Right? I have read so many books and articles on AI and have interviewed a number of its developers . . . sorry to say, Claude is smarter on Claude than they are (and, yes, that creeps me out . . .)

WASHINGTON (AP) — Supreme Court seems likely to expand president's power and back Trump's firing of independent-agency board members.

Blue Hour. The "blue super moon", August 2024. #moonlight #seascape #nightsky #oceanview #reflection #naturelovers #landscapehunter #twilight #bluehour #coastallife #scenicview #nightshoot #smartphonephotography #photography
A vertical, atmospheric photograph of a seascape at twilight. A bright, reddish-orange moon sits low on the horizon, casting a vibrant, shimmering reflection across the dark, rippling ocean waves. Above, the sky is a deep, moody blue filled with textured clouds. In the foreground, the dark, jagged silhouettes of coastal rocks anchor the bottom left of the frame, contrasting with the glowing water.

Two months after President Donald Trump signed an executive order restricting H-1B visas, soaring costs are roiling rural health care facilities that have long struggled to find staff.
Rural America relies on foreign doctors. Trump’s visa fee shuts them out.
The Trump administration’s demand for companies to pay a $100,000 fee to hire an immigrant worker using an H1B visa has created turmoil among rural health providers.

This interview about Claude and with Claude is one of the most interesting I've read about what AI can and can't do. I'd love to hear what people who really know music think about this. Fascinating! The Missing Now open.substack.com/pub/dadadrum...

This really is a must read for anyone in academia.
When my business school colleagues insist that ChatGPT is “just another tool in the toolbox,” I’m tempted to remind them that Facebook was once “just a way to connect with friends.” But there’s a difference between tools and technologies. Tools help us accomplish tasks; technologies reshape the very environments in which we think, work, and relate. As philosopher Peter Hershock observes, we don’t merely use technologies; we participate in them. With tools, we retain agency—we can choose when and how to use them. With technologies, the choice is subtler: they remake the conditions of choice itself. A pen extends communication without redefining it; social media transformed what we mean by privacy, friendship, even truth.

In the foreground are the silhouettes of trees. One branch of a tree is hanging right across the top of the photo. Above the horizon, the sky is bright yellow and gold but there are many grey storm clouds above that.

Mamdani: Oftentimes when we win elections, we tell people to go home and just trust us. But the message really has to be that we want you to come along with us… That’s something we’ve been looking to share with New Yorkers: We want to not only win with New Yorkers, but also govern with New Yorkers.

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service
