This was a decent novel. It was good but I didn't love it. It's pacing felt uneven, where the first half dragged and the end felt rushed. One or two subplots probably could've been edited out. I didn't connect with many of the characters, though Innes and Ella were the best. I'd still recommend it.

A baby came in to the clinic's blood draw lab and got it done with minimal crying. As the parents carried the baby out the dad said "good job, buddy!" To which everyone in the waiting room gave the baby an applause. And the dad did a fist pump as they exited lab area.

Very that. But I also use the new legal name on LinkedIn, which is where my brother apparently noticed the change and then proceeded to message me about it... on LinkedIn 🥴

Oh yes, I remember this story... but I'd still suggest changing it. And like you said, you don't really have to let them know 🤷

In this environment, it becomes even more critical to have well-rounded knowledge to serve as a counter weight to whatever an LLM may spit out. Either way, sounds bleak...

For instance, like Kennedy is alluding to here, what if we get so dependent on AI and that we're using it as our primary info source, and then those AIs are used to promote a certain specific line of thinking? That is, lead us to misleading conclusions that ultimately benefit the rich and powerful.

On a separate—while we focus on AI's creation involving intellectual theft, data centers harming the environment, potentially destroying countless jobs, etc—I don't think there's enough emphasis on the risks involved in concentrating info and reasoning into the hands of a few powerful people.

“If somebody tells you masks work, trust the experts, AI may tell you otherwise. If somebody tells you social distancing works, trust the experts, AI may correct that. And if somebody tells you that a vaccine will prevent transmission and infection... AI may say it actually doesn’t do that”

RFK Jr. thinks AI will free us from the "tyranny" of medical facts, expertise
AI is far from a perfect resource. But it seems to hallucinate less than Kennedy.

No idea. And not a huge priority for me since I'm still using the nickname as it's still appropriate

Somehow one of my brothers apparently just learned that I changed my legal name 🥴 I guess my bad for really only announcing the change in a story post 😅
