When this "AI" bubble pops, the men pretending they weren't pushing the hype, like "critics" whose position is "AGI is real but LLMs aren't the way," who were in eugenicist and "AI existential risk"🙄 circles, will get specials discussing what they saw coming, when its the women who told you so.

What's ominous is all of the trusted women of color who know a lot about AI are saying that a crash is on the way and the white guys are pretending they are taking it to the moon. This means that a crash is definitely on its way.

Today, I got to work in a way that made me feel human.
Working from home, weaving pockets of work between family time and chores. Not worrying about if my Teams icon was green. Bliss.
Unfortunately this was only possible due to working on my day off

I've known a lot of people who work in very real, life threatening, acute crises. I've occasionally tagged along on MUCH less severe deployments. I've always been struck by how important active disengagement is. Time off is sacrosanct. It is mission critical to prevent burnout & operational failure

If you're an expert in your field but still occasionally feel a tinge of imposter syndrome, just have a look at some of the current ACIP lineup.

You are absolutely correct. Like, as a current fed now reading up on actual marketing vs. the science comms I’ve always relied on. Yes!
One thing this admin is really good at is a LOT of repetition of a few ideas (bonus points if using language they have heard their base use). Marketing 101.

This as a really clear example of the kind of top-down, suffocating, micromanaging that agencies and frontline staff are dealing with from their departments.
Insult to moral injury.
Also, as a former CDC-er, the bullet about HHS studies was a dead giveaway that frontline staff weren’t involved 🥲

Oh, so now it’s a crime to bring your whole self to work
So apparently my company can't remove the guy cooking his beets and tuna in the air fryer. People have picked up and moved their desks because of it. One guy said he was at his desk seasoning chicken breasts.
People are livid.
