therapy. Thx to @miles.land &‬ Alex Sanderford from @anthropic.com & @erictopol.bsky.social for insights. In @axios.com AI+. www.axios.com/2025/06/26/a...

Here is your friendly reminder that LLMs are simply guessing at the next word. They're not designed to give you facts or to verify them. They don't "think," they infer. As far as I know, dogs still are unable to use Google when they've lost their socks.
