When I used to curl ๐ŸฅŒ, I was one of two people who wore a helmet. People kept asking me if I had a head injury. Uhm, no. But I donโ€™t want one. Hence the helmet.

So many reasons to wear a mask. Prevention is one. Protection of others is another. ๐Ÿ˜ท โค๏ธ

Iโ€™m so sorry! Teen Vogue was a leader in political journalism and Iโ€™m angry to see it go down like this.

Chatbots โ€” LLMs โ€” do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When theyโ€™re โ€œrightโ€ itโ€™s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. Thatโ€™s all.

Last weekend I was at an event and while talking to an elderly woman and my friend with long CoVID, the elderly woman asked me about my mask. She couldnโ€™t understand why I insisted on wearing it. Maโ€™am, if you donโ€™t get it by now just please let me be in peace.
