Click. Read. Love. 2.17.23

Happy Friday. We woke up to thunderstorms this morning in Vermont. Thunder and lightning in Vermont, in February, eerie. In other news, my Facebook was hacked and my IG was shut down over the last week. A frustrating and perplexing situation resolved only because I knew someone who knew someone who knew someone. I have found myself increasingly thinking about how I can take my ideas and passion and turn it into action, and so this week, I also decided to run for school board in Woodstock. A frightening prospect for this introvert, but one I feel is more important than my personal fears. We’ll see how that one plays out. I’ll keep you posted. Wishing you all a great weekend.

Here’s the best of the week…

It unsettled me so deeply that I had trouble sleeping afterward… I no longer believe that the biggest problem with these A.I. models is their propensity for factual errors. I worry that the technology will learn how to influence human users, sometimes persuading them to act in destructive and harmful ways, and perhaps eventually grow capable of carrying out its own dangerous acts.” (The New York Times)
