“I don’t want to waste a single day of their time. None of us want our time wasted. As cheesy as it sounds, I want to make the difference. I want to give students the most effective and impactful experience they can get.”

Chris Speck has been an Albuquerque Public Schools teacher for 24 years. He said his career really started taking off after he spent time at Sandia during a work-study program called Research Experience for Teachers. He was paired with now-retired Sandian, Tim Boyle, at the Advanced Materials Lab.

“It totally transformed the way I teach science,” Speck said. “I worked with Dr. Boyle, and his big thing to me was, if you can make it hands-on, students will do way more beyond their comfort level than you think. If you do that and break it down and support them, they will be able to do it. It really upped ambitions for students.”

Now, Speck has eighth graders at Madison Middle School running biotech and DNA experiments and designing their own chemistry labs.

“To see them make connections, it’s much more than anything I could teach them or show them and that goes right back to Sandia,” he said. “Me learning there, if you make it hands-on, you will teach them much more than they could ever understand on their own. Positive experiences attract positive experiences. You want to keep feeling like you can figure things out on your own and a lot of them have never felt like that, had that feeling of accomplishing something they never thought they could do.”

Speck applies what he learned at Sandia to serve and inspire the next generation, a commitment that continues to earn recognitions. This year he was named Kirtland Air Force Base Hometown Hero, adding to past honors that include the Presidential Award for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching and the Golden Apple for Excellence in Education.

Elon Musk’s AI firm, xAI, has published the chat transcripts of hundreds of thousands of conversations between its chatbot Grok and the bot’s users — in many cases, without those users’ knowledge or permission.

Anytime a Grok user clicks the “share” button on one of their chats with the bot, a unique URL is created, allowing them to share the conversation via email, text message or other means. Unbeknownst to users, though, that unique URL is also made available to search engines, like Google, Bing and DuckDuckGo, making them searchable to anyone on the web. In other words, on Musk’s Grok, hitting the share button means that a conversation will be published on Grok’s website, without warning or a disclaimer to the user.

Today, a Google search for Grok chats shows that the search engine has indexed more than 370,000 user conversations with the bot. The shared pages revealed conversations between Grok users and the LLM that range from simple business tasks like writing tweets to generating images of a fictional terrorist attack in Kashmir and attempting to hack into a crypto wallet.

These trailers would feature heating, a miniature kitchen, swing out desks, a full bedroom, a bathroom and more. These made for an extremely flexible and convenient option for construction workers.
