I was having a conversation with a 40s attorney, parent to 3 teenagers - who didn't know what an LLM stood for. In the moment I just shared some AI basics (I consult on emerging tech), but afterwards, it dumbfounded me. Were they just an outlier or is there still a big lack of basic AI literacy?

James Cromwell popped into my head for some unknown reason, and a little online search reminded me - beyond him being a phenomenal actor who can play the widest swath of characters - what an inspiring activist he is. www.theguardian.com/film/2025/se...

He marched against the Vietnam war, supported the Black Panthers, has protested over animal rights, ended up in prison after a climate sit-in – and starred in Babe, LA Confidential and Succession. He ...

Honestly, Bank of America is appalling. You have to maintain a 30K (?!) balance now to not incur a $25 a month fee for your account even if you have additional business accounts linked. Plus wire fees. so gross. I need to find a new bank stat. I wish I hadn’t set up my new corp account there. #rant

Deep-sea sponge geometry strengthens metamaterials and suppresses flow-driven vibrations
