Continuing to reflect on Ben Sasse’s life and commentary on the U.S. politic - Here, an 8-year old interview on CNN where he’s trying to keep the focus on what’s important: helping the American public, even in the midst of party talk.

I think this makes a lot of sense for CPA licensure in Maryland:

\n

As an alternative to the additional 30 hours of formal education (on top of the always required accounting bachelor’s degree), CPA candidates can instead use two years or 4,000 hours of qualifying professional experience.

Seems very reasonable...

It is not possible to provide a single, comprehensive definition of AI. What can be stated, however, is that we must avoid the misconception of equating this type of “intelligence” with that of human beings. These systems merely imitate certain functions of human intelligence. In doing so, they often surpass human intelligence in speed and computational capacity, offering tangible benefits across many fields. Yet this power remains entirely tied to data processing. So-called artificial intelligences do not undergo experiences, do not possess a body, do not feel joy or pain, do not mature through...

@curiouskyle Makes me think of the Peter Drucker quote:
