Editor's Note: Just as I was returning from an excellent but exhausting weekend running a conference for my older son's ultra-rare genetic syndrome, my younger son broke his leg. Nothing like recovering from exhaustion by spending several nights sleeping in the pull-out chair/bed in a hospital room. And then Debby arrived on the US East Coast bringing 5 to 20 inches of rain, so the raining, pouring joke I'd been making all week seemed predestined.

Editor's Note:
If you were hoping that the faiV would be a pleasant distraction from the overwhelming flow of AI-related content, sorry. For the record, the faiV had “ai” built in before Anthropic existed. And a housekeeping note: we’ve finally jumped ship from Mailchimp to NYU’s mailing platform—I guess if you’re reading this it’s been a seamless transition and if you’re not, well, you’re not. Feedback on the faiV’s content and format and delivery methods is always welcome, just drop me an email.
