All good things must come to an end, and that includes my time at the Lexington Herald-Leader. I don’t have anything profound to say now, but I want to put out there what an honor and privilege it has been to cover my home state with this incredible crew.

I especially feel for young people who are being told: Learn to use AI but also AI is going to take all the jobs; you must use AI in this class but never that class; care about the world but disregard the environmental impacts; believe in yourself but don’t trust your own brain more than the tech.
