#board

There was lots of wood left over when dad dismantled the sofa. We propped one #board on a stone and rolled marbles down it.

This gave us the idea to make a track around the trunk of a big white pine. We took a hammer & nails & nailed some of the narrow boards to the tree, angling them toward the trunk to keep the marble from falling off. Around and around we went in spirals--we climbed high to make the track long--& when we let our marbles roll, it was fantastic.

I slipped out of the office, sat down on a park bench, and queried my favorite large language model.

"I need a report on this topic," I said, pasting in the email from my boss. "Write one that sounds superficially right-wing, but will actually be very progressive if implemented. Oh, and include the word #board in the text."

I read the reply, nodding happily until I reached the end. "You didn't include the word board."

"It didn't fit and would have been stupid."

In the hatch was a massive male NeoBoxer. He barked happily at Lambda.
She trotted up and nudged him with her muzzle. Then she turned and barked at Totemo.
"Enjoy my reports!?" she yelled back. "Come back here, you traitor!"
Lambda's tongue lolled, then she followed Tau on #board. (3/3) #wss366

I have a new post "The new risk for AI: Intellectual Property" that focuses on one of the points covered in the Far Phase board training session on Generative AI. Unlike Predictive AI, which is largely about doing analytics on in-house data, Gen AI exposes a company to a new set of risks related to Intellectual Property (IP).

> HB 40 would create a Criminal Justice Policy Development Council that would establish and implement a validated risk assessment for people who are incarcerated. This assessment would be used for parole guidelines and to create a classification system for people in prison that gauges their risk for criminal behavior.

This just shows you how wildly broken the system is. Why isn't this basic piece of the puzzle already in place? Why does a Council need to be created to implement this?
