Every single one of these higher ed exposés is literally the Principal Skinner meme.

Principal Skinner from the Simpsons asking himself if he is out of touch, but the text in the meme says “Are my ideas out of touch and harmful? No, It’s everyone else who is writing and I am going to write an OpEd about it.”

It was a pleasure to be invited by the Cupertino Library and Ainsley House in Campbell as their guest speaker to talk about the history of baseball as America’s Pastime.

I am talking at the Cupertino Library about Ty Cobb as a veteran of the First World War and a baseball star.

I am talking at the Ainsley House in the city of Campbell with a title slide “Baseball Americana.”

I’ve seen some people sharing their fantasy baseball team names this evening as we enjoy the HR Derby, so here’s mine.

I just received my settlement from Facebook, and I am not quite sure what I am supposed to do with all this new-found cash.

I will also be pleased if it is not this beer since I am not a fan, but I’m invested now. I need to know what he got.

Nuts and Gum is a product implied to be created by Homer Simpson. He happily notes that as an 18-to-49-year-old white male, people listen to him "no matter how dumb" his ideas are. He proceeds to take out a can of this product and eat a mouthful of it.

It’s the scene from The Simpsons when the brewers at Red Tick Beer are perfecting a batch, and after tasting it, one of them says, “Needs more dog.” So, I imagine the developers at Anthropic sitting around a table debating how to make their AI moral, and one of them just says “Needs more religion.”

“We are committed to implementing AI in a way that keeps human creativity at the center of everything we do.” How exactly? Because AI does the exact opposite by removing humans from content creation. www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...

“We view advanced technologies, including AI, as a meaningful long-term opportunity,” they write. We see opportunities for AI to play a role across five areas of our business: content creation and production, monetization, workforce productivity, guest and consumer experiences, and enterprise operations. At the same time, we are committed to implementing AI in a way that keeps human creativity at the center of everything we do and respects creators and the value of our intellectual property.”

Happy Easter! And a special shout out to the Easter Bunny I saw at a minor league baseball game in 2014 who stood like this for several innings just rubbing his hands together. Plotting. Scheming.
