thanks for the tip! It's worth my having a hardcopy of your book anyways as someone gearing up to use your book seriously to teach others.

Good luck with the new book. I'm looking forward to it. In the meantime, I did order the edition with the new preface. I am working on creating a new "Using AI Thoughtfully" course for teenagers next summer.

@melaniemitchell.bsky.social I see on Amazon that your AI paperback edition (published Sept 2, 2025) has a new preface -- www.amazon.com/Artificial-I... -- I was under the vague impression that you were working on a whole new edition. If not, I'll grab your book with the new preface.

Oh no. I didn't know Brian that well but many years ago, he was very gracious and kind to me when I visited FIS in Toronto over 15 years ago.

@ucbids.bsky.social Where is the physical location for BIDS now? Today is the first time I've been in Doe Library in years. I am surprised to be sitting in the place where BIDS used to be! (I see an open space with lots of people on laptops and a student maker space now.)

Powerful episode on Your Call Radio (KALW) about Stanford's Letter Project for end-of-life discussions. These templates help communicate what truly matters before it's too late. Even this Cal Bear admits Stanford does good work🐻 www.kalw.org/show/your-ca...

The Stanford Letter Project helps you discuss your end-of-life wishes

Only one-third of US adults have discussed end-of-life wishes. The Stanford Letter Project gives you the tools to ensure you and your loved ones are prepared.

The attacks on DEI are a pretext for a much more radical agenda of reversing the gains of the civil rights movement, an objective the Trump administration is pursuing with zeal. A Great Resegregation. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

If the Great Resegregation proves successful, it will restore an America past where racial and ethnic minorities were the occasional token presence in an otherwise white-dominated landscape. It would repeal the gains of the civil-rights era in their entirety. What its advocates want is not a restoration of explicit Jim Crow segregation—that would shatter the illusion that their own achievements are based in a color-blind meritocracy. They want an arrangement that perpetuates racial inequality indefinitely while retaining some plausible deniability, a rigged system that maintains a mirage of equal opportunity while maintaining an unofficial racial hierarchy. Like elections in authoritarian countries where the autocrat is always reelected in a landslide, they want a system in which they never risk losing but can still pretend they won fairly.

This is the energy we need in the Senate right now. President Trump can’t do blatantly illegal things and expect a normal confirmation process. He wants to screw our systems to enrich corrupt billionaires? We will defy the norms for THE PEOPLE.

NEW: Sen. @brianschatz says he will place a
"blanket hold" on all of Trump's State
Department nominees until USAID is back up and running again

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

I really wanted to hear @katharinehayhoe.com talk about the fires in LA and the connection to climate change.

I spotted something that lessens my instinctive oppositional reaction to the essay: """ Challenging generative AI’s influence [....] is not an anti-technology stance. My sci-fi–loving heart soars at the possibilities for human advancement AI can accomplish in medicine and neurotechnology. """

Raymond Yee @rdhyee.bsky.social · 13/11/2024

Thanks for sharing this article. I've been looking for compelling, intelligent "burn-it-all-down" cases against generative AI (even as I still use the tools myself at this point). I'll see to what degree I agree with the piece after studying it.

Huh. I was going to wait on buying a new computer and phone but this post has gotten me thinking.
