I'll be a panelist on this virtual forum tomorrow.

@benedictevans TV and newspapers couldn't monitor you as you interacted with them, nor could they use AI to learn the things that you specifically pay more attention to.

@jkottke I had the exact same reaction, except I stopped after 2. I did watch the last 15 minutes of the finale though, just to see who was in the box.

@DamonRutherford @JPosnanski To get genius you need to get about 2/3s of the possible points. So if you look at the points for genius you can get a good estimate. Today the total should be around 150 points.

@josephinewrites Putting things in your contacts should work. Some people do it so their swear words aren’t autocorrected.

@zeynep Some colleagues and I in Digital and Computational Studies at Bowdoin have a paper coming out soon that is closely related to this concept. Since everything we do involves interdisciplinary work we are developing a framework on how to do it.

@jkottke Maine started yesterday! My daughter gets her first shot tomorrow.
