Today I had two interesting opportunities to talk to the Vermont Council on foreign affairs. This is yet another event that I was to have done in person… But ended up as another web meeting. It was really fun. They were a group of very interesting and civic ly engage people from all different parts of the community. We had the former lieutenant governor, retired supreme court justice, real estate people, professors… I was there talking about AI and the Green Mountain’s. It was basically a review of the AI task force… (Which is still going on it turns out)… They were a fantastic bunch of people with great questions. One thing I did notice is that many of them said “I don’t know much about technology”… And then asked very educated questions about technology.… What I thought was funny is that very few people would say “I don’t know much about government” before voicing an opinion… It might be a very good disclaimer that we should all use.… Very fun…

Nite all, nite Sam
