I just got rickrolled by AI. I uploaded a QR code from a work presentation to Gemini 2.5 Pro to see if it could read it. After initially telling me it was some generic text, this is what it came up with:

I asked Claude to build me a grocery checklist. Now, within the Claude app on my phone, I can take a picture of a handwritten grocery list, or an email with a grocery list, and it will automatically categorize it and create a checklist. I didn't even ask for the cute emojis.

I just re-read a paper I wrote on The City of God in my first semester of grad school thirty years ago. The writing wasn't stellar, but the questions are more critical today. How can "the city of this world" find a common good "when there are no goods but the things of time to afford it happiness"?

Hmm . . . What to do with this Bluesky space? How about one interesting sci/tech article a day:
"An unexpected secondary result was that the LLM alone performed significantly better than both groups of humans, similar to a recent study with different LLM technology."
