“I used AI to combine the data from two excel lists and then send emails to people who were on one list but not another. Saved me so much time.”

The Columbine massacre was on this date in 1999. Instead of energizing our country to get gun violence under control, it kicked off a new normal. One of the best explanations ever of journalism's destructive impact on mass shootings came from Roger Ebert in his review of Gus Van Sant’s “Elephant.”

A desert landscape with distant mountain backstop. Looming in the upper left is 3/4 of one of the 25-meter dishes of the Very Large Array of the National Science Foundation. Stretching from right to left at the bottom of the frame, across the San Agustín plain, are at least seven more of the Array’s 27 dishes. The furthest is smaller than the period at the end of this sentence. That is an illusion thanks to ‘perspective.’ The furthest dish is actually 25 meters across.

Look as implausible as the idea of LLMs replacing lawyers in 4 years the idea of LLM-powered robots that don't exist yet being able to replace massive amounts of blue-collar labor is even more ridiculous.

Got a co-worker who once bragged about watching every NCIS episode (yes, *every* NCIS episode), so I'm gonna recommend that if they really like procedurals, they should watch Deadloch on Amazon.

Honestly, this reads like a hot mess because it doesn't even sound like they know what they're going to be offering.

But when you sell to the ultra-wealthy, it doesn't matter because they'll buy anything that's sold only to them.
