Lol, I live in New York and am visiting family in Ohio, and got this screen on Bluesky for the first time. Guess I won’t see any art for a week.

Are We in an AI Bubble?

Quote from article: "As unlikely as this scenario sounds, a version of it happened in the not-so-distant past. In his 2021 book, *A World Without Email*, the computer scientist Cal Newport points out that beginning in the 1980s, tools such as computers, email, and online calendars allowed knowledge workers to handle their own communications and schedule their own meetings. In turn, many companies decided to lay off their secretaries and typists. In a perverse result, higher-skilled employees started spending so much of their time sending emails, writing up meeting notes, and scheduling meetings that they became far *less* productive at their actual job, forcing the companies to hire more of them to do the same amount of work. A later study of 20 *Fortune* 500 companies found that those with computer-driven "staffing imbalances" were spending 15 percent more on salary than they needed to. "Email was one of those technologies that made us feel more productive but actually did the opposite," Newport told me. "I worry we may be headed down the same path with AI."

Had a winter of heavy bee losses (common in the region this year), but two of the hives made it through. I’ll start splitting to recover the losses in a few weeks, when the drone brood is half-developed (so the new queens will have mating options).
