A lot of things get conflated in the term “AI” as short hand. (We are guilty too. We put “AI” in our talk title to make it sexy, but in reality we were focused on LLMs—large language models. But that’s a terrible acronym for general audience. So slide was to come clean).

So and I created this venn diagram of concepts/product in AI for our talk on the future of news.
Feedback/corrections? Still tweaking. (We moved Deep Blue bc staff told us we had it in wrong place and they knew bc “We have the box.”)

Hate how paternalistic United is over conflicting reservations with threats to cancel.
Maybe customers are booking flights at the same time because they DON’T KNOW what city/day ultimately will be flying from.
With no change fees now, makes sense to book cheaper earlier.

Goodside friend group (built from Sundance) hosted AI talk in NYC.
made talk slides artsy because he thought “film people.” As he setting up, I’m like, Um, there are a bunch of STEM PhDs MDs from MIT, Brown, Harvard.
Graceful pivot.
Know who is in your audience!

First talk in NYC—on GPT to the Goodside community: 5 PhDs incl. a Columbia sociology prof, a Harvard med prof, lawyers, filmmakers, & entrepreneurs. Dinner from @xianfoods!
A lesson from @edwardbenson and @jenny8lee: simpler slides = more relaxed speaking.

Got in a taxi at Boston airport (too much luggage to walk to Uber area). Ask driver if he has a pairing app to pay. He does, called Arrow. Then we wait until it’s awkward. He says, “So where do you want to go?” I start laughing, because I forgot you have to tell taxi drivers.

Today the @FCC began the process of limiting what people in prison have to pay for phone calls. This is the biggest-yet federal effort to bring down prison phone costs, and private prison telecom companies have fought it tooth and nail.
