Hit the ground running here in Lancaster! Got plugged in with
#LancasterStandsUp
and hosted one of their
#TroublemakersCafe
events to talk AI and privacy. The event was a wild success with about 40 people in attendance! Looking forward to continuing to work with this fantastic group!

Nearing the end of my first year as a faculty member and it has taught me a lot! First and foremost: "Beautiful, polished lecture slides are no more appreciated by students than ugly, boring lecture slides."

My Immortal is a better story than Altman's AI slop | deadSimpleTech
In this light, AI-generated "fiction" is already broken from the get-go. What makes fiction interesting and compelling is, in large part, the spark of recognition: of seeing your experience reflected by someone else, of seeing how someone else sees and experiences the world, of recognising something in a story that you can take from it and put into your own life. This - all of this - is deeply dependent on the aforementioned relationality of fiction: fiction without an author feels wrong, and almost fraudulent, as though the person who generated the story is lying to you by pretending to have had experiences, thoughts and feelings that he actually hasn't. The reaction this generates is a subconscious level of disgust and violation, as we're expected to pretend that (in this case) Sam Altman has feelings that he's never shown any evidence of being capable of.

The thing that stands out here is so many Dems run campaigns terrified of (and thus buying into) the Fox News framing. Mamdani is rightly mocking that framing as ridiculous and it resonates. He's not running scared. He's running proud of who he is and what he stands for.
