I went w/ this pic & <50-word bio:

"Jeff sees himself as an endurance/concept artist and poet. But most folks see him as a Dad from Edmonton with a decent beard and ADHD. He has two adult children, two rescue dogs, and has been madly in love with the same lowkey juggernaut since the late 1900s."

I had a little poem accepted for publication in a little publication and I have to send a photo with my short bio. I might need help making the selection.

Are you saying you hold a less than 99% certainty?

10.03.2026 22:28 πŸ‘ 0 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

Tomorrow’s AI models are learning from today’s polluted research The data that AI models train on is changing in ways policymakers aren't yet attuned to.

AI will be used to spread disinformation. Be afraid.

"In the United States, politically aligned actors are actively constructing a parallel ecosystem of academic journals, think tanks, and government-backed research bodies that cite and reinforce one another."
