With so much news out there, how can anyone make sense of it all? This blog is a Boomer’s conversation with AI, exploring today’s biggest topics

About the Blog

This blog is all about curiosity, conversation, and a little bit of AI-powered detective work. Every day, I pick a current topic—something in the news, a big question, or just an interesting idea—and run it through AI to see what insights shake loose.

The primary AI I chat with is Beth (ChatGPT), my go-to for hashing things out and getting a solid first take. But I don’t stop there—I cross-check the response with Grok 3 and Google AI to see if they validate, challenge, or add to the answer. Sometimes they agree, sometimes they don’t, and that’s where things get interesting.

One question often leads to another, and before I know it, I’m tugging at a thread that unravels into a whole new topic. So some days, the blog dives deeper into a previous discussion, following the breadcrumbs to see where they lead. It’s a mix of AI-driven analysis, real-world perspective, and a bit of “let’s see what happens if we push this further.”

No grand agenda, no pretending to have all the answers—just a daily exploration of how AI sees the world, how it stacks up against itself, and what that means for the rest of us.

  • August — When Solutions Exist, But Willpower Fails

    By August, the problem was no longer ignorance. Solutions existed. Not abstract ones. Not academic ones. Practical, proven solutions—already implemented in pieces across the world and even within our own systems. The obstacle wasn’t feasibility. It was priority. If we…

  • June — Endurance
