Genuinely cannot believe it’s been a year since I got laid off. I was devastated. I *am* devastated. I loved my job so much. I loved working with scientists everyday.
I’m also still looking for my next job, so if you know anybody that needs a stellar comms person, let me know. Remote or in Boston.

Well, anybody hiring? Just found out my last day is Friday.
Mass General Brigham said it will let go of hundreds of employees in the next two months, the largest layoff in the organization’s history, as the health system grapples with financial shortfalls and operational challenges.

My doomer-worry about AI is not that the LLMs become omnipotent and take over the world but that the wealthy and powerful use it as a means to consolidate power and marginalize or lay off skilled workers and also everything about our technological and political and social life gets worse

This is also the greatest gift college professors in the humanities could receive.
I think the greatest gift college professors in the humanities can give to students right now is a seminar room where, for 80 minutes twice a week, nothing that happens to them is a sales pitch for an AI product.

The first think you learn in this business is reporting the news and communicating the news are two separate, intertwined jobs.
The demolition of this business has long been a function of the money people not understanding that fact.
AI can't write. And even if it could, that's not reporting.

Reporting requires relationships and therefore it fundamentally can't be performed by LLMs. The reason why tech vultures and media CEOs talk about AI revolutionizing journalism is because they see journalism as a set of slop mills rather than newsrooms that produce new information
if we do, in some grim future, give up and decide to cede the entire practice of reporting to LLMs generating stories from their inherently out-of-date training models, we will miss huge amounts of often exceedingly important information. to an extent that I believe would rapidly turn deadly.

Yessss. One of my favourite talks of all time, now with more details! 👀
over a year ago, i gave a talk at the xoxo conference about a mural, a mcdonald’s, and a man. (but it was also secretly about life, and legacy, and meaning.)
finally, i’m blogging the full story, with behind-the-scenes details, and a video of the talk.

This makes me so sad. I've been watching his work for a very long time, right from the jump, even, as the bully in Angus. If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend you watch Don't Trust the B in Apartment 23, his performance is outstanding.
