Nice summary of the current state of LLMs in a non-technical sense. My observation is that the bloom quickly falls from the rose once you start working with them regularly. They are repetitive, make silly mistakes and frequently don’t save the time you hoped they would. What they aren’t is creative or surprising.

Caught the segment of this morning. As a recovering academic, The Tempest is my favorite Shakespeare play, too; looking forward to discussing it. Interesting observations of but I especially thought the rebellious youth theme is likely why it’s banned in jurisdictions. Glad also to see increasing social context analyses of literature. Guess this attack on libraries and public education not all a loss. @velshi

Happy Book Lovers Day! What are some of your favourite/most treasured books in these categories? A few of the books in this video are keepsakes - the oldest book is my mom’s copy of Alice, the newest I just bought on a trip to Salem, and the book I’ve read the most I bought on a trip through Bangor, Maine.

Finished Margaret Atwood’s “The Testaments” in the wee hours and then dreamt about Gilead. Excellent book, but avoid the dreams.
