So many of us have a dream that one day we’ll be able to surprise our parents with a paid-up mortgage, completely erased debts or some other grand gesture to thank them for their support and sacrifice. While this dream can’t always logistically come true (nor does it need to in order to make parents feel loved and appreciated) it can nonetheless be incredibly inspiring to hear stories of it happening in real life.Over forty years ago, a Texas man named Earl Guynes sold his beloved 1967 Marina blue Chevrolet Camaro in order to afford raising a family. As the man’s son Jared tells the story, it was “sold for diaper money.” Courtesy : Jared GuynesIn a Facebook post, Jared recalled how throughout the years, Earl would have a “twinkle” in his eye anytime the car got brought up. Which seemed to be often, given Jared noted that specific details were “burned into” his brain. “Even though he would never admit it, I knew deep down he loved that car more than any other he had ever owned.”And thus Jared became determined to show his dad "how important he is to me and how good of a job he did being a dad,” in the "biggest, most symbolic [and] most outrageous way" possible: finding a car exactly like his father’s. Of course, this would mean three years of scouring the internet for parts and assembling them, piece by piece, onto a Camaro that was intact but in need of several repairs—and also “nearly in Oklahoma.”. But sure enough, a completely restored version of Earl’s dream car was ready just in time for his 65th birthday. With a brand new set of period correct 15” crager wheels, identical to the set he had in early 80’s, to boot. Courtesy : Jared GuynesAs for how Earl reacted upon seeing his Camaro back from the dead, Jared wrote, “I’ve only seen my dad cry two times in my entire life. Dad only smiles, laughs and selflessly gives his best effort in the service of others. Tonight I saw him cry a third time, as he realized the car in the parking lot that looked just like his old one, was actually his after all. He was shocked. He threw his arms around me.”“It was one of the best moments of my entire life,” he added, “I love you Dad. Thanks for the diaper money.” Courtesy : Jared GuynesAgain, maybe we won’t all be able to honor our parents in this way. But there are plenty of other gestures that convey our appreciation. Never underestimate the power a heartfelt letter, offering to help with a chore, spending quality time together, showing interest in their life, celebrating milestones, and of course, actually saying “thank you.” Gratitude is a neverending process, after all. But still, to those of us that still dream of buying mom and dad that house, stay hopeful. As Jared himself said, “it was impossible. Til one day, it wasn’t.” Watch a full version of the story below:

AI Snake Oil: What Artificial Intelligence Can Do, What It Can’t, and How to Tell the Difference By Arvind Narayanan & Sayash Kapoor  (Princeton University Press, 360 pages, $21.52) Artificial intelligence has become the proverbial elephant in the room. We vacillate between the fear that the mammoth creature will trample us into intellectual oblivion and the gut feeling that a mirage of our own making has duped us. Furthermore, the ongoing hype and hyperbole about AI’s ability to either fix every problem or implement a dystopian-level new world order only exacerbate the situation.  Artificial intelligence is not a figment of our imaginations nor a giant beast programmed to destroy us by surveilling our behavior, censoring our free speech, or stealing our livelihoods. It is also not a “great and powerful Oz” capable of granting our every wish. A new book, AI Snake Oil: What Artificial Intelligence Can Do,  What It Can’t and How to Tell the Difference, aspires to separate the reality from the fantasy. The authors, Princeton University computer scientists Arvind Narayanan and Sayash Kapoor, are gifted with an amazing ability to describe complex technology in simple and engaging language. AI Snake Oil provides a comprehensive history of AI as well as a detailed explanation of the differences between generative AI, predictive AI, and the moderation of AI content. Moreover, the book also serves as a blueprint for vetting AI iterations in terms of their accuracy, reliability, and broader social and commercial applications. AI Snake Oil also weighs in on the perennial question of whether AI is an existential threat. The concept of a manufactured entity with the ability to execute programmed tasks has been the subject of fiction for hundreds of years, with Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein (1818) being perhaps the most archetypical example. While it may seem like ChatGPT catapulted artificial intelligence from the domain of the imagination to that of the quotidian virtually overnight, the road to AI started over 80 years ago. The authors do a masterful job of illustrating the breadcrumb-strewn path from the early days of AI research to the present day. In 1943, neuroscientist Warren McCulloch and logician Walter Pitts developed a mathematical model based on the operational functionality of a neuron that would become the precursor for the earliest prototypes of machine intelligence. McCulloch and Pitts postulated that it was possible to replicate the way a neuron sends a signal to another neuron within the brain by building a mechanical version of a single neuron. Psychologist Frank Rosenblatt achieved this objective in the late 1950s by creating a custom computer that integrated a perceptron camera system. Perceptron was a revolutionary technology in that it could differentiate between different shapes without having the shapes manually programmed into its memory. The perceptron could only execute binary classifications, meaning it could only differentiate between two different inputs. Yet, Rosenblatt’s deus-ex-machina still represented a giant step forward for artificial intelligence. The book’s title, AI Snake Oil, is apropos in that it not only highlights AI’s trajectory from intellectual concept to laboratory test kitchen to commodity product but also in that it reinforces the importance of sincerity and reasoned expectations from product development to marketing to user experience. Much of the contemporary writing about AI advances a narrative that once a technology is created, it automatically separates from the human minds that conceived it like the monster escaping Frankenstein’s laboratory. The authors deviate from this perception by reinforcing the notion that AI’s capacity for good or evil is intrinsically linked to its developers, merchants, and users. As users of AI, we need to be cognizant of the technology’s capability and wary of misleading or exaggerated marketing. Narayanan and Kapoor acknowledge that their book champions the potential of generative AI (AI that can create new content, text, images, audio, etc.) but recommend that society approach predictive AI with measured caution. The authors reference “early studies [that] show the potential of generative AI for assisting writers, doctors, programmers. and many other professionals.” They additionally assert that generative AI has the capability to significantly transform the lives of subsets of the population, including the disabled.  Although Narayanan and Kapoor argue that predictive artificial intelligence that uses “machine learning and statistical analysis to predict future events” has merit in certain circumstances, they maintain that there are significant limitations and risks to its broader application. These limitations have a variety of reasons, including a scarcity of available data, measuring features that do not increase predictability, weak feedback loops, and failure to act strategically on data collected. And, of course, there will always be unpredictable occurrences that take place as a result of randomness or unique circumstances. Moreover, the authors warn that the inaccurate deployment of predictive artificial intelligence could have serious and potentially harmful results. AI Snake Oil is filled with examples of unforeseen consequences of unreliable artificial intelligence. A compelling one is that of the EPIC sepsis model. In 2017, EPIC, a U.S.-based healthcare company that maintains healthcare records on 250 million people in the United States, launched an AI product to detect sepsis. By using the sepsis model, hospitals no longer had to use equipment or staff to collect data on the likelihood that a patient would contract sepsis, effectively saving significant money and resources. The model that was implemented in hundreds of hospitals across the country was widely praised for being a “plug and play” tool that required no customization. However, EPIC claimed that its model was a “ proprietary trade secret” and consequently never released its underlying logic. Furthermore, there were no independent peer-reviewed studies of its efficacy until 2021 (four years after its release), when the University of Michigan released the first independent study. Its findings were startling. EPIC had boasted a relative accuracy rate between 76 and 83 percent, but the study revealed that the model’s relative accuracy was significantly lower, at only 63 percent. Furthermore, it was later discovered that EPIC was paying hospitals millions of dollars in credits, with one of the conditions being the implementation of the sepsis prediction model. EPIC ended up pulling its model from the marketplace in 2022.  Although Narayanan and Kapoor expound upon the present-day dangerous pitfalls of predictive artificial intelligence, they remain hopeful that predictive models will improve as the developers obtain more experience in building them. The authors also write about the role of artificial intelligence in content moderation, particularly on social media platforms. While they are optimistic that AI content moderation will increasingly mimic human content moderation, they reference the challenges of developing moderation strategies that allow for cultural differences, enforce multiple policies, and mitigate moderation evasion. Furthermore, they assert that content moderation should be adaptive to continuous social change. The authors additionally reinforce the need for a firewall on social media platforms between the functional areas that generate revenue streams and those that oversee content. They cite the Reddit model, which engages volunteer users for content moderation instead of employees or contractors, as one to consider emulating. But they also agree that there are inherent challenges in building a business that relies upon volunteers for a core function. I highly recommend AI Snake Oil: What Artificial Intelligence Can Do, What It Can’t and How to Tell the Difference. Arvind Narayanan and Sayash Kapoor have done a marvelous job of demystifying artificial intelligence by explaining the technology’s strengths and weaknesses as a content generator, outcome predictor, and content moderator. Furthermore, they remind us to be wary of attributing too much power to AI. After all, the technology is only a reflection of the humans behind it.

It’s a bit early for Christmas films. Some of our neighbors haven’t yet taken down the spiders and skeletons in their yards, and the weather has just barely started to turn cold. Most Americans are more concerned with finding the right turkey for Thanksgiving than they are with searching for holiday films to put them in a Christmas mood. Like it or not, the season for watching Home Alone, Elf, and It’s a Wonderful Life for the umpteenth time is just around the corner, and this year, the season brings with it a brand new Christmas film that might just become a family classic: The Best Christmas Pageant Ever. The Overview Life in Emmanuel would be a utopia for young Beth Bradley and her brother Charlie if it weren’t for the five Herdman kids. A wild crew at best and bound for the state penitentiary at worst, the Herdmans steal and lie with impunity, set fire to decrepit wood sheds, and take school lunches without so much as a thank you. The only place the Herdmans don’t go is church, that is until Charlie tells them there are snacks to be had at Sunday school. When they don’t evaporate in a cloud of smoke — something Charlie was quite sure would happen the minute the Herdmans walked through the door — they promptly volunteer for all the lead parts in the town’s 75th Annual Christmas pageant, directed for the very first time by Beth’s mom, Grace (Judy Greer). The whole situation puts Grace in the very difficult position of facing down the church’s uppity moms while pulling off a production where “Mary” doesn’t puff on a cigar and the manger isn’t set on fire. It’s only when settling down for the very first rehearsal that Grace realizes she has a much more serious problem on her hands: The kids who volunteered to play Mary and Joseph have never even heard the Christmas story. When they do, they advocate for a scene in which they hang King Herod. The Review The film is based on a book of the same name, and the story has already been committed to the screen (a Christmas special back in 1987), but this rendition adds much-needed depth to the characters in a way that mostly prevents the film’s conclusion from feeling contrived. Usually, Christian films like this one suffer from a signature fault: they tend to prioritize evangelism over storyline and ultimately do a bad job at both. Somehow, Dallas Jenkins (who is famous for his popular television series, The Chosen) managed to direct a film that prioritized telling a good story and therefore serves as good evangelism — for the most part. There are a few moments where Jenkins seems to have gotten very excited about the message and wanted to make sure that the audience got the point, but the film is self-aware enough for the audience to write it off as all in good taste. The film is downright funny and manages to accomplish that very difficult thing we all loved about old Disney films. There’s humor for the kids, and there’s humor for their parents. The film engages in the kind of comedy Roald Dahl employed in The BFG and Harriet Lothrop perfected in The Five Little Peppers and Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle. Absurd things happen, and when they do, they’re both believable and funny. Then there are the choice (and well-chosen) lines for the parents that will make every wannabe church volunteer snicker just a little. It’s a conservative’s movie — there’s a nuclear family, a strong and delightful father figure, a Christ-based message, and not a hint of rainbow to be seen — but it doesn’t quite feel like it. Not only are the audience reviews on Rotten Tomatoes overwhelmingly positive, but the critics couldn’t quite bring themselves to tear it apart, although Variety and the Hollywood Reporter did try. The stellar acting and heartwarming storyline have done well so far at the box office. During its initial week, The Best Christmas Pageant Ever earned $10.8 million across 3,000 theaters and has received warm praise from public voices like Lila Rose. It’s certainly worth taking the whole family to see the film this year in theaters, and it seems quite likely that The Best Christmas Pageant Ever will enter the canon of beloved family Christmas classics that find their way onto our screens at the end of every year.

The American dream felt like it was on life support until earlier this month when citizens took to the polls to vote for a government willing to unleash the market boom that started nearly a decade ago. Under the Biden–Harris administration, home prices skyrocketed. Ordinary Americans have been priced out of purchasing new homes, while high interest rates made it more difficult to sell existing homes to pinched buyers. All of this is happening amid increasing numbers of unhoused citizens roaming our city streets and a millennial generation (of which I’m a part) who have chosen mobility over home ownership. (READ MORE: A Troubling Preview of Harris’ Housing Policies) Who can blame them? The mortgages are just too damn high! Sure, voters rejected Washington, D.C. triggered inflation that was felt at the gas pump and when buying eggs, but it was also noticed in housing too. For our fellow citizens entering the workforce, and even families who had tried to save up money, the purchase of a home has been increasingly out of reach. Democrats promised much of the same. (READ MORE: Inflation, Houses, and You) President-elect Trump, however, will usher in an entirely new era of affordable housing. Both Biden and Harris had plans to further inflate housing prices by growing the number of foreign residents within the country while also giving financial assistance to select homebuyers. This was a recipe for skyrocketing costs, exacerbating the problem. Fortunately, even the most desperate Americans weren’t fooled by these false promises. What we have is an inventory problem. We need to build more homes. The increased inventory will keep markets (and our retirement accounts) happy, homebuilding companies booming, and buyers within reach of achieving the American dream. While some chastised Trump’s brilliant plan to bring about a housing boom, I saw it as generationally changing. Let me tell you why. As the youngest director to sit on the board of a Fortune 500 Company back in 2016, we set out a land options strategy, build out strategy, and then a market strategy. Trump’s housing plan does just that. While Democrats and those who want to grow runaway spending mock Trump’s plan to unlock a portion of the vast acres of land owned by the federal government, giving it back to the people, it’s no laughing matter. It introduces new capacity and new inventory to our housing crisis, instead of new tax dollars and newly added inflation to home prices. In my talks with advisers and administrators likely to join this incoming administration, I’ve stressed that Trump’s housing plan should not be interrupted by shortsighted thinkers. We ought to double down on it. We need a land strategy. We need to be building homes, and new cities, where Americans are migrating. We need prices that create a win for homebuyers and homebuilders. We can do all of this in the golden age proposed by Trump. Too often, the elitist class in America has thought of our country as an economic zone. No longer. America is a homeland with a people and an identity. Americans should own American land and American homes and safe housing. That is the American dream! Everyone should have a stake in the homeland. Bill Pulte is a capitalist and heir of William J. Pulte, the founder of the third largest homebuilder in America, Pulte Homes. For years, he served as the youngest director of a Fortune 500 Company before returning to full-time investing in home services, housing, and philanthropy. He has been a large contributor to Donald J. Trump’s campaigns and PACs since 2016.
