I Believe... [The Lie of Leftover Pizza]

I Believe... [Dropping Names]

“AI expert” is a 2023 phrase that gives me the same feeling as “Social media expert” in 2009. As new as it is and as fast as it’s changing, how can you consider yourself or anyone else an expert? We should be mindful of the foreboding foreshadowing in front of us.
Another Strike at the Arts in America
I’m defiantly in the camp of the writers on this one (as I would be in any fight between those doing the work versus those raking in billions of dollars) but the fight against new technology is a losing one historically.
