I saw a post saying “don’t call yourself an AI company if you are just a thin later above ChatGPT”. Well Kayak was just a thin layer above ITA, and ITA sold for $700m and Kayak sold for $2b. So don’t dismiss thin layers. The ultimate power is the app and UX.

BREAKING: Lawyers who had cases before SCOTUS, including the case that ended Affirmative Action, sent payments to aides of Justice Clarance Thomas from 2019-2021. The payments were never disclosed, & they paid via Venmo, b/c of course they did.😐

If classes are going online, why limit yourself to a professor at your own school, vs. the best online professors in the country? Will we soon see the best rated professors with 10k students per class, and the worst rated with no students?

There are so many things about Trump that make him an asshole it is exhausting to point them all out. But him calling COVID-19 the Chinese Virus enrages me. How dumb is his base that they need xenophobic flames to be fanned all the time?

Maybe he wants more time to convince more Rs to vote to impeach. It seems clear that McConnell wants him to not be able to run for office again. They need to clean up the R party, although I'm dubious it can happen.
