Blogging natural & artificial intelligence–as scientific disciplines, art, policy, and politics. I am interested in EVERYTHING, so strongly advise navigating by the labels at the bottom of posts to find more of whatever brought you here. Originally a series of open letters home from my first academic sabbatical, this gets decreasingly professional as you read back. I also microblog on X, mastodon.social, and bluesky as @j2bryson, and LinkedIn. I look forward to the day we reclaim twitter.
