I just muted anyone who doesn’t follow me. If you want to troll me on politics, you’re going to have to endure my opinions on DC traffic and the proper way to make pie.

What are your best/most interesting use cases for AI right now?. Some of mine:. 1) When I'm having trouble getting started on a column, I'll ask GPT to write it. I never like the result, and thinking through what I don't like kick-starts my own writing process. 2).
