met a neuroscientist who trained an LLM on thousands of parables and was stunned by its capacity to interpret. no human could have done it, they said. a lot of ai amazement is people brushing against the humanities, being unable to imagine the scope of our work, the time it takes, the skills we have

My kids loved National History Day. One went to Nationals for a project on the Battle of Blair Mountain. One won a Social Engagement award at the state level for a project on the Silent Sentinels. Both seem particularly pertinent right now.

The Thrill Is Gone B.B. King ยท Live In Cook County Jail ยท Song ยท 1971

10 years ago today we lost an American music great. I had the pleasure of seeing BB King perform 3 times, for which I am so grateful. He was sparked my love of the Blues and it was THIS version of THIS song that did it for me. Rest in Peace, Mr. Riley B. King.

-defense making us more vulnerable to attacks
-homeland security making us feel less secure than ever

There's a list in here of the kinds of topics that people might cry "revisionist history!" about and they've nearly all been the subject of an EO at this point. I'm not claiming to be some visionary, just that this was all pretty clearly where these folks wanted to go, even in 2019.
