A Thing That AI Could Actually Help With
Most of the “AI” and LLM things that dominate the zeitgeist lately are not designed to help people, contrary to the hype. They are designed to make filthy rich people richer, at any cost to society. So the lies about what they can actually do, told to the ignorant, are of malicious intent.
Why You See Small Companies With No SSL On Their Website

An Object Lesson On Correction
Friends, I’m telling you, it’s OK to not know a thing. Ignorance is the default condition; stupidity is a choice.
Be curious. Be humble. Be correctable. And be brave enough to push back on both sides of Social Media Toxicity.
