Trump says that price of beef is down. The receipt from my last trip to the grocery store says it is up. For busy shoppers, it can be hard to know who to trust.

1.) My 83 year old dad had his first brush with AI this week He's a lawyer -- longtime readers know he got laid off in his 50's and got his law degree at 58, which is relevant because of proud he always was for getting that degree.

As a law librarian at a large law school, do you know how refreshing I find it every time a student recoils at the thought of using AI in practice?
So. Refreshing. And (at least, so far) it's happened more often than one might think.
