The Today Show remembers longtime Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan, dead at 100. No mention is made of Greenspan’s misguided devotion to the tortured obsessions of Ayn Rand, the Anti-Communist author of romantic fantasy novels. It can be inferred from his admission that he was wrong about financial markets being self-regulating.

Waiting for Oliver or Someone Like Him
This post from last September is currently receiving more views than any other. Comments for it continue to be submitted for approval.
So, what the heck. I entered a comment on the latest Substack post by the alleged human lifeform who calls himself Oliver Kornetzke.
Last September, on my blog I wondered if you are an AI construct. My site doesn’t get a significant number of views, but that post receives the largest number of them. Why? Because others share my doubts.
The first sentence of your essay here doesn’t sway me from the possibility that I am reading something generated by AI, or at least someone needing help writing and relying upon AI:
[“It’s illegal to sleep in your car but the dealership down the road can leave forty cars idling unsold in a lot for a decade and that’s just “inventory,”]
It is not true that sleeping in your car, in and of itself, is illegal. Car dealers don’t leave cars “idling.” That implies the engines are running. Rather, the cars are sitting idle. No dealer would ever leave a car unsold for a decade.
Based on those nonsensical assertions, I see no point in reading past that opening sentence. So, my question to you is, are you real? If so, where is there some biographical information about you?
If you are inclined to indulge this request, I can provide the link to my post. Or you can simply search for yourself, and look for, “Is This Guy for Real?”
As a former broadcast journalist, I am looking for facts, and seeking to have my doubts confirmed or refuted. Thank you.

Not Taking the Bait
Of the political journalists on national TV, Trump seems to favor Jonathan Karl at ABC. On Friday’s Washington Week, Karl demurred on Jeffrey Goldberg’s request for a comment on the obvious decline in the way Trump expresses himself.
Green Water and Land
Thanks to his no-bid contract, Trump has turned the reflecting pool to an algae-covered green.
So, what’s the status of Trump’s mad goal of acquiring Greenland?
LLM Explains It All?
A company that interests me is Open Evidence. They use AI to collect authoritative medical research and process the information for presentation to physicians.
There’s a study that claims Large Language Models that aren’t medically specific generate results that are superior to Open Evidence. As you would expect, Open Evidence isn’t letting that claim go unchallenged.
In other medical information technology news, there’s a good, old-fashioned ransomware hack over at Amazon’s company, One Medical.
