Pro-tip: “LLMs generate statistically probable responses to prompts, not factual answers to questions.”

Outside of my day job, I’m thinking about #FoodInsecurity, #ClimateChange, and #cities. I experiment with #hydroponics, #UrbanAgriculture, and #SensorNetworks to try and create more #ResilientCommunities.

Six Word Memoir: Clever, creative, and occasionally quite crazy.
I like #Cats, #Podcasts, #Accessibility, #CivilRights, #BodyAutonomy, #LGBTQ people, #Progressive politics, #MentalHealth, #SuicidePrevention, #utpol, #utah, #MCU, #Spiderverse, #Farscape, #RedDwarf, and a bunch of other random things.

Anti-DEI is white supremacy. Black lives matter. LGBT+ rights are human rights. Healthcare, security, a decent income, and housing with dignity are human rights. Abortion is healthcare. Science is our best hope. Kindness and empathy are the noblest of human traits.

It can ALWAYS get worse.
