Sunk-cost fallacy and cheating students are the only things keeping AI in business at this point.

Just look at how usage of ChatGPT plummets as soon as the semester ends.

The one on Tremont was too much of a hotel lobby vibe, although the coffee looked legit, so I went to the Blake St one. Still attached to a hotel, but a little more of a coffee shop feel to it. Drip coffee was solid. Will report back on the espresso. I'll probably try something different tomorrow.

Letโ€™s also talk about Vine Street Pub, a rec from former Denverite @wargojon.bsky.social (who you should def ask for more recs, if you see him!). I had a rad sando & fries, specifically the Boom Boom 2.0 (but Iโ€™m out of #AERAFoodie practice, so no pic!). #AERA25 #AERA2025
