@amelia_tweetz 100% Ask Jeeves was real. One of my early marketing agency jobs had its competitor for a client. Ask Jeeves was our nemesis with its better traffic.

@BenPopeCST Have parked in Lot B for the past 10 years. Lot is more full this year and it’s a little slower getting out. Lot C for preseason was a total pain to leave.

The constant hype around extraordinary AI feats can intimidate people and erode confidence. The frontier is exciting, but it shouldn't define success for everyone.

You don't need to build agents to get value from AI. You need to understand where and how it fits into your work.

[Susan Westwater @SJW75]

AI literacy isn’t just knowing when the model might be wrong. It’s knowing when the model is telling you exactly what you want to hear.

@TaylorHaasePGH The data is overwhelming. So you let “data” and not common sense tell you Hot for Hockey is not it? Thank you for asking and making him at least own it.

Based on today's banter with ChatGPT, I have it on good authority we're all good with this whole destruction of humanity. I knew @BrianRoemmele was right (but for valid reasons)!
Also, yes, I have a little fun sometimes with the conversational prompts.

@NotKennyRogers This didn’t age well (at least during present OT)

@DawnsMission It’s also used on high performance show horses. The nice thing is that the human formulations we personally use don’t smell as strong. It’s made a major difference to help with pain and inflammation.

PSA for Anyone Creating AI Writing Tools like Grammarly: It's not helpful to call out "this sounds like AI" and then suggest similar AI text. Instead, explain the writing style or grammar issue. That way, you're actually helping people improve their writing.

@BrianRoemmele First to know is not fun for a lot of this. Thank you for trying to help folks prepare.

Quick reminder that having a "48-hour rule" (as in giving a breaking story 48 hours before solidifying one's position or reaction) is a solid strategy, particularly in politics and tech.

@shaunvlog_ You would enjoy a Farm & Fleet or a “general store” in the Midwest. Add that to your list after Bass Pro

@kateiswell Maybe Froglet is the friend’s burner account?

@GilesLMcKenzie @Hertz Had something similar happen to us for a road trip. I had prepaid for an Escalade which ended up totaled by the previous renter. As the rep and I went out to figure what could work instead she told me on the side to never pre-pay because it’s less flexible for “fixes”

@BrianRoemmele This blows my mind a bit, and unfortunately, is relevant to some present-day situations.

[Susan Westwater @SJW75]

@landon20s Blanket bans don't work. A better approach is to show how to use AI so that it augments and supports critical thinking instead of outsourcing it.

[Susan Westwater @SJW75]

@BrianRoemmele Thank you for your efforts around this. There are so many better ways to approach AI usage that will ultimately prepare students for the workplace and teach them how to use it for better outcomes.

[Susan Westwater @SJW75]

@BrianRoemmele Thank you. Please say it louder for those in the back. This needs a very bright light shone upon it.

[Susan Westwater @SJW75]

@bernsteinres @reservoirfarms Wishing we were closer to see it all up close and personal. Love what you have been building.

[Susan Westwater @SJW75]

@shaunvlog_ Some incredible waterfalls, gorgeous fishing and hiking, and also an incredible farmer who is my source for freezer beef and pork. I'm sure they'd give you a tour.
