I'll say again: if things don't change then, 10, 15 yrs, people'll be getting jobs like "Dr" or "judge" or "researcher" or w/e after an "AI Forward" education, & the rest of us will have to figure out what to do when supposed domain experts have no actual expertise. That's when the Real "fun" starts
This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.

Julie S. Lalonde@julieslalonde.bsky.social · 6d agoBeing GenX/Millennial is such a trip. In our lifetimes, we saw people our age getting wild criminal penalties for pirating music and now have to sit and watch as companies gobble up our work with impunity.

Instead of the talk I spent hours preparing, they urged me to switch to a fireside chat and talk about my professional “journey.” But… this is the journey. And walking away is also movement.
So let me know if you want to come to a virtual talk next wk on “Reimagining Leadership.“ Time tbd. The focus is on cultivating critical, creative, and caring capacities in medicine, but I think it applies beyond that. I’m pretty sure we can do this without any leaders.
A friendly reminder for my fellow American procrastinators: if you filed for an automatic extension on your 2025 tax return back in April, this is your last weekend to get that done before your new deadline of October 15.
