- [Musings About Mission](https://www.jerrychacon.com/2023/10/27/musings-about-mission/) - Who am I serving when I rant about AI? Or are those rants undirected cathartic release? I don't know. I don't think that I am partisan in my AI rants. To me, there doesn't seem to be anything inherently leftist (or "right-leaning") in my concern about how humanity will be impacted by AI. So, I
- [Apparently, I make bread](https://www.jerrychacon.com/2023/10/23/apparently-i-make-bread/) - For a number of years now, I have described myself as someone who helps his spouse make bread.

This post resonated with me quite profoundly. Casey mentioned that a key problem for him is picking a side…nominally represented by Geoffrey Hinton on the one side and Jürgen Schmidhuber on the other.
