for the love of god, we all know the horrendous origin story of thanksgiving, and still enjoy the time off afforded by the holiday. regardless of the performative act of going around the table and sharing the things we’re thankful for. or of eating turkey or not, let me just enjoy my time off.

Journalist challenge: Use “Machine Learning” when you mean machine learning and “LLM” when you mean LLM. Ditch “AI” as a catch-all term, it’s not useful for readers and it helps companies trying to confuse the public by obscuring the roles played by different technologies. 🧪

The AAA app is confusing and the locations are not loading correctly so we’re all going to the Marriott for sessions that are at the Sheraton and vice versa. Not cool especially given how much it costs to attend the yearly conference.
