Thanks Chris! NOAA’s AI use & the newly proposed House Bill for AI education put a smile on my face. It will also be interesting to see how Iowa schools do with Amira. Biasedly, as someone who is dyslexic I would’ve loved to try this as a kid for leaning how to read. The Colorado one is intriguing. I think it will have even wider effects nationwide and in different industries if it ends up working really well. The FEC request details surprised me. I had not heard the deepfake & misinformation issues specific to Grok & X-AI. This is concerning - especially considering their owner is very vocal on who he does and does not support. Thanks for all you do to put this together!
