Spent this morning with the FATE community at @MSFTResearch Montreal. Shared my recent paper and had energizing discussions about where AI is headed. Thanks @o_saja and @QVeraLiao for the invitation!

Every professor's nightmare. My condolences @mark_riedl. Very impressed with how hard they leaned into that sentence.

I had to quickly think of an example off the top of my head. I'm sorry.

I have a new laptop, a box of stickers, and a profound sense of unease with the gravity of the task before me... what are some good ways to select and arrange stickers for new laptop?

Got my daughter's gmail account back! 🥳Wow - that was involved and nerve wracking. Makes me realize how our email addresses are ours... but not actually ours at the same time.🤔

Hey @Google - you just deleted my 11-yo daughter's email account. I made it for her the day she was born. We followed all your rules. Now it's gone - you deleted her online identity. Are you *trying* to be evil???
