These are terrific links, Elizabeth, as ever. I was looking especially at the one about AI. I know AI can be really helpful in a lot of ways, but I can't help wondering what its consequences will ultimately be. What a lot to think about!
I think it has a lot of beneficial uses, but some alarming ones, too!
