Albuquerque, NM, has become the largest U.S. city to permanently make public transportation free for everyone. The city found that fares didn’t cover the administrative fees, so they actually save money by making public transportation free.

Learned a new word today:

respair

From the 16th century. It means "fresh hope, and recovery from despair."

I wish you all a year filled with respair.

Please feel free to pass it on to others; this one needs to be spread around, I think.

Create an alter ego.
Or think about a problem or challenge not as one you're facing, but as one faced by another person. Take a step back, create some space from the emotions that may affect your judgment, and gain greater perspective.
You'll almost always make better decisions -- better long-term decisions.
Which, although it sounds paradoxical, will make it more likely you'll become the person you want to become.

“Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”
― Steve Jobs

Avoiding the twin pitfalls of unexamined enthusiasm and reactionary skepticism, Simon is thoughtfully embracing generative AI. Its newly launched generative AI initiative will ensure that students have the right blend of fundamental and specialized skills not just to use tools like ChatGPT, but to use them wisely. These students will soon join a family of alumni who is navigating the introduction of generative AI in a wide range of industries and functions.
Whether it is a student using generative AI as a next-generation tutor or an alum leveraging this technology to fill an unmet market need, the Simon community is working hard to stay ahead of the curve.
