Al and Authenticity Struggles Hey Shaundai, I saw your post about feeling let down by Al and how it's just weights and biases pretending to understand. It's so real, I've been there too. Thanks for sharing such an honest take. From what I've seen, the depth of your work feels like the kind of insight that belongs in a book - not for attention, but as something others in the field can learn from and return to. This might be totally out of the blue, but have you started working on a book? I help product professionals and other leaders turn their content into finished, credible books that reflect their real voice. Is that a direction you're moving toward now?
Me: Two questions: Can you tell me more about what they want to understand about Al? There are a bunch of different domains within Al and I want to point you to something relevant Does it have to be a book? I feel like Al is changing sooo fast that the contents of a book might be outdated by the time it gets delivered lol. An online course might be a better option Sister: yes! so one thing that was communicated to me already was that this year, as they were reviewing admissions applications, some of the personal statements were a little too perfect (in syntax, language, etc.) my guess is, they want to understand how grad-level students might be using it and strategies to embrace it responsibly. i don't know if it has to be a book. and that really was my first thought - as soon as you publish the book about it, it's already gone through 3 new iterations. but if you do have online course recommendations, that would be helpful

Article text: The U.S. has lost its last triple-A credit rating. Moody's Ratings downgraded the U.S. government on Friday, citing large fiscal deficits and rising interest costs. Expanding budget deficits mean U.S. government borrowing will rise at an accelerating rate, pushing interest rates up over the long term, Moody's said. The firm said Friday that it didn't believe that any current budget proposals under consideration by lawmakers would do anything significant to reduce the persistent gap between government spending and revenues. The move strips the U.S. of its last remaining triple-A credit rating from a major ratings firm, following similar cuts by Fitch Ratings in 2023 and S&P Global Ratings in 2011. Moody's downgraded the U.S. to Aal, a rating also held by Austria and Finland. "Successive U.S. administrations and Congress have failed to agree on measures to reverse the trend of large annual fiscal deficits and growing interest costs," Moody's wrote in a statement.
