Thanks to @TribLIVE's @KellenStepler for including me. My short version: I'm less worried about AI going rogue than about how people might misuse it — and the nearer-term hit to jobs and the economy. AI safety and alignment need to be taken seriously and, ideally, regulated.
Can AI really destroy humanity? Here's what Pittsburgh researchers think triblive.com/business/techno…
Claude Projects have no folders, no tags, no labels. Just a flat list.
I found a 30-second workaround that gives you tag-based filtering AND a folder-like hierarchy. Works on Claude, not on ChatGPT.

What a day. Absolutely amazing covering the NFL Draft and I have SO many images to share. I figured that I'd start with one of the more unique ones, a view from the roof of the Steel Building in #Pittsburgh showcasing the 320,000 plus people that showed up today. Amazing.

Five years ago today, Donald Trump urged his supporters to attack Congress and the Capitol over a proven lie. More than 140 police officers were injured.
Trump then pardoned the attackers.
He betrayed his oath and his country, and we won't ever forget it.

Five years ago today, a violent mob brutally attacked the U.S. Capitol on January 6.
Their mission was to overturn a free and fair election.
We will never allow extremists to whitewash their treachery.
Excited to present today our new paper on detecting text-to-SQL prompt injection attacks at the LLMs Meet Databases (LMD 2025) workshop, held in conjunction with @IEEEorg CASCON 2025. Joint work with Zi Han Ding.

Assault weapons are weapons of war that were designed to kill a lot of people quickly.
They have no place on the streets of civil society.
It is time to renew the assault weapons ban.

Today @POTUS and @VP announced the American Climate Corps — an initiative to train young people for careers that help tackle climate change.
This is an important step forward, and wouldn't be possible without the organizing efforts of young people across the country.
Today, we are mobilizing the next generation of clean energy, conservation, and climate resilience workers.

What a morning in #Pittsburgh today.
It took forever for the fog to make it up the Ohio River and into downtown, but when it finally did, it created some amazing scenes. This one of the sunlight breaking through the fog above the incline is an early favorite.
Lots more to come.
