One thing I’ve noticed, is that at least in the free version, if you ask chatGPT for sources outside itself, ‘can you give me a link to somewhere on it internet where it says that?’, it won’t do that.
It is very much a black box in terms of letting you track its logic.
Seems like future versions should be much more transparent in terms of letting you track the logic of why it’s telling you what it’s telling you.
fwiw, there's a building my sister lived in in Pittsburgh, the Penn Garrison, it's downtown, not totally sure what the history behind its development is, or what the window related zoning issues are in Pittsburgh, but it has one-bedroom apartments where the bedroom doesn't have any windows.
I'm too old to have done this when I went through school, but I suspect a good practice is to go through your syllabus, and but the major unit covered into the youtube search bar.
I suspect you get all sorts of parallel presentations of the material in a way that is quite helpful for retention.
Longer answer - from my prospective - I enjoyed the first book Path to Power the most, which revolves around LBJs early life up to becoming a US Representative. I thought it was very on par with the Power Broker. That an the Power Broker would probably be my first recommendation to an ambitious college kid who wants to know the real Politik of how the world works.
The next book Means of Assent was my least favorite of Caro’s books, but still highly enjoyable.
Master of the Senate and Passage of Power are both great. But sort of specific to LBJs spot in life. Great, but I’m not sure they sparked my thinking quite the way the Power Broker and Path to Power did.
The Robert Caro books about Lyndon B Johnson detail his effort to force meme “LBJ” as a reference to him.
(Mostly in terms of insisting various communications employees use it in press releases and what not).
It seems he liked the iconography of it, especially in putting himself in similar company to FDR.
Both his daughters have the LBJ initials, his wife is mostly known as Lady Bird Johnson (a nickname that predates their relationship, but is not her given name)
Google maps used to have a feature where if you scroll back from street view you would get a 3D rendering before they gave you the 2D satellite view if you scrolled further back.
Not sure why that went away, but it was pretty cool, and I enjoyed exploring a number of places with the feature before it went away.
I guess they can weigh that against their customers desire for privacy.
