    Really, fund managers? This was it, this is what tipped you off? It wasn’t:

    • The multiple times he tore up and then attempted to flush official presidential documents…and even ate some of them
    • The time he shirked all of our allies to cozy up to dictators who clearly use him as a Manchurian candidate at the expense of the American people
    • the time he said he would divest from his businesses but then never actually did, and then built a hotel within walking distance to the White House, clearly breaking all sorts of the nations norms right out the gate
    • The times he went bankrupt 7 freaking times and yet continues to call himself a successful fucking businessman
    • The time he deliberately hid archives of records from the American people in his bathroom and then, when discovered, said they were his
    • The time he said he hated “losers” who die for their country
    • The time Kamala broke his brain during their first debate and he went off on a incoherent diatribe
    • the time he negotiated with literal terrorists
    • The time he redrew a map of the US to show a hurricane hit Alabama
    • The time he said it was a beautiful sunny day when it was clearly raining
    • The time he gave a hate speech for his inauguration
    • the time his language was deemed so toxic and offensive that he was banned from Twitter
    • The time he fell in love with one of the most inhumane dictators in the world
    • the multiple times he lied about his golf game to the point that it was a running joke to those that played with him
    • the time he called himself the messiah and your salvation
    • The time he danced for hours at a rally instead of saying anything
    • That time he simulated deepthroating a microphone in front of 1000s of people
    • the time he ate pizza backwards with a goddamn fork
    • the time he wanted to commit multiple crimes against humanity to develop the Gaza Strip into a strip of hotels
    • The time he pardoned all of the people who sacked the capitol and tried to kill both the Vice President and the Speaker of the House

    When a person is showing you who they are 500 times over, believe them.

    I guess I’m in the minority then, and that’s fine by me.

    • AI generated meeting notes make it easy to produce summaries and action items for all parties, including those who couldn’t make the meeting
    • I can give Copilot a few sentences recounting a story and what key points I want to convey in an essay and it writes most of it for me, often in a more professional sounding tone than I would have written. I spend 5 minutes in the front and 5 minutes on the back and it cuts down the remaining 30 minutes to hour it would have taken.
    • I’ve used it to find and replace portions of code and XML. I’ve used it to redact PII in user stories. I’ve used it to assist me in making SOWs and help content more clear and robust.
    • Education is using it to help identify college students who need more support prior to dropping out.
    • Biologists recently used it to help determine the folding patterns of nearly every protein that does or could exist, which will likely lead to very precise medications that combat cancers and illnesses.
    • Per a recent Malcolm Gladwell podcast I heard, fire chiefs can now use AI to listen to multiple radio channels at the same time in a large fire fighting scenario and have it identify firefighters who are in the most distress, therefore mitigating risk and saving lives.

    AI is buzzy now, and buzz deserves a healthy bit of scrutiny. As we move down the hype curve, I think we’ll achieve a certain threshold that’s going to vastly improve the human experience and perhaps improve how we live with rest of this planet too.

    They say that a beam of light doesn’t understand time. That if you were to travel at the speed of light, a ray of light would just be one long line with a start and end point.

    They also say that a beam of light has infinite possibilities to get to a destination, and the destinations it can get to are infinite as well. As in life, it’s all in the journey.

    But that makes me wonder about things like pi. It’s a journey that is never ending. If a ray of light followed the path of pi, it never reaches its destination. It is truly immortal.
