I've sometimes used this story as a case study in management decision making. For whatever reason, I've never included consideration of "what would AI do?" That will no longer be the case.

If you want to be on The So What? Project, send me a note & I'll send you an information guide. All you'll do is (1) fill out a form; (2) record yourself answering some questions provided in the guide; (3) send it all in. There's no interview to schedule and you can re-record all you like. Easy!

It’s widely known (and, I think, pretty uncontroversial) that learning requires effort — specifically, if you don’t have to work at getting the knowledge, it won’t stick. Even if an LLM could be trusted to give you correct information 100% of the time, it would be an inferior method of learning it.

If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features." There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.
