“ The point of college is to help students become independent humans who can choose the gods they serve and the rules they follow rather than allow someone else to choose for them.” Living Deliberately l Existential Despair via @NYTOpinion #education nytimes.com/2023/05/25/opini…
“There is no time in our history in which the humanities, philosophy, ethics and art are more urgently necessary than in this time of technology’s triumph,” via @NYTOpinion #AI #technology #humanities #English #literature #art #history #philosophy nytimes.com/2023/05/27/opini…
“A.I. might now be enabling the final layer of abstraction: the level on which you can tell a computer to do something the same way you’d tell another human.” via @NYTOpinion #AI #programming #software #coding #IT nytimes.com/2023/06/02/opini…

“The idea that one would have to choose between #mathematics and #literature is something of a tragedy, as the two fields are inextricably, and fundamentally, linked. Understanding these links can enhance your enjoyment of both.” via @NYTOpinion. nytimes.com/2023/04/07/opini…

ALT This is a photograph of a moss-covered rock in a creek during the early winter. The rock is surrounded by leaves. The photography is taken by a human (me). The words, or poetry, were created by ChatGPT, a new sophisticated A.I. chatbot, during an experiment that I ran using the following prompt: "Explain the virtues of moss on a rock during the autumn in poetic fashion." The words of the poem are as follows: “In autumn's crisp and cool embrace, The moss upon the rock doth trace A verdant carpet, soft and green, A natural tapestry serene. This humble plant, so small and low, Brings life and color to the stone And as the seasons change and fade, The moss remains, a steadfast shade. It shelters creatures great and small, A haven for them one and all, And as the leaves fall from the trees, The moss provides the perfect breeze. So let us celebrate the moss And all the beauty that it brings, For in the autumn's golden glow , It is a sight to truly behold."

"The world is blanketed in white
As snowflakes dance and twirl in flight
The air is crisp and still as ice
As the winter winds begin to slice"

“ […] you are going to draw a whole bunch of lessons about overcoming #challenges, #adversity, etc., and you don’t have to be that smart to join the dots to the same lessons that come in life.” - “Every problem has a solution.” #lifelessons via @NYTimes nytimes.com/2022/12/06/magaz…
“What’s dangerous is developing a concept of self through social media’s opinion. […] Develop a sense of self by the work you do, by building your own confidence, by listening to your own voice.
